Dr. Chu has been my doctor for years. By now my partner/staff/relatives/friends have become his patient because we all experience him as caring, knowledgable and attentive. Dr. Chu is fluent in both Western and Eastern modalities which make him a rare find in the medical world. I'm deeply grateful for Dr. Chu.
