Dr. Chu was great. What I thought I was going to see him for and what the problem actually was turned out to be different things. He was the one who figured out what was going on and did so pretty quickly. He's a smart guy and has a good staff as well.

I had an appointment with Dr. Chu for the first time today and not only was his office staff very personable and friendly but I loved my appointment with Dr. Chu. He never rushed me one time and took time out to explain everything and answer all of my questions. How refreshing! I cannot remember the last time that a doctor has done this and his bedside manner is fantastic. if you are looking for a neurologist I highly recommend Dr. Chu and only wish I had found him sooner.

I just visited Dr. Chu because of carpal tunnel symptoms. Dr. chu took time to describe the EMG procedure and explained thoroughly the results. The tests were not painful. Dr. Chu has a wonderful bedside manner and I must say I enjoyed the visit. He found I had slight nerve damage but was very reassuring that surgery will help restore most of the motion in my hands and will relieve the pain and tingling. I highly recommend Dr. Chu and his staff.

-Cole in Cypress, Tx | Mar 29, 2017
It is nice to have such a capable professional nearby. Dr. Chu saved me from years of pain and misdiagnosis on an elbow and wrist issue. I have already referred over a co-worker who was about to have carpal tunnel surgery...Dr. Chu was able to determine she had a shoulder issue that only needed therapy to sure the symptoms.

-Cyrus McCormick (son of patient) in Katy, TX | Jan 17, 2017
He treated my mother with exceptional focus and a true sense of urgency. He was able to rule out conditions in a systematic, prioritized way. We found other issues and addressed them promptly as a result of his efforts. We are thankful to Dr. Lambert for referring us to and will use Dr. Chu going forward for any needs in his area. His staff was extremely helpful as well, working with us while my mother was in ICU at Memorial for a separate issue. Dr. Chu actually called me directly the same day.

-Neal S in Houston, TX | Jan 17, 2017
Unfortunately I did not have luxury to see Dr. Chu. I have just moved into town and scheduled to meet with him 1 month in advance. I get a call a day before looking to reschedule. I tired to reschedule and they wouldn't see until after 2 weeks. Keep in mind I need my epilepsy medication and they were not willing to send in a prescription or help me in any way. I am stuck without meds and can have a serious seizure and they cannot and will not help. Don't put your life in the hands of people wh

Dr. Chu is a brilliant neurologist who is exceptionally meticulous when diagnosing the precise etiology of a malfunction in the nervous system. He has the eye of a scientist searching for answers and the heart of a physician trying to heal. He provided a straightforward and thorough explanation of my symptoms along wth protocols for alleviating the associated problems, and he continues to follow my progress.

Very thorough and intelligent application of his specialty but able to explain to me the issues going on and the potential risks and medical techniques to correct.
Was impressed with the technology and his use to determine the near exact location of the nerve impingement. Outstanding to know where the issue(s) exist.
Was interested in the examples of how this condition has affected my life to pass onto other patients.

-Yvette Zaguirre in The Woodlands, TX | Jun 23, 2016
I had an order to see Dr. Chu for a nerve conduction this morning, 6/22/16. Dr. Chu was very kind and made me feel at ease knowing that i dreaded the test and I just did not know what to expect. He made sure i knew what to expect when he was conducting the test for me to be comfortable with less anxieties. The needles that he inserted in parts of my arms, back, etc. was mild in pain. Dr. Chu really was light with his hand with the needle insertions. I highly recommend Dr. Chu. He is excellent!
55
-DTL in Spring, TX | Apr 06, 2016
Dr. Chu recently did an EMG test on my hands and arms. He was extremely thorough. He even had me come back a second time on my left arm and hand, as he found I have very unique locations for several nerves, and wanted to be completely certain on what information to share with the surgeon who will do nerve and carpal tunnel work.

Houston, TX | Mar 28, 2016
Dr. Chu is an exceptional doctor with a very good personality. When I went to see Dr. Chu, I was very weak; had no energy, could hardly breathe, and could not hold my eyelids open. Now I feel like a new person. My breathing is good, I have energy, and my eyes stay open longer.
