Patient Reviews
May 13, 2021
I really can't say enough good things about Dr. Chu. Very knowledgeable, kind, and has a good sense of humor. She is a busy professional like myself, but will still spend the time to check me out well since I am always in a hurry to get out of there :) I feel she takes her profession seriously with making sure I stay healthy. That is a good feeling as a patient to know your Doctor cares and will not let you leave until she is satisfied with her diagnosis. She is the best of the best.
