Dr. Zhou is taking care of my mom, who has multiple myeloma. I was impressed when I first met Dr. Zhou. He called me at home around while he was attending to my mom at the Hospital. He said he was looking at her MRI. I wanted to him to show me what he was looking at. I told him I would be there in 5 min. I live nearby. He waited for me till I returned. He was and has been very thorough. My mom and I hit the lotto when met him. He is very knowledgble, caring. I have since refered him twice.

many doctors rush through but not Dr. Zhou. He spent time listening to me and is very patient. He even listed to different treatments plans from other doctor and answered my concerns and pointed out pros and cons of each. He treated me as a intelligent person, not someone to bark order at. I feel very confident with him. It's nice to see a doctor who really listens and cares. He obviously is very familiar with new treatments and developments. through our conversation, I found he has done many years research in addition to clinical work. Very lucky to find a good doctor like Dr. Zhou.

Doctor Zhou called me on Thanksgiving day when I shared some concerns with the doctor on call. He talked to me in length about my concern and explained in detail and in layman's language. I felt much better and was very touched he spent the time to do research on my case. He cited some most recent development in treatment of my particular problem. I felt he was a really caring doctor.
