Hanna Chao, MD, PhDContact Info

Dr. Hanna Chao is an Internal Medicine physician dedicated to providing comprehensive, patient‑centered primary care. Her path to medicine began in Germany, where—growing up as the daughter of Chinese immigrants—she often translated for family members and employees during medical visits. Those early experiences, along with the mentorship of an exceptional primary care internist, inspired her to pursue a career devoted to improving patients’ health and well‑being.

 

Dr. Chao specializes in General Internal Medicine with clinical expertise in diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, COPD/asthma, and preventive medicine. She is committed to both primary and secondary disease prevention, approaching each patient as an individual with unique needs, goals, and circumstances. Building trust is central to her practice; she prioritizes understanding her patients deeply so she can partner with them to create effective, personalized long‑term care plans.

 

What Dr. Chao finds most rewarding is helping patients enhance their quality of life and longevity through accurate diagnosis, thoughtful treatment, and proactive health management.

 

Outside of medicine, she enjoys traveling both within the United States and internationally, especially when it allows her to explore local cultures and cuisines. She is also passionate about mentoring individuals interested in pursuing careers in health care.
