Dr. Mary Chao earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Michigan State University. She completed both her internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Ingham Regional Medical Center. Before beginning her role as an internal medicine provider at McLaren Medical Group, Dr. Chao was involved in basic science research and holds a master's degree in biochemistry.
