I am very pleased with the care that I receive from Dr Chau. He is always responsive to any questions that I have regarding my health and recently saw me for my Wellness visit. He also proscribed an additional test when my urologist thought I might have too much protein in my urine. He is very thorough. He is also very knowledgeable. He does a great job.

Would not see this provider again - he recommended a non-safe OTC for a pregnant patient - plus he had 0% sincerity or bedside manner.

There was no physical exam - just computer questions - not enough person to person discussion.

Dr. Chau is the BEST, most knowledgeable and kind internist I have ever had in my lifetime when he was on paternity leave. I was referred to other MD's but did not receive the same attention or care as Dr. Chau.

The provider and I communicate through My Chart ... so phone calls about test results are not done at my choice.
