Patient Reviews
Apr 20, 2023
Dr. Chu has a great bedside manner. She is supportive and very good at what she does. I had single loop duodenal switch in 2016. Thanks to the thorough and complete support from Dr. Chu and her supportive staff doing such a thorough job, I went from 345 to 155. I was also able to get off cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes medication.
