About Me

My clinical interests are focused on interventional chronic pain management.

    A very talented physician!
  • September 20, 2025
    Dr Zhu is very good at what she does. Her technical skills are excellent. I know that the Pain Clinic is very busy but at times Dr Zhu comes across as abrupt, rushed and hassled. I do appreciate that she seems to listen better now and engages with me more via eye contact and replying to my questions.
