Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2023
Dr. Chou has done two surgeries for me. My right wrist 9 years ago and he recently reconstructed the base of my right thumb. Post surgery two months now, I see great improvement through still in OT. I have recommended Dr. Chou to several people and related my experience with him and his staff as very positive.
