    Dr Chu has been my primary care physician for over 20 years. I am very pleased with his efforts and trust him completely with my health needs. However, I am concerned with this intrusion of Optum. Optum has made my visits to his office as well as referrals MUCH more arduous!

    Dr. Chu listened to me attentively, asked questions to help determine the best plan for my illness to get me back to wellness. Dr. Chu also was extremely understanding and cooperative when I explained my current add'l aliments that could very well require a referral. He too was professional and recommended X-rays to properly and accurately diagnose my disability before proceeding further l. He too was patient with completing required documentation that my employer was requesting to justify my illness. I was most grateful for his patience with me.
