About Cherie Chu, MD
It is such a privilege to be a pediatrician because I have the opportunity to build long relationships with families. I love being able watch children grow up knowing that I contributed to their well-being. I believe in an approach that focuses on a healthy lifestyle to maintain wellness. I work together with families not just for acute medical care, but also in preventive care by promoting lifelong healthy habits. I participate in the Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group Climate and Planetary Health Committee because I have an interest in addressing the impact of climate change on human health. I enjoy cooking, photography, crafting and spending time with my family.

Sydney was likely one of Dr Chu's last appointments of the week. Even though Sydney is 10, she had a lot of anxiety about getting a shot, and was fearful and tearful. Dr Chu took the time and had the creativity to engage Sydney with her interests in animals to distract her, and make the process so much better. We really appreciate Dr Chu.

The doctor is wonderful, she listens and gives sounds advice. The wait is the reason I would be hesitant to recommend
