After a less than ideal experience with another GI doc, I was hesitant to see Dr. Chua. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the office staff and Dr. Chua himself. He really listened and took time to explain his clinical reasoning. He laid out a 3 step plan for treatment which was completely individualized. I will be returning to him for a colonoscopy soon. While I'm less than excited about it, I know I'll be in good hands.

So far so good! I’ve been having a lot of GI issues and had seen other doctors with no straight answers. Dr. Chua saw me on a Saturday evening which I was really impressed with. He left me feeling very hopeful and gave me the answers I was looking for. Still need further testing but like I said, so far so good!

The office never confirmed my appointment, so I had to go in perso, hoping that I was in the system. After my visit, they failed to send my prescription to the pharmacy. Getting on the phone with them has been completely unsuccessful.
