This important check up was as usual, informative and very interested in my condition and absolutely interested in my health and my lab results. Dr Chow makes recommendations and explains his reasons. I feel absolutely comfortable talking with Dr Chow. Dr Chow explains my lab results to my understanding and explains his findings. I like his explanation about my health according to my labs. I wouldn't want another Doctor
