Recently I underwent NPH shunt surgery. I cannot express enough my gratitude for Dr. Chua and his team on how well my surgery went. I feel so much better and Dr. Chua has made it easy for me to feel at ease during my recovery. He answers all of my questions and addresses my concerns. Thank you for changing my life.
