    Dr. Chu and her team are the best!! Kind, caring, and no nonsense each time I met with them. The communication is top notch - she responds and explains the test results with great clarity, and keen attention to any abnormality. I have met many doctors and from a family of doctors and I would say she is really one of the best in this profession! My health has improved tremendously with their care. I'm grateful!

    Dr Chu did an outstanding job diagnosing perotid gland infection that had missed on several earlier instances in the past 20 years. She linked me up with an ultrasound examination that will evaluate and possibly identify the cause of the condition and through my chart she linked this procedure to another ultrasound procedure. I needed. The physician and the whole team worked as well as one might think possible. This is the way to do things!
