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.

Dr. Chu family practice is not recommended. His mom works as a staff amd she is very rude and condescending to patience. Rushes patience and often overstep. Being busy does not give you a right to talk down ti people when were just trying to get clarity. Hire a competent person that has compassion. It shouldn't take 5 calls for a referral.

Horrible office staff. The way they carry their professional business is through directive ordering. Not only do they don't take the time to properly explain the issue or process, they are very rude and condescending making comments such as "if you're not in the field you won't understand so don't worry. " Well excuse me, it's exactly the fact that I'm not in the field which is why I'm seeking your expertise and its your job to care for your patience with some compassion.

Dr. Chu takes a lot of time with his patients. Unfortunately, he is not a very good diagnostician. His mother has tried to diagnose me on more than one occasion. She tries to discuss my medical issues and information while I am in the waiting room.
