Dr ju is a very compassionate caring physician that has gotten my chronic migraines under control by adding migraine injections to my medications.

Review for Dr. Ju

Have been a patient for years and since Covid, the office will not let you come in if you are sick. Difficult to get an appointment. They worry more about the well visit than those that need a doctor for sickness.
