Patient Reviews
Oct 07, 2022
I was a TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA patient. It is also referred to as "the suicude disease" because , as in the words of Harvard Medical School, "it is the most excruciating affliction that can befall a human being". There exists a suicide factor with the affliction, because the patient has no other option once medical management fails or medication requirements reach dangerous levels. Dr. CHU successfully performed microvascular decompression of my trigeminal nerve and gave me my life back. I don't imagine he even knows that. That was at Cedars Sinai 12 years ago. My name is Linda Wright and I highly recommend this talented surgeon. Linda Wright RathboneMemorial@aol.com
