I grew up in Utah and have lived in many different parts of the country. It was during medical school, when I did a summer internship here in the Willamette Valley, that I fell in love with Oregon. It is a privilege and a blessing to be here and to be able to care for my patients in all stages of life, from helping them through pregnancy to the menopausal transition and afterward. I believe in establishing a collaborative relationship to ensure that health care goals are achieved.

I am married and have three children. We are happy to be part of the Salem community. I enjoy all things outdoors, especially running, hiking and camping. Indoors, I enjoy cooking and watching movies.

He goes above and beyond! His ability to communicate, listen, and give recommendations is excellent!! . I know I am getting top medical advice and someone who continues to stay on top of research. Dr. Chau shares information about recent published studies that can help with specific reoccurrences I deal with; which makes him such an awesome doctor!

This was my first time meeting Dr. Chau. He had a great bedside manner, I felt comfortable & safe. He explained everything and even asked if I had any questions. He did not seem rushed or distracted as I have encountered at another facility in Salem.
