    Dr Ku is a great doctor. He is easy to talk to and explains things so they're easy to understand. I could have transferred care back to my primary doctor because I'm doing well, but prefer to stay with Dr Ku even though I have to pay more for the office visits.

    Dr. Ku has been of the best doctors that has worked with me. Diabetes is a scary disease, but he made me feel very comfortable discussing the issues and treatments. I really enjoyed his informal approach during our conversations.
