I understand having a backlog of patients but when you are waiting over an hour from your scheduled appointment and having the staff say "sorry doc is double booked", that's not an acceptable excuse. Then they take you into an exam room and you wait another hour, just ridiculous. We're young and can handle waiting but you have kupuna waiting the same amount of time. Simply unprofessional. read more

Dr. Chow should not be allowed to practice medicine. He talked me into a surgery I did not need when I was a young adult. My condition did not require surgery, but he convinced me otherwise--and it made things so much worse. Now, I have to deal with my ear popping out hundreds of times a day. I can't even speak or hear normally anymore because certain movements make it pop out. I used to love music, but now I hate it because it reminds me of this surgery. I get so upset--I can't even sing anymore. NEVER GO HERE. This was the worst decision of my life. read more

My first visit with Dr. Cho January 11,2024 I was late to my appointment due to transportation company . My insurance company was so nice to explain the situation to Dr. Cho's office when arriving I was seen within 5 minutes. I was so Blessed with the staff very friendly! I was escorted to the room and waited 3 minutes and he arrived Dr.Cho was so caring he took the time to walk me through 2 choices I needed to make .He is such a kind ,gentle, true person I am able to trust what he needs to do .I'm very Blessed to have him to care for my health. Thank you Dr. Bao Pham for referring me here! Another Great Doctor!!! read more

Dr John Cho is personable and professional. He is knowledgeable in his field and can get right to the cause of any problems one is facing and help fix it for good. He offers options and data. Highly recommend this doctor. read more

Dr. Cho was my surgeon for my tonsillectomy back in March. Although I was worried about it at first, Dr. Cho reassured me and made me feel prepared before my surgery. I would highly recommend him! read more

Dr. Cho is a geniune doctor, I mean the kind of doctor that spends time asking YOU plenty of questions, explaining the possible causes and the treatment. Of all the years of seeing ENTs, I finally found a doctor that's up to date on the latest procedure and have incredible bed side manners. Thank you, Dr. Cho! read more

For years I suffered from chronic sinusitis. Finally I was referred to Dr. John Cho and Straub from my PCP. In my initial visit to Dr. Cho he reviewed my symptoms and took a look inside my sinuses. He determined that fixing my deviated septum and clearing out my sinuses would help me in the long run. My sinus surgery was very successful and I feel great after one year post surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Cho for any type of sinus surgery as he was very thorough And competent. read more

Worthless. Waste of of time. Took 4 months to a get an appt. Parking garage took 30 mins and ended up being late and the dr wouldn't see me. Rescheduled is another 4 months. F. U. read more

Dr. CHo worked on my Ulnar nerve in my elbow when I lived in Phoenix. My arm came out perfect and no longer falls asleep. He also pinned my wife's finger when she broke it. Aside from being a good doctor he is a wonderful person. And I was glad to have met him and been a patient of his. I wish him well in his career as a doctor. He really cares about his patients. read more

Dr. Cho is a great ENT, although I've only gone to two ENT specialists in my lifetime (this count includes Dr. Cho, hahaa). Booking appointments are a breeze, and there isn't so much delay so you'll be ushered to a room fairly quickly. He seems very gently, on the quieter side, but not awkwardly so. I would recommend him. :) read more

I was so scared to get my tonsillectomy surgery that I put it off for 3 years. By the time I actually decided to do the surgery, my tonsils were beyond infected and full of stones. Despite the difficulty, the surgery was quick, clean, and skillfully done. I had zero complications post-op. I am so glad I got them removed. Dr. Cho is a great doctor and I highly recommend choosing him for all your ENT needs. read more

Dr Cho is my hero!!! For anyone who is an adult and has tonsil issues...have no fear! I had mine out 1 week ago (tomorrow) and it was legit the easiest/best experience ever. His office staff is awesome, pre/post op staff with Straub=bomb. Heck, even Dr Z (anesthesiologist) and his nurse were amazing. No one ever says tonsillectomies are an easy recovery (don't believe me? Check out google for the horror stories!) and maybe it's partially because I'm pretty awesome myself...but it was less painful than my easiest round of strep. I should have done this years ago! Also - they keep a cool dry erase board at the front so you know if he's running slightly behind (only because he makes sure you leave with all questions answered), which is helpful. You don't sit there twiddling your thumbs wondering how long it'll be - and they're always right on with the time! I wish I could give him 10 stars for doing such an amazing job ripping out my tonsils!!! read more

What a warm, genuine personality! So kind and caring. Explains what he is doing and why. Lucky for me he had a cancellation so I could get an emergency visit the next day. Will follow up with him. read more

Dr. Cho is an amazing physician! He is intelligent and friendly. He is the kind of surgeon that will give you all of the options available and then help you decide which option is best for you. He is extremely through and spends time with you. He put a scope very far into my nose and it wasn't even uncomfortable at all because he knew what he was doing between the numbing medication and manipulation of the endoscope. By the time I left his office I could explain what a deviated septum was to all of my friends/family and I was able to outline the treatment options available to me. I thought how he educated me about it was pretty impressive! Dr. Cho will go the extra mile for you and he has an excellent bedside manner. He genuinely cares for his patients. This combination of intelligence, skill, and empathy is rare and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Cho! read more

Dr. John Cho has all the qualities you would hope for in Doctor. His treatment of my throat infection was timely and urgent, he never downplayed any of my complaints or symptoms, his examinations and tests were thorough, and his patient after-care really made me feel taken care of past the point of the doctor visit. He is kind and easy to talk to, while also maintaining a professional level of expertise in his field. I highly recommend anyone with ear, nose, or throat issues to see Dr. John Cho. read more

This young physician is likable and has the potential to be outstanding, but it will not happen in an office environment that is downright abusive. Abusive as in waiting months for an appointment, and then having staff cancel your appointment AFTER arriving in the clinic. Abusive as in waiting 2.5 hrs in an empty waiting room, with not a word of apology or explanation. Then the procedure was so rushed that it produced no therapeutic benefit, and instead resulted in an infection. I had this procedure done subsequently on the mainland, and it took about 30 minutes, as compared to the 2 minutes in this clinic. And to top it off, the billing was totally wrong, requiring multiple calls to the insurer and clinic before it was corrected. My advice to Dr. Cho is to find a new professional home! read more

Dr. Cho is an EXCELLENT ENT. I never felt more comfortable going into a surgery. I couldn't be more happy with the results. For my consultation he was honest and wasn't trying to sell my on his surgery, he gave me all the info I need so that I could make the best decision for me. He is very professional yet personable and good at what he does. His clinic is run very smoothly. The waiting room is almost always packed but it moves quickly and that shows to his work ethic and efficiency. read more

Dr. Cho was extremely competent and warm and friendly. He took time to answer my questions and had an easy going style. I was so very happy to find him and receive excellent service. read more

Very professional and competent. This guy is easy to talk to and knows what he is talking about. I was able to get seen on short notice for a mysterious ear problem and Dr John sorted it out quickly and sent me on my way with a clean ear and some antibiotic drops. Hopefully I never need to, but if so I will definitely go to him again. read more

The Dr. himself would get 5 stars as he's excellent. I saw him approximately 1 year ago and appreciated very much his timely and top-notch care for my condition. The reason for the 3 star rating is that I am now unable to book an appointment for an ongoing ear issue. When I spoke to his office the gal insisted that I get a primary care doc to fax a referral and something about the next appt being in December (it's now July). I told her my wife is a primary care Dr. who was referring me to a specialist. No good ... guess I'll have to find another doc as Dr. Cho is essentially unavailable. read more

Great doctor and he did an excellent job on me. I had sinus problems for a long time and he did a Sinuplasty surgery on me and cleaned out my sinuses and now I can breathe through both nostrils! My voice is clearer too and no restrictions when I sing! Amazing. Dr. Cho is very nice and patient and so is his staff at Straub. I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I recently had a tonsillectomy done by dr john cho. Im 38 years old and was terrified. Dr cho is amazing and extremely knowledgeable. First visit he put a scope in my nose and saw i had tonsil stones. I explained to him that i had frequent sore throats and ear infections. I was scared as my left tonsil was bigger than the right one and i wanted to make sure he did a biopsy to see if i had hpv cancer or tonsil cancer. Surgery went great. Manageable pain and biopsy results great as well! I will be back to him for any other surgery needed. Thank u doc!!! read more

Dr. Cho is da man! You can tell he really cares about fixing your problems. He takes you step by step through the process and even shows you cool pics and videos of the inner workings of your nose and throat ( in my case). I would definitely recommend him to anyone with sleep issues!! read more

I've seen a number of other ENT's over the years and Dr. Cho is by far, THE BEST! Brilliant doctor, excellent surgeon, super kind and personable, and very approachable and caring. Definitely my ENT for life! read more

I couldn't be happier with Dr Cho's professional bedside manner. His warm smile helps calm you down. I thought I was seeing him for laryngitis. He put a scope down my throat while saying "you're gonna love this"! Well I watched on the screen in front of me as he gently spoke to me and showed me my vocal cords. They were fine. Right away he told me what I need is speech therapy and he knew just the person to help me. Of course it worked! Thank you Dr Cho read more

Dr. Cho is so awesome. He has good bed side manner, I feel that's very important in health care. I like that he doesn't jump to doing surgery and he suggests other alternatives, unless it gets to that point. Just a note that he does get booked up pretty fast ! Just like any other specialist. So schedule your appointment ASAP. Thank you Dr. Cho read more

i would love to go a still see dr cho. but his office at straub make my allergies go crazy to the point that my eyes ,ears and throat are so inflamed and itchy an runny on a scale of 10 being the worse allergies i had ever since i was a kid. i feel like i have a cold within seconds of arriving to his office building. as soon as i left the building i felt better but now have to deal with the aftermath of it and hope i not get a sinus infection which was the reason i went into see him in the first place . i give the location of the office a big fat 0 stars because i leave the office feeling miserable for the next couple days. as for the dr he is very good and thorough. he makes sure you are comfortable and helps you understand whats maybe going on with your sinus. the only thing that i wish he listened was he told me my sinuses are inflamed. i told him it only got like this as soon as i hit the building his office is in. don't know if he took that into consideration. read more
