Very kind, thorough, and caring consultation. Immediately was able to accurately diagnose my issue and recommend a course of treatment and follow up. I’ve met with other professionals in the group and chose Dr. Chua because she was available but this gives me a level of comfort knowing other professionals in the group are just as good. Highly recommended if in NYC/Northern NJ

Admit it - when you see all 5 star reviews you become skeptical but I am happy to say that they are MORE THAN DESERVED and Dr Chua and her staff are phenomenal. 2 things I have never experienced in a NY doctors off - Proactively calling me when I was on the waiting list to get moved up a week, and a Doctor who runs on schedule and I have never had a wait. Her staff is pleasant and efficient which seems rare these days for NYC medicine I imagine that this all comes from the top down. Dr Chua has a phenomenal bedside manner, she is very knowledgeable, and extremely caring. I find it hard to reconcile that I never have to wait, yet I have never felt rushed and she takes as much time as is needed to fully answer any questions. I am assuming this is due to great scheduling practices. I hope all my gastro problems are gone, but if not, I can take comfort that I have found a phenomenal doctor that is young enough to treat me for as long as we are both in NYC

Dr. Chua actually makes me ENJOY going to my doctors appointments. She is super efficient, listens to you, and covers all of her bases. She has supported me with my case of IBS and I always feel so comfortable in her office. Her receptionist and medical assistants are also very helpful and sweet. Please, do not consider any other gastroenterologist other than Dr. Chua! 10/10.

Very kind and patient doctor. I liked how she listened to everything I had to say. She is also going with a conservative and common sense approach rather than directly prescribing bunch of invasive tests (like a GI doctor had done before to me). She has a background in nutrition and I think this is definitely a plus for a GI doctor. Definitely will recommend her!

Dr. Chua was extremely helpful and nice. She thoroughly explained the procedure I was having done before doing anything, and then followed up with possible explanations for what I was going through. She suggested a few tests and a follow up to confirm her thoughts about what was wrong. I saw her very quickly (before I was even done filling out paperwork!) and her assistant was also very nice and helpful.

Dr. Chua is possibly the most kind and thorough doctor I have ever seen. She took the time and really listened to my concerns. She made me feel very comfortable and was not judgmental or dismissive at all. She was genuinely concerned about finding a solution and came up with a plan ordering tests immediately to rule out other factors and get to the bottom of the problem. I would highly recommend seeing her. The front desk staff and medical assistants were all very kind and organized. the process was very seamless. I was seen right away and out within 35 mins. Highly recommend.

Dr Chua is nice and professional but the office administration people are not so attentive. Not only they forgot to give my insurance card and ID, they told me to call insurance company to find out if they pay for the procedures. Most of my other places I go to they normally check for me and inform me.
