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.

We are fornunate
Dr Chu and his unique staff display the ultimate in professionalism. My surgery was scheduled at 9:20 and at 9:21 I was being prepped. Dr Chu removed melanoma from the top of my head requiring 11 stitches. You can't see the scar when standing in front. We are so fortunate to have someone of his his calibre to treat those in our community.

I asked Dr. Chu to look at a new and rapidly growing spot on my face and he pretty much refused. It did have some warning signs of skin cancer, but he didn’t listen when I tried to tell him. I went to a different dermatologist who biopsied it and it is skin cancer. This was very upsetting to me. Maybe he was having a bad day, but his demeanor was rude, upsetting, and insulting. I will not be going back.

My dad had a lot of skin cancer and Dr. Chu worked on him for at least 25 years. He passed away at 93. I have been going for about 15 years. Dr. Chu does a great job. For people like me who have significant skin cancer issues and require occassional Mohs surgery it is so nice to have a dermatologist who is also a highly qualified plastic surgeon which greatly minimizes scarring. He tells you like it is. It is up to you to take it seriously. I VERY highly recommend him.

Dr Chu and his entire staff provided me with the best quality care and procedures. During the summer of 2020 I had to undergo two separate surgical procedures on my face for skin cancer. I was very concerned about the work to be done. Dr Chu and his staff tried to alleviate all of my fears. Their concern and compassion were extraordinary. They were kind and empathetic. Their skills in caring were matched if not exceeded by Dr Chu's expertise in workmanship. The skin cancer was removed and the results of the surgery are almost non-detectable. I couldn't have been happier with the treatment I received there and I would never hesitate to go back. I would recommend Dr Chu for all of my family and friends. Some of the other ratings and remarks that are disparaging are in no way indicative of anyone I ever came into contact with nor reflective of any iota of service I received from Dr Chu and his excellent staff. I've been to plenty of doctors. I wish they could all be Dr Chu's.

I had a keloid on the top left of ear from a piercing that had been treated by several doctors but didn't stay away/gone. Dr.Chu removed the keloid and it has now been gone for officially 18 years you can't tell that the huge bubblegum ball ever existed. I most definitely would highly recommend him.

Dr Chu and his staff were extremely helpful, from making the appointment thru the actual (skin cancer) procedure. Dr Chu took time to make sure that all my questions were answered and in making sure I understood next steps. He made a scary situation more comfortable.

I have hypo ( no treatment for) and hyper pigmentation with scarring after his laser resurfacing. He proclaimed his expertise and successes, offered me no solution. Dismissed my results as a small percentage of his failures

In addition to his comprehensive knowledge of dermatology/aesthetics/cosmetic surgery,Dr Chu is at forefront of technology.He has 13-14 lasers plus other devices to perform a wide variety of treatments.He invests money & time learning, acquiring & maintaining his arsenal of equipment.He used the new PicoSure laser to treat dark spots on my skin.At followup he so generously re-treated my many sun-damaged areas at no charge to ensure excellent results & a happy patient. It worked!Highly recommend!
