I was having health problems with my health and was feeling horrible. I’d seen other doctors but they didn’t find anything wrong. I went to Dr. Chow with my problems, she ordered many texts and found the problem. My parathyroid was over active! I have so much trust in her. She was so complete finding the problem to make me feel better. She also took the time to explain the removal or keeping it. She is so complete with her findings and her bedside manner is outstanding! I’m so lucky to have her as my Doctor!
