Dr. Terence J. Chu, Pediatrics

Dr. Terence Chu, MD, FAAP, is a board-certified pediatrician at Southern Orange County Pediatric Associates in Irvine, specializing in the health and well-being of children. Practicing at SOCPA since 2001, he provides comprehensive, family-centered care for infants, children and teens.

Dr. Chu is particularly passionate about teaching and guiding patients and families, preventing illness and injury, and building relationships that last throughout a child’s entire childhood. As a member of the Rady Children’s Health Primary Care Network, he is part of a nationally recognized pediatric health system to deliver coordinated care and streamline access to specialty care and additional services when necessary.

Outside the office, Dr. Chu enjoys family time with his wife, Heather, and their two children, walking/running with his dog, hiking with his wife and kids, swimming laps, and working out on his own or with his family.

“I am lucky and blessed to help take care of kids and their families. It is so very rewarding to be able to watch different patients grow and change throughout their childhood, to help teach and guide patients/families, and to treat and prevent illness and injuries. I am now having the thrilling opportunity to see patients who “graduated” from my care now bringing their own children back to me. Pediatrics has really come full circle.”
