Dr. Chiu is wonderful in engaging in shared decision making. He is great about assessing risk and explaining my options
My visit with Dr. Chiu was relieving and also changed my perception of visiting the doctors in whole. Dr. Chiu completed my wellness exam and also brought up some things that I didn't even know I could inquire about. There's an automatic feeling of trust with Dr. Chiu. It was nice to feel like I could communicate with him regarding a wide range of matters and feel comfortable doing so. I'm 19 and a man and wouldn't have visited if my mom didn't recommend Dr. Chiu; now I understand why she speaks highly of him. I'm grateful to have him as my permanent provider.
Always a good experience seeing Dr. Chui. Very friendly, personable, concerned and authentic. Don't want to lose him as a doctor, counselor and friend.
