“She has been there the day my kids were born, making sure they were healthy. I feel if she did not send my son for a chest X-ray after he was a couple days old, I do not think he would be here. He had pneumonia and had to be hospitalized. Again, she would check on his progress and visit him in the hospital after her routine in the office. She just wanted to be sure.

He walked a very difficult year with us each step of the way during chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant and many grueling months of horrible side effects – and over six weeks in the PICU, where our son had to literally fight for his life. Dr. Chu never gave up hope and, even when he had to deliver the worse news possible during the fall of 2006 while our son was in the PICU, he treated us with such care, dignity and respect and has become a friend and not just a doctor.” – Jennifer, Holly
