Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best doctor around!
Doctor Chau is by far the best doctor around. He genuinely cares for his patients and hears you out and looks into finding solutions to the problem. I often refer friends and family to doctor Chau because I know they will be treated with care and dignity.

I have recommended him to all of my family, friend
Dr. Chau has been able to successfully pinpoint the exact cause of several medical issues that were overlooked at my recent visits to the ER. He notified me of test and lab results that required immediate medical attention during weekend hours where his office was closed. Had he not could have resulted in my life being cut short. His mannerism in the office with his patients is unbeatable by far in the 58 years of my life. Would not replace him in a million years!
