I'm so sorry to learn of Dr. Chou's death. He repaired my broken wrist and I found him to to extremely competent and, more importantly, compassionate. I know he will be missed among his friends, colleagues, and family.

Very, very sorry to hear of Dr.Chou's passing, a very talented, easygoing Dr., who always showed compassion to his Patient's. He did my Carpal Tunnel surgery back in June. I told him, if he did a good job, I'll let him do my other arm, He said " Wow, incentives !" He will be missed

I am totally shocked, Dr. Chou did surgery on my finger last year, he was so knowledgeable and sincere, he cared so much on the well being of his patients. My deepest condolences to his family.

Dr. Kent Chou was one of my tutor while in school. He was an energetic, kind and patient teacher. Many prayers to the family.

The Chou family is the most wonderful family you will ever get to know. Kent spoke super fast at times which made one have to really pay attention. He had a kind heart, was full of energy to keep up with the daily demands of work (as one of the best hand surgeons around), family and church callings. Kent will be missed by many.

I had the privilege of working with and knowing Kent for many years. His loss is felt by many of us in the perioperative community. He was an amazingly talented surgeon, and a good man. He will be deeply missed.

He did an excellent job on my wrist and elbow surgery last year.
What a terrible loss.
