About Cherie Chu, MD

It is such a privilege to be a pediatrician because I have the opportunity to build long relationships with families. I love being able watch children grow up knowing that I contributed to their well-being. I believe in an approach that focuses on a healthy lifestyle to maintain wellness. I work together with families not just for acute medical care, but also in preventive care by promoting lifelong healthy habits. I participate in the Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group Climate and Planetary Health Committee because I have an interest in addressing the impact of climate change on human health. I enjoy cooking, photography, crafting and spending time with my family.

Dr. Chu spent time discussing my child's concerns with my child and that made all the difference for us.

Sydney was likely one of Dr Chu's last appointments of the week. Even though Sydney is 10, she had a lot of anxiety about getting a shot, and was fearful and tearful. Dr Chu took the time and had the creativity to engage Sydney with her interests in animals to distract her, and make the process so much better. We really appreciate Dr Chu.
