About Me

Philosophy of Care

I chose to be a pediatrician because I love interacting with children. I enjoy caring for patients of all ages. As a father of two daughters, I especially look forward to working with new families on the many challenges that await. I believe that to be an effective pediatrician, I should be a partner with my patient's parent(s) and work with them to offer the best child-rearing advice that I can give. I continue to stay active with medical education by precepting medical students from UCSF. Outside of work, I enjoy being goofy with my daughters while they still think it is funny, cooking, sports of all kinds and reminiscing with my wife about our days of international travel.

Personal Interests

Dr. Chow enjoys spending time with his family (wife and 2 daughters), sports of all kinds, scuba diving, cooking and travel.
