Dr. Chu provides excellent information while truly listening to questions and giving articulate answers. She’s a person who demands the very best from herself in order to help her patients. I feel so blessed to have been referred to her. My surgery and recovery were amazingly easy on me and problem free. I also want to give a shout out to her helpful, positive and friendly office staff!
