Biography
As an oculoplastic surgeon, I specialize in plastic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids, eye socket and tear drainage system. Vision is a vital sensory function and the appearance of the eyes profoundly affects how people view themselves. When impaired by trauma, cancer, or the ravages of time, my job is to restore these critical aspects of a patient’s life.
My approach to care is to build partnerships with my patients, educate them about their diseases and offer various treatment options. I guide them through the treatment process to ensure they receive the highest level of care. Patients know themselves best, and given the right information, can make the best choices for themselves.
I’m proud to be part of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Not only do I get to care for wonderful and interesting patients, but I also have the opportunity to pass my knowledge and expertise on to the next generation of physicians.
I grew up in Toledo, Ohio and then traveled the world for 21 years as an Army physician before retiring from the military and moving back to the Buckeye State with my wife and two boys. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching Ohio State football and singing with the Columbus Symphony Chorus.

Provider told me something about my condition that was new information that did not make sense to me, and I tried to ask the right questions to have a better understanding. I did not come away with an answer I could understand, and I felt like pursuing the issue longer was going to take me over the time alotted.
He spent very little time with me and when I explained that the area on my eye he was looking at was bothersome to feel in my eye. He did not address my concerns about the discomfort and simply stated that I would need imaging of my eye and if I had further problems to contact a cornea specialist. Appointment was for a blemish, mole, that is not near my cornea.
Good
Dr. Cho spent time evaluating how my condition had changed since scheduling my procedure to make sure that the procedure was still necessary, which I appreciated. He listened to me when I expressed that the anesthetic seemed to be wearing off during the procedure.
