Dr. Chu then attended the University of California, Irvine where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with degree in biological sciences. As luck would have it, he then attended and graduated from medical school at the University of California, Irvine – College of Medicine. Dr. Chu continued his medical training at UCI and did his training in pediatrics at UCI’s Pediatric Residency program. He then served as Pediatric Chief Resident in the year before he joined SOCPA and has worked at SOCPA since 2001. He worked mostly in the Lake Forest office for about 23 years and now is spending most of his time in SOCPA’s Irvine office.

“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.”
