Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible bedside manner
If I could give 0 stars I would. He was so rude. Went to him for a second opinion and said there was nothing to be done and that I “should listen to all the other doctors” Went to him for a clot in my artery and made me feel like he didn’t believe me and asked why I had so many tests done. Um maybe because I’m 26 and I want feeling back in my arm. I never saw a Dr so rude in my life and I don’t recommend.

I am so grateful to Dr. Chur for taking care of me in the emergency room. His expertise gave me such reassurance and comfort during my procedure. His office staff is also very helpful and caring. I never thought I could be so pleased with my results.

Nice office staff and very comfortable with Dr. Chu. He answered all questions and made me feel at ease. I was early for appointment and he was still in surgery so I had to wait but the staff offered me coffee and kept apologizing for the wait. I would recommend going to him. Pleasant visit.

At the start,information and every answer provided, comfort during my journey, they were always on the other side of the phone,every detail covered and checked. Dr Chu came highly recomended by 4 of my md's. I am glad I placed myself in their care. Their expert care during my journey has helped create the new me! I will be forever thankful to them all! There are not enough stars for them all.

I recently wound up in the ER with my leg which had been split wide open. Dr. Chu diid a flawless job stitching me back together. The scars are hardly visible. My experience that evening in the ER and in follow-up with Dr. Chu and his staff the following week was extremely pleasant. These are caring, comforting professionals with a very personal touch. I look forward to my next visit!

If your reading this review you must be looking for a surgeon, STOP READING and make an appointment, it will be the best choice you ever made. I am now 6 month post up and could not be more pleased. I no longer have any pain in my legs.There are no words to express my appreciation, but she will always hold a special place in my heart. I consider her not only my Dr. but my friend. Sometime people will say only God can perform miracles but that's not true

Dr. Chu is the best surgeon ever. He performed a surgery on me and the surgery was a success. He is compassionate, professional, and he makes you feel as if you were dealing with a family member. I would recommend him to anyone for sure. I would not hesitate to use him again if needed. He ROCKS!

Very knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, friendly and delightful doctor. Enjoyed my visit with him as he explained everything about the surgery I needed very clearly. Can't think of a single drawback and I am fully confident of his expertise. The best doctor I have met in a long time. I recommend him highly to all who are planning surgery. In addition his staff was also great, very courteous and efficient.

Dr Chu is an excellent surgeon. I became acquainted with him after my surgeon recently retired. He is thorough in his explanations, gets you in quick, calls back fast, and even answers his emergency line, him self after hours. He even told me to just come to the office the next day with no appointment. I liked how simple he made things.
