Very rude and ignorant does not know how to read or follow instructions from the hospital. I would not recommend him to anyone unless you don't mind pain all the time! And his licence has been suspended in the past!

Not a good experience. Got aggressive and denied knowledge of my condition in office even though prescriptions where completed earlier.

I put up with him for several years for 2 reasons:(a) his office is very close to where I live and (b) easy to get an appointment - this should have been a red flag i.e. the fact that he is not as busy as others. He is way to old school. He is rude and gets defensive/agitated if you ask him questions. Recently, he wrongly diagnosed me with a issue and gave me two rounds of antibiotics (which I didn't need) and that screwed up my digestive system for months. Moving onto to someone else.

I have been a patient of Dr Chow since he took over the practice from Dr Schular. He has always been attentive, thorough and the best part is he listens. Also, he is always willing to work with me to get the most appropriate and up to date tests when needed without any heavy insurance nightmares.

An absolutely imcompetent doctor.I am 66 years old and in perfect health and knowing DR. Chow for 20 years.With this background he sent me to first X-ray and than ER for a absolutely unneccessary CT scan that may cost over $10,000. What is my problem? A simple twist of muscle while cleaning house which cause pain in the pelvics area.Now I may have to file for bankcruptcy because of his stupidity....
