May 2007 - Tucson, Arizona

Richard V. Chua, M.D., F.A.C.S., Neurosurgeon, receives the May 2007 Perioperative Physician of the Month at Northwest Medical Center. Here is what the Department of Surgery said about Dr. Chua, "From the moment Dr. Chua came to NMC, from Indiana, he has been special. He is a very fine neurosurgeon, who treats the perioperative staff with great respect. He lets us know ahead of time what his needs are, and actively listens to staff members while valuing their opinions. He is charming and funny, which greatly reduces the stress in the Operating Room and other perioperative departments. He is an excellent patient teacher, explaining things to his patients in great detail. He takes time for questions and never rushes. He truly exemplifies the values of Northwest Medical Center and is a joy to work with! Congratulations, Dr. Chua!"
