    Dr. Chu is very knowledgeable and makes me stay focused on the realities of my condition even when I try to "invent" new approaches to the treatment of my condition. I trust Dr. Chu as well as his recommendations. As new solutions arise over the years, I believe Dr. Chu will be well informed and will present the best practices to treat my condition.

    Based on the care I have received here by the providers, I will never seek care at Cedars-Sinai again, and am considering going elsewhere for another opinion about my condition. It's been over three months since my brain surgery and I'm having the same symptoms I was before the surgery. I was told the recovery time was expected to be one month, which is what I told my place of employment. I now no longer have a job because I still don't think that I can perform it safely.

    It's been an 8-yr journey from first meeting Dr Chu (who I selected from the neuros on C-S to interview and decided immediately that he was the doctor I wanted) through the craniotomy and periodic follow-ups as well as a non-neuro procedure. His care has been not just "very good" but consistently outstanding, caring and informative.

    This appointment was scheduled as a 6 month follow-up---I had the required MRI and the doctor seemed to think I had done it too soon but it was done for this appointment which his office scheduled. Dr Chu is very professional---I like him---I simply felt like this appointment was probably unnecessary and could have waited until this fall.

    Dr. R. Chu exuberates intelligence, confidence, respect. He respectfully takes control of sensitive & frightening situations with calmness, respect and brilliance. I could not ask for more as each conversation with him makes me feel as if I am in the hands of an expert who respects my condition and emotions. My list of praise and appreciation for Dr. Chu exceeds the space of this survey.

    My experience with Dr. Chu was a very different one than what I have experienced with a lot of other doctors (and I have seen many, many doctors.) Throughout the entirety of the appointment he was excellent in every aspect. He listened to me attentively, answered all of my questions, and addressed all of my concerns, while showing empathy and concern for how I was feeling. I did not feel rushed, whatsoever. He was thorough in explaining my condition and included me in the decision for my care; we were both in agreement with the plan, going forward. He explained the risks and benefits of the surgery, as well as typical healing times, etc. This was my first appointment with Dr. Chu, but as of now, I am very impressed. Based off of my first experience with him, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor in his specialty.

    Dr. Chu is extremely patient and kind. Our conversations re surgery encompassed many different considerations and complications. It was important to me that he also reviewed images which were done after our last visit to do a comparison and assessment. I have always felt I had his attention, ear and clear detailed explanations on the necessity for my upcoming surgery, despite my questioning other alternative treatment options. He is extremely patient!
