Dr. Edmond Kwokwei Chu, MD

After I saw Dr. Chu, it reminds me of why I haven't had a primary MD all these years. He's an insensitive person and has no people skills. For years, I haven't find a nice doctor that can I call my PCP. I usually go straight to a specialist or urgent care when I need to see a doctor. And to be honest, they're much nicer at the urgent care. After carefully doing research and reading reviews, I finally gave Dr. Chu a chance but it was a mistake. I came in for a recurrent sinusitis. Told him I had some reaction/side effects to certain kind of antibiotic. He told me it's not a reaction/side effect, it's just "You!" Doctor, a reaction doesn't have to be a full allergic break out of rash in the back/body area. Maybe you're too old to remember what you learned in school or couldn't keep up with the current healthcare trend... I told him I have some kind of unknown allergies break out with hives for 3-4 weeks. The only thing he suggested is keep taking antihistamine and wait out… few more weeks. He didn't refer me to a allergist nor a dermatologist. While he listened to my lungs in the back, he put one of his hand on my BREAST. It shocked me because as a patient I've never had any doctor putting their hands on my breast unless their intention was examining my breasts. As a Registered Nurse practicing for 4 years, I've never put my hands on anyone's breast while auscultation their lungs. There's no need to! I paid $85 cash (they don't have credit card access) and went home with nothing but a bad experience. No medications was prescribed nor any blood tests. I think I'll just stick to my old routine, going straight to a specialist or urgent care. There's no need for a PCP who has no empathy for their patients.

My father in-law complained about short of breath. As an old patient of Dr. Chu, the family doctor, he made more than one visit. Dr. Chu focused on his anemic condition which deserves another story. In the end, my father-in-law was found in the ER with fluid in the lung. He drained over a liter! How could Dr. Chu not detect it?

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Chu for about 28 years. Our children have been also however my daugher and her family recently have mover so they had to change but my son is still a patient and he is now 27 years old. He is very professional and very caring. If he doesn't know he will find out. Makes sure you get the proper treatment and cares. He cares about his patients and spends time with them. Returns calls in a proper time. His staff is good. I would recommend Dr. Chu to any of my family and friends. :-)
