Chiu Linda D MD

Went to Dr Chiu’s office yesterday morning after work to establish care and for some dizziness issues. I was referred to Dr. Chiu by several friends and family members. They all raved about Dr. Chiu. Being from the medical profession, I can appreciate a great doctor and great care. Dr. Chiu far exceeded this!
Bonus: Lots of cool collectibles throughout the office. :)
Case in point: Go to Dr. Linda Chiu if you want an articulate and professional ENT who will take her time to investigate what your medical issues are. Such great ‘bedside’ manners and a very intelligent MD!

People who know me well, know that I 1) hate going to the doctor 2) am particular and hate finding new doctors.
That being said, it was time to get established with a new Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) specialist, a task that I had been putting off for 2 years. The catalyst for my seeking out Dr. Chiu is that I have recently moved work locations to Kailua, and I’m within walking distance of oodles of professional & medical offices. When my former ENT recommended her friend, Dr. Chiu, I was happy to know that first of all, my former ENT recommended her, and second, that they are friends. That speaks volumes to me. Of course other Yeeps’ reviews also helped.
When you first enter Dr. Chiu’s office, brace yourself: she must be an avid collector, because the entire space is a collectibles showcase. There is SO much to see that you won’t need any reading material. If you’re a collector, you’ll want to go to see the doctor just to check out all the stuff! While some might consider the «museum» of collectibles to be stimulus overload. I say «What better way to distract you from what ails you?» So much to see, so little time!
Alana, the receptionist, is very friendly. I wonder how often she has to look at side or back of the patients’ heads when she’s talking to them, since they’re so busy looking at everything around them! But really, she’s efficient and professional, as well as friendly.
Dr. Chiu is very warm, down to earth and easy to talk to. She has a way of explaining things that isn’t dumbing anything down, but makes sense to us lay people. She was also excellent at reading my «Hah??» expressions and backed up to explain her reasoning without my needing to ask. My first visit yesterday was simply to get established, so that I can just stroll across the street to see her when I have an ENT need. Being super thorough, Alana and Dr. Chiu had noticed from information in my paperwork and from observation that I have some cold symptoms that still haven’t quit for over a month so the good doctor also treated me for those.
After my appointment yesterday, I was so happy with Dr. Chiu that I told a couple of friends, and it looks like they’ll be scheduling appointments with her as well. I love when I find a doc that I like and am happy to recommend to others!

Dr. Choy is awesome. Her and her staff make you feel welcome as soon as you make the call. When I walked in the office I was a little thrown off by all the collectibles. But it made the wait more enjoyable. As soon as I was taken into the back she made me feel very welcomed and answered all questions I had. I definitely will be referring family and friends to Dr.Chiu.

Just went back to Oahu, two weeks ago. Went to visit my favorite ENT on the planet, Dr. Linda Chiu MD.
I forgot to mention that when my asthma was out of control, she was the only doctor that noticed and made sure that I was using my inhalers properly. She is so smart. Even though that was not her area of medicine, she knew that could be part of my problem with breathing in addition to my nasal congestion.
She is incredible doctor, and a life saver. If I had any type of ENT emergency, she is the one person, I would want to take care of me.
Incredible and excellent ENT. The best on Oahu.
I have met other people from Oahu who went to the Mainland who were patients of Dr. Linda Chiu as well. They also raved about her.
Small world! :)

I will only go to Dr, Chiu for my recurrent vestibular meniere’s/ vertigo. I was living in a literal «hell on earth» until I met Dr. Chiu. She has been the most helpful doctor I have seen to help treat my disease. Very well spoken and educated, yet is able to make me understand what I need to do in order to be healthy. I am now a productive citizen again. I cannot thank her or her wonderful office staff, like Okahi, enough. If you have ear, nose and or throat issues, this is your last stop.

Best ENT I’ve ever been too hand down! I went in for a nose bleed she did a thural check of my Ears, Nose and Throat and found I had a large goiter. Dr Chiu ordered a cat scan and found that my goiter was so big it was pushing against my wind pipe. I was in shock we scheduled my surgery date with her and she took care of everything from then. I can’t say how happy I am to have found a dr who actually cared. I will recommend her to EVERYONE!

An ENT who treats migraines too? Awesome!
Dr. Chiu is amazing! I was looking for an ENT for my allergies/​sinus problems, which I thought were causing severe sinus headaches. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Chiu. She was so thorough and really made an effort to understand my history, symptoms and what my headaches were like. She concluded that my headaches were actually migraines.
I doubt there are many ENTs who treat migraines. I’m grateful that Dr. Chiu didn’t say that she couldn’t help me and refer me to another specialist. In fact, it was just the opposite. Having had several patients who had been misdiagnosed with sinus headaches when they were actually experiencing migraines, Dr. Chiu took it upon herself to learn about migraines and how to treat them. She had me start a migraine diary, so I could track my triggers and avoid them in the future. She also prescribed medication, which has helped tremendously with the pain, as well as changed my nasal spray. I continue to see Dr. Chiu for my allergies/​sinus problems as well as migraines, but I must say that she’s gotten them under the control.

if you are not friends with your tonsils, this is the lady to see. She is fabulous! absolutely the best.
