Dr. Ernest Chiu, MD

I would give him six stars if I could. I was referred to him after nearly two years of dealing with an ischial tuberosity ulcer that wouldn't heal. From the first visit, he presented himself as a supremely knowledgeable and confident doctor who could provide me with the best care. And that was my experience with him. From that first consultation to the final post-operative follow up: thorough, attentive, ever-available and patient. He even provided assistance with a non-related medical issue. Dr. Chiu is an incredible doctor who genuinely cares about his patients and it shows in everything he does.

Dr. Chiu and his team are so responsive, patient and understanding. I always leave the office feeling truly taken care of. If you are in need of the kind of care he specializes in, I would 100% recommend him!

Dr. Chiu is skilled, brilliant, accessible, articulate and kind and caring- not to mention one of the nicest people I’ve known. Around six weeks after a prior foot operation, I was told (to my surprise) that my foot suddenly looked very bad and that I needed to see a plastic surgeon/wound specialist immediately. Dr. Chiu worked me into his schedule late the next day and by the following afternoon I was admitted to Tisch Hospital/NYU Langone Health by Dr. Chiu. I then underwent multiple surgeries over the next six to seven weeks to repair the damage done in the prior operation. The surgeries Dr. Chiu performed were highly complex and he used unique, new skin graft techniques that only a handful of plastic surgeons in the world have the skill set to perform. Dr. Chiu is simply “the best”! Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him and my good fortune that he was there when I needed him.

Dr Chiu is an exceptional plastic surgeon. He did a glabellar transpositional flap on my nose back in Oct 2020. After few months, I am pleased with the cosmetic outcome. I will be forever thankful to him.

I had an incision under my collarbone from a recent pacemaker replacement that refused to heal. And the treatment the pacemaker doctor prescribed was not working. If the wound would not heal, the only option was to move the pacemaker to the other side of my chest--which is a big deal, especially at my age, and during a pandemic. I was recommended to Dr. Chiu by a plastic surgeon who trained him. Dr. Chiu took on the challenge with optimism. I am happy to report that after 3 visits over 4 weeks it is 99% healed and I have been discharged. The program he prescribed (and supplied much of the dressings for) was painless and easy to follow at home --and the new scar is as thin as a pencil line. I am so relieved and grateful. The staff and the doctor were competent and encouraging. They answered all my questions and allayed my fears. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Chiu. .

My experience with Dr. Chiu was excellent. He was very attentive to my concerns and always explained things patiently and thoroughly. Once the procedure was over, he remained very engaged as my recovery progressed. Everyone I encountered on his staff was also very kind and professional. I recommend him highly.

Dr. Chiu is excellent. From start to finish I was happy with the experience. The office staff are friendly however, there is a bit of a wait time. I went for a scar revision to correct a myomectomy scar that healed funky. I had the infamous pouch above the scar and an area that looked dented or what they call a scar depression. Dr. Chiu advised that he was capable to correct it. I was in for surgery about 3 weeks later. All went smooth. I had zero complications with the surgery and was home that day. Two weeks later Dr. Chiu removed the bandages. It is at this point that I was AMAZED. The incision healed so well that it nearly looked invisible! Two months later I am completely healed, no depression, no pouch and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Dr. Chui for scar revision surgery. FYI I am an AA woman for all my sistas out there who are considering. I have no darkening whatsoever.

I went to see Dr. Ciu to improve the appearance of my lower abdomen area, where I had a CSection. I explained, multiple times, that my biggest concern wasnt the incision itself, but rather that the scar looked tucked and made the area above and below the area bulge. He assured me he could fix it, but would need to put me under, because the scar looked like it had adhesion. Once the adhesion was gone, that area would be more smooth--and Id get the desired look I was going for. After the surgery, I asked him when I would see improvement in the bulge-area, he said I wouldnt and that only liposuction or weight loss would help...Had I known that,I wouldve opted for that from the start! I feel tricked...

Dr. Chiu is so nice. He was my surgeon for cyst removal. I am very happy and grateful that I met Dr. Chiu. His team are amazing!

Dr. Chiu is one of the nicest most honest doctors I have ever met. Dr chiu and his team are absolutely amazing! They are very caring and are always there to answer all of your questions and concerns. I am beyond happy and grateful that I met everyone in the office.

He’s is so nice! Cares to your needs! Throughout my whole procedure he and his staff were so there for me!!!

I consulted with Doctor Chiu about a scar I had from an emergency abdominal surgery. I trusted him from the very first meeting -- he was incredibly patient and listened to my concerns. He explained my options and made sure I felt comfortable before moving forward. I will always have some sort of scar, but it's much thinner now. Overall, I am happy with the results. My only negatives were the clinic fees (could be more of a complaint about my insurance coverage) and wait time for initial consult

Dr Chiu was my surgeon for breast reduction. From the first visit, he was both professional and caring. His positive attitude and encouragement reaffirmed a decision that was difficult for me to make. I expected to have much more discomfort (read too many blogs), but I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of pain. He explained every step of the way and was receptive to questions. I can not imagine a more positive experience.

Doctor Chiu operated on me twice in October/November 2018. He performed a Folded Forehead Flap/Nose reconstruction procedure on me. It was done due to the fact that a previous skin graft failed that had been done by a different dermatologist. Doctor Chiu has treated me with a great deal of kindness, compassion and respect. He is an excellent surgeon. He truly cares about his patient. He is very respectful towards the members of his medical team, the nurses and his office staff.

Dr Chiu is a delight.He listens,explains and is a really wonderful caring doctor.I recommend him highly.

We were so fortunate to have been recommended to Dr Chiu. He is an excellent surgeon and all around nice man. He scheduled my husband's unexpected surgery quickly even though he had to leave for a famity reunion. Talented and compassionate. Taking time after the surgery to show me pictures and explain what he had done. Thank you Dr Chiu.

Dr. Chiu is very professional and compassionate. My experience with him has been excellent. He listens to concerns and answers all questions throughly. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Chiu was fantastic! He was pleasant, professional and very detailed on the explanation of my procedure. I felt comfortable with his experience and skills when he performed my surgery. I would recommend this Doctor to anyone who is looking for a excellent plastic surgeon. My congratulations for NYU to obtain such a value employee. Best regards, Alberto.

After recent Mohs surgery, I was referred to Dr. Chiu. His staff facilitated a consultation on the very same day that I called. At that visit, Dr. Chiu explained the pros & cons of the several approaches for closing the wound. When I opted to have flap surgery performed, Dr. Chiu personally ensured that all the required medical tests would be completed in time to authorize my surgery prior to his scheduled vacation the following week. On the day of the surgery, he sat with my wife afterwards.

I have to say, my experience with Dr. Chiu could not have been better. Dr. Chui is such a learned, knowledgable, perfectionist, and personable doctor. I am a person who cannot handle needles, blood, or talk of anything anatomy.rom the moment my mother and I first met Dr. Chiu, he made sure to make us feel comfortable. He has great manners, unlike many doctor's who are so used to seeing many people. He answered all our questions, concerns, and was very patient with us. Truly a professional.
