About Me
Every day as an otolaryngology surgeon I help people to feel better. I work in a highly specialized area of medicine that focuses on the face, head and neck area.
Through expert surgery, we can achieve a wide range of restorative solutions for patients. Whatever the procedure, I believe that all patients should get top-notch care. Ohio State allows me to deliver that caliber of care.
Our team of professionals has access to Ohio State's cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art research and clinical facilities. Our bench-to-bedside approach allows our patients to receive the best targeted treatment, which leads to fewer side effects and better outcomes.
When I'm not working, I like to attend Ohio State football games or take in a good movie. I also like traveling and relaxing with my family. When I have time, I enjoy doing home improvement projects.

He was excellent. He was attentive and an excellent listener. He was caring and reassuring. His focus was on the patient (me) and helping me with solid medical advice. Very pleased- a competent, caring and professional.
Finally attacked my nasal issues
He explained everything very well. He even drew a picture explaining all the various treatments and which were good or not good for me.
Very good

He was very professional, and very personable. He went into great detail to explain the questions that I had asked.
He was very informative and polite.
Dr Chio was absolutely wonderful. He answered all of my questions and made me feel more calmn about the surgery.
Very caring. Made sure we understood everything that was going on.
He puts you at ease. He explains everything in a way you can understand. He is very knowledgable.
He offered a very honest assessment of the care I'd previously received over many years to treat my spasmodic dysphona. Additionally, he informed me of changes and advancements that had taken place since my initial diagnosis of the condition nearly 15 years ago. And he let me know that another physician within his practice group could render this improved treatment if I choose to proceed with it. I was most grateful.
Everything was ok
Explained everything in detail and answered all my questions so I could understand
Good but lacking in communicationI didn't know how much time to take off & had to scramble with documentation after the factI was told my swelling was normal but didn't know it could turn hard as a rock & my whole neck swell up - thought I was infected
Dr. Chio was great! He took time to explain in detail and answer questions. He showed understanding & compassion! Will not hesitate to use him again!
Excellent knowledge and very professional.
None - was all good!
Kind, honest, thorough easy to approach.
Knowledgeable
Did not address all health issues, just the audiologist report.
Care was not impacted during this visit
Did a great job! Would have loved more explanation of what he saw in my nose in more basic terms for me to understand
Dr Chip was willing to treat my problem the day of my initial visit, which required a procedure. I was sincerely appreciative of this.
Good
Kind professional, caring and helpful
Excellent demeanor & courteous & gave good advice.
Good.
They are setting up all appointments to help me get a heart
Quick and efficient. Not one for chit chat, which I personally didn't mind. Good explanations of everything and at a level that most people would understand. He didn't go into a lot of detail of what could be caused if there were deficiencies in the aspects of the blood work he was looking at, but I didn't ask, so that wasn't really on him. Having a background in the teaching of interns/residents, I appreciated how he worked with the family practice resident that was with him that day. Overall, it was a good experience.
Very Good.
He genuinely seemed concerned about everything.
He spent a lot of time answering all the questions I had.
Doctor Chio is brusque, but I am very confident in his abilities. I think he was somewhat taken aback that I had done some research into options prior to my arrival, but when he realized that I was more than willing to defer to his expertise, and very amenable to his suggestions, together we set a course for treatment, and I feel very confident in his approach. I appreciate the time he took to explain things to me!
Excellent staff.
Very pleasant
Good
Evening appt. - Seemed almost annoyed that Dr. Adunka referred me to him before my surgery.
Dr. Chio very good experience.
Doctor was articulate, patient and knowledgeable
Care provider was great, direct but in a good manor.
The doctor was very deliberate and clear about what could be done and the services that I could expect.
Dr. Chio showed the chart and explained the results of my hearing test very well. Then recommended a crossover hearing aid so I could hear sounds on my left side, even though that ear was dead. He was very friendly and conversational.
Dr. Explained everything very well & answered all of my questions.
Dr. Chio is an outstanding physician. He is professional and explains procedures before he performs them. he is patient and listens to my questions and concerns. He is friendly and makes me feel relaxed. He is a credit to his profession and is a positive role model for other doctors and I'm thankful he's at OSU.
Friendly and explained everything very well and clear.
All good.
My husband & I felt he answered our questions & gave my good advice -
Surgical nurses held my hands as the anesthesia was taking place. I have had several surgeries but never one were I was as relaxed as possible with this surgery
Excellent, they all were friendly, courteous, professional
He was prompt and provided all information and options for treatment.
Dr. Chio doesn't mess around, gets to work and gets stuff done quickly and efficiently.
Dr. explained everything, very truthful and gave me what he would do.
This is the first time I meeting him. He is great.
He is awesome, I would recommend him to everyone.
Extremely knowledgeable.
Dr. Cho was very nice - but he seemed determined to have me consider a cochlear hearing device - which seemed premature. In this regard he seemed like a car salesman and not a physician. He is a surgeon, but not all people need surgery.
The provider was very good at his job. However every visit felt rushed. This might be a routine surgery for him but for me it was not. His soft side patient skills could be better as I always felt like he was in a rush to leave.
Very good.
Very fit, nice man, very knowledgeable
Even though time was short, the doctor took care of all necessary business.
Excellent!
Everything was great, couldn't be happier.
Excellent
My care provider is great. I like him
Knowledgeable, answered questions and provided clear information.
Good experience.
