Biography
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.

They could not have been any better!
Very good
Professional approach to my care, I felt very comfortable and confident with Dr Chio.
Answered all my questions
Took time to explain issues I didn't understand and was very kind and helpful
Very detailed analysis of my condition and available solutions
Dr Chio was wonderful I figuring out my block ear problem
Dr. Chio was great I couldn't have asked for a better doctor...
Was very good at his job and knew what he was doing.
Professional and reassuring
Good
Good. Very informative to my condition.
He seemed dismissive of my concerns. Showed me past CT, explained everything very well. My complaint of facial pain and swelling that I made the appointment for was dismissed as nothing; he pretty much said nothing he could do for me after looking inside my nose for less than 5 minutes. When I spoke, he would cut me off and speak overtop of me. By the end of the appointment I felt defeated and just agreed with anything he said because I knew it wouldn't matter my opinion or concerns.
Very thorough.
Excellent communication regarding condition and appropriate intervention.
Dr Chio was absolutely great!!! I had been to two other doctors and they didn't help me at all. One even said he never had seen a case like mine. Dr Chio read my notes carefully and then ask me more about my symptoms. Unlike the other two doctors I saw before, he then analyzed my situation and had answers and said he knew exactly what was going on with my ear problem within in 25 minutes! Dr Chio Is a great doctor In all ways!!!!!!!!!!!
Learned more at this visit than the last 4 months of seeing other Drs about my medical condition
Good
Friendly And very informative
Seemed really concerned.
Always explaining things. Answers any questions and after 4 years of coughing to the point of getting short of breath, he is the only one that has been able to dx and help me keeping under control
Good
He was so easy to talk with!!
Pleasant Thoughtful Informative
The doctor could not have been nicer and more informative and professional
The MD did not listen to anything I had to say, was very condescending and spent a total of 16 minutes in the room with me on a first time appointment. Very disappointing with OSU.
Fine
Very caring...an excellent Physician
Sharp, knowledgeable, confident.
I felt rushed and not taken too seriously. Wen trying to explain anything, Dr. Chiu looked like they were a little annoyed and impatient with me and any of my concerns. I think at one point he even gave me the hand gesture to come on with it, as I was struggling to find some words to describe my issues. He was also a bit abrasive in his general tone and speech when speaking to me. I was concerned for a growth that he barely felt then just said it was a lymph node. That's fine but when I voiced another concern, he was quick to have me get up, grab my things, then follow him out of the office to schedule another appointment. I wanted an ENT doctor and I think I was scheduled for the locaion that is an urgent care. They do nothing for me. I will not choose to ever see Dr. Chiu again and I will reccommend that other patients avoid his care as well.
He seemed kind of irritated I was there. He was abrupt and dismissive. I felt like my issue was of no real concern to him, thus was not worth his time. He mentioned a few things It might be; he didn't address next steps, If those possibilities had treatment, or what provider might be a better choice for follow up. I wanted to ask but it was clear I'd already taken too much of his time. His tag said he's an educator. I'm sure he's probably a brilliant ENT; he has the people skills of a porcupine. I'm assertive and I've worked in healthcare my whole career. I have a lot of patience and empathy for providers. But if I felt like I couldn't ask questions for clarity I shudder to think how that visit would feel to someone with no background.
My provider is amazing in all aspects of my medical care.
All good
All my experiences were good.
He was very factful about the Inspire treatment. He talked about the % of success rates. Very honest.
Informative, open to my thoughts
All good
