Was sick and spent the whole night before throwing up. She basically told me I was faking it so I lost all respect for her and told everyone I know not to see her.

Dr. Chua is the only doctor who has actually been able to help me regulate my thyroid to make me feel better. She believes in functional medicine. In other words, making the patient feel the best they can, no matter where the blood work numbers are. "Normal" versus actually "functional" is different! Cons: Phone calls NEVER result in a call back from the doctor, but a nurse. Most situations must be called on twice. This is a FACILITY call center problem, not a doctor problem.

Longtime patient that has seen Dr. Chua less and less available to her patients over the past year. Her physicians assistants who seem to be running her office now are who most often is assigned her patients. They have prescribed antibiotics that I am allergic to, they have written scripts for the wrong medicine, and they handle patients very quickly, and incomplete. I am searching for another family doctor after 3-4 incidents that were medical mistakes on their part.

She is never available, and when you can get an appointment she will spend 99 percent of the time she is with you typing. She won't review your history before seeing you, so frequently makes mistakes concerning your care. She has misread test results. She makes recommendations based on test results which are contradictory to obvious patient needs (i.e. tells a patient rapidly losing weight that, because the cholesterol test came back high, he needs to cut back on his caloric intake.)
