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 in the US.
My wife and I have been going to her over 20 years. We both trust and love her. She does ,not suffer a fool. If you go to her to be treated and does what she advises, she will try her best to make your life better. However if you go to her with the attitude you know more than her she will not waste her time with you. She is a great Doctor and we vaiue her as our physician and friend.

Both my husband and I saw Dr. Chu - we both have very complex medical conditions that require multiple specialists. Dr. Chu told me to seek care at Mayo but I required a referral due to Tricare- Dr. Chu stated she's "never had to refer someone to Mayo...that's not my problem". She also changed the dosage on both of our medications without our consent or knowledge. Further, she ignored VERY abnormal test results and only focused on NORMAL thyroid levels and tried to push a higher dose of synthroid for no reason. She was rude and argumentative on the phone over Tricare and its complications. We changed our Primary and are not going back.

I was both insulted and offended by the treatment I received from Dr. Chu. She did not want me as a patient and she made that very clear to me during my first and only visit with her. I had to wait a few weeks to see a doctor and I had a lot of issues that needed to be resolved but only discussed with her the issues that were negatively affecting me in every area of my life. I also explained that it would take a while to even see another doctor, but truly my health was not her concern and what she could do to help the matter she refused to. She left and informed her assistants that I didn’t want to receive care there when the truth was she was unwilling to provide care. This was the last thing I needed to experience at this time in my life. It was hurtful and unethical.

Dr. Chu is a wonderful doctor. I’ve been going to her for fifteen years and she’s always very professional, thorough, up to date on the latest medical information, prompt, & personable. She spends time giving explanations, listening, & answering questions. Her nurse, Chris, & all staff are always most helpful, efficient, & friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Chu.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Chu and her staff. Every time I have had to call the office with a problem, I have always been seen on the same day. The staff is very friendly and always makes me feel at ease. Dr. Chu is always concerned about my problem and makes sure I understand the diagnosis and the treatment. If you see looking for an excellent doctor, you can’t go wrong with Dr. Chu!

I recently moved to Savannah & needed to find a Primary Care doctor that would replace the exceptional care I'd come to expect w/my doctor for 30+ yrs in San Diego. After my first appointment with Kathy Chu, MD I just knew I was in great hands! I was so relieved to meet a physician that was professional, thorough, but also willing to work with me in a similar fashion to what I had been accustomed to with my previous doctor. In just one visit she provided me w/refills for all of my medications; gave me her own personal insights & referrals to specialists I would need for ongoing care; and was also able to get me in for a mammogram during the middle of the pandemic. I was so impressed, I called my friends & all of them were just amazed! I am so thankful & so relieved that my quest for a new life in Savannah has been made that much easier with a great new doctor like Kathy Chu, MD! I strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional, efficient, & precise approach to medicine!!
