About Neelima Chu, MD, FACE

I practice as a team with Dr. Deborah Oh, and we work together to provide you excellent care. I feel that being a physician is one of the noblest professions. I am honored to have the opportunity to guide patients on their health care journey. I love the science involved but above all I enjoy the interactions I have daily with such wonderful people. It is truly a privilege to be in a position to help someone. I believe in empowering each patient with the knowledge of their medical condition to achieve the goal of good health. There is a tremendous amount of information available online, and I believe it is my responsibility to help individuals understand the difference between fact and fiction. I love to travel and spend time with my family when I am not working. I have lovely teenage twin daughters who keep me busy with all of their extracurricular activities. For relaxation, I enjoy reading, cooking and watching movies.

Dr. Chu and I discussed changing dosage of medicine. We discussed this together and she listened to my concerns.

She is not taking new patients, so recommending her would not work anyway, but I surely would recommend her. She's the best there is.

Dr. Chu is incredible. I wouldn't want anyone else to be my endocrinologist and to have worked with her through my cancer treatments has been the best.
