    I have been very pleased with The Spine And Rehab Group. Dr. Chu is very knowledgeable. He took his time going over my chart, listened to my concerns, health issues and explained the medication he was put me on for my migraines. He even put my mind at ease with another health issue. I’ve been to numerous neurologist and I’m very happy I found this practice.
