Very impressed with Dr. Chiu who is always 100% present, very articulate, great communicator, very knowledgeable, lightening fast on the computer, and very personable. I also feel I am included in decision on my care going forward and given a voice. It's a collaborative endeavor. I feel seen by her and am happy to have her as my RA doc.
