Commitment to Patient-Centered Care

“I am passionate about providing personalized care that is value-added and delivered in partnership with my patients and their families. I use my expertise and knowledge about the latest and most appropriate technology to tailor my recommendations to each patient’s unique needs. I offer information, counseling, and guidance to my patients as they make their own decisions about their health care. Finally, I choose to practice at HCMC because of its mission and its commitment to deliver the best care available.”

Dr. Chu has broad and diverse clinical interests, with a specific focus on chronic venous insufficiency (varicose veins), venous thromboembolic disease (blood clots), interventional oncology, and critical limb ischemia and salvage.
