Dr. Chow is literally amazing along with all of the nursing staff, I have concerns they listen. I asked about a new treatment drug for my son Dr. Chow made it happen. I really hope he will be at Dayton Childrens for a long time his bed side manner is the best I've ever seen and is a true asset to the hospital.
