Background
Dr. Harold Yihao Wu is a minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon and researcher who specializes in treating women with abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis and endometriosis. He has extensive expertise in minimally invasive surgical procedures to address these conditions. Dr. Wu also conducts clinical research to find ways to continue improving patient care and outcomes.
Dr. Wu understands that the best patient-centered care depends on open and honest communication between doctors and patients, which he facilitates with a caring and compassionate approach. He ensures each individual has time to ask questions and voice concerns. A skilled listener, Dr. Wu honors the trust patients place in him. He creates a safe environment to discuss all aspects of women’s well-being and experience, including menstrual problems, pelvic pain, and LGBTQ and sexual health.
Dr. Wu’s distinctive education started with earning his bachelor’s degree, summa cum laude, in music and neurobiology at Harvard University, where he was named to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. He earned his M.D. at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society.

Dr. Wu then joined the Johns Hopkins Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics as a faculty member.

I could not be more grateful for Dr. Wu. He has navigated my case over several months, he always responds to my messages promptly and thoughtful and answers all my questions. He is an exceptional surgeon and performed with confidence and ease a minimally invasive surgery that other top-tier physicians did not think was possible. He is incredibly kind and easy to talk to and always made me feel so cared for even as I asked a million sometimes nonsensical questions. I am glad my surgery is over but will miss Dr. Wu!
