Surgeon Testimonial

Uyen Chu, M.D.
Initially, I was referred to Dr. Stevens; however, he was out ill and I met with Dr. Chu. My first impression was neutral. I have received high accolades from many about Dr. Chu and her expertise. No complaints about her care. A member of my bookclub works with her in the OR as a surgical nurse, and she feels Dr. Chu is a leader in her field. She told me that if she had to choose, she would choose Dr. Chu. The office staff are cordial and very knowledgable. She answered all of my questions appropriately and knowledgably. Surgical competence, for this kind of procedure, is foremost with me, and she has clearly demonstrated an adept hand. Her kind, gentle, calming bedside manner is an asset.

Week #33 - Get Moving!
on October 20, 2008 6:50 pm
I'm proud of myself.  I've been exercising consistently, going to the gym at least twice a week for the last 2 weeks and doing some other form of exercise at other times in the week, i.e., walking on my treadmill at home.  I also cut my hair because it has thinned out so badly.  I heard the word "sassy" 3 times today to describe the new cut.  The scale has been pretty steady, so I hope it's due to increasing muscle mass.  It's a struggle sometimes to limit my caloric intake, a reminder of how unhealthy my diet habits were.  Snacking is starting to creep in again, a reflection of my tendency toward emotional eating.  I'll be in the struggle for life.  Head hunger is a beast!  I hope to win that battle.
