    I had my first appointment with Dr. Chelu, and I've truly never felt more seen or cared for by a provider. She listened closely to all of my concerns, asked thoughtful questions about my life, and made me feel like an individual, not just another patient on her schedule. She was incredibly kind and empathetic throughout the visit. Dr. Chelu also made sure to explain what she was doing every step of the way, and when I had questions, she answered them thoroughly and clearly. I left feeling informed, respected, and genuinely supported. I'm so grateful to have found a provider who offers both expertise and true compassion.

    Dr. Chelu is competent but definitely has her own opinion about your care and doesn't seem open to discussion.

    The clinician is very knowledgeable. She calmed me down and was able to complete a scary ultrasound efficiently and painlessly.

    Dr Chelu was a delight. She's personable, compassionate and extremely thorough. My daugher, who is rather shy, felt very comfortable with her. Thank you so much!

    Oh my goodness'what an AMAZING doctor! Seriously. From the moment Dr. Chelu walked in, her bedside manner was impeccable. She took her time with me and never made me feel rushed, which is so rare these days. I was beyond impressed that she didn't just come in to do a routine pap smear and leave. Instead, she thoughtfully reviewed my labs and took a comprehensive look at my overall health. She approached my care with compassion, diligence, and a level of attention that every patient deserves but rarely gets. She truly listened and made me feel seen and heard. Honestly, she's one of the best doctors I've ever had, hands down. The University should be incredibly proud to have her on their team'she is a shining example of what excellent medical care looks like. Her tender care and professionalism should be the standard for others to follow.
