Patient Reviews
Feb 09, 2021
Dr. Chu removed my thyroid May 1,2012 and I have been doing well since then.I had to move back home to Louisiana and I often think about how Dr. Chu and all the other doctors in Pa. saved my life.I will forever be grateful to them. Dr. Chu has a most awesome personality and I would recommend him to anyone living in Pa. I only wished my husband could have seen Dr. Chu but we couldn't go back to Pa. My husband passed in Louisiana May 26,2019 from Esophageal cancer and Louisiana has some of the worst doctors. Thank you Dr. Chu for saving my life,you are an "Excellent" doctor. Sincerely, Yvonne Bryan
