Reviews of Cho David MD (Doctor)

Robert Holliday

While the surgery performed was minor in nature, Dr. Cho's professionalism was of major importance to me. Upon first meeting, I felt immediate trust in him and believed that he would skillfully leave little or no scar. My initial hunch was correct, and my post-operative results were excellent. I am not only pleased with my outcome, but also satisfied with the professional atmosphere of nurses and staff. As a result of my positive experience, I recommend Dr. Cho to anyone seeking minor or major surgery.

I had eyebrow lifts a year ago. With the incisions above my eyebrows, I healed quickly and I cannot detect any scarring at all. My friends often comment on his beautiful results. Dr. Cho is very personable and explained to me in detail what to expect and how long recovery would be. His assistants and office staff are exceptional, too. I was at first hesitant but they put me at ease and made me feel comfortable with the procedure. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Cho is a great surgeon. He removed an object lodged in the bottom of my foot which required making an incision, removing the object, and stitching the incision. His staff is friendly and very professional.

In 2006 I had a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery after breast cancer diagnosis while living in norther California. As time went on and after our move to Kauai I noticed that my breasts became more and more encapsulated and painful. After conferring with my primary care doctor, she recommended that I make an appoint to consult with Dr. Cho on Oahu. So, I made an appointment and saw Dr. Cho shortly after. Firstly, I was very impressed by the professionalism, kindness and caring environment I experienced when I walked into his office and was met by sincere and polite staff. Even though I was anxious about this appointment the professionalism and caring I felt eased my nervousness. I was very apprehensive about having surgery again especially after having so many surgeries and procedures I had with breast cancer treatment. Once I met Dr. Cho I knew I was in good hands. He listened to my concerns, answered my questions, made intelligent and logical recommendations. He was interested in the best possible outcome for me and honest with what would be expected pre and post surgically. I appreciated his directness and professionalism. It was a big deal to leave my little island of Kauai and fly to Oahu for the reconstruction surgery however the office staff and nurses were very accommodating and supportive. Thank you, Lorna, and Tesse for making me feel welcome and well cared for! Now, that I have completed reconstructive surgery I am so grateful to Dr. Cho. My surgery went well, better than I expected. I feel whole again to the point that now I am not covering myself up with billowing blouses to hide my chest anymore. I am now wearing short sleeves and well-fitting tops. I feel like a woman again. Mahalo nui loa!

I would strongly recommend Dr. Cho and his staff. I am extremely satisfied for the following reasons: The carpel tunnel surgery performed on both my hands are successful: The pain is gone! And I am no longer awaken at night because of it. I have also regained grip strength in both hands. The staff is very professional. They are also very kind and caring. I felt they went above and beyond to ensure my comfort during the procedure. Mahalo nui Dr. Cho for improving my quality of life!

By the time I had my consultation with Dr. David Cho of Straub Plastic Surgery, I was on a wound vac for about six weeks. Consultation with Dr. Cho was for a skin graft procedure. After examining the wound, he concluded that the procedure was not a viable option due to the wound’s depth and size. This meant the possibility of having the wound vac attached to me for an additional eight weeks! Seeing my facial expression, or lack thereof, he continued to exam the wound. Eventually, he proposed the yin-yang flap procedure. Initially this procedure was not an option; because it is a HIP wound, movement may impede the healing process, e.g., cause an infection and/or separation of incision. After explaining the pros and cons - mostly the cons - we decided to proceed with the procedure. Although Dr. Cho has done several skin flap procedures, I understand that this was his first HIP yin-yang flap. Monday, 10/23/17, was my one-month post-op exam…Dr. Cho said that I am healing well and that I can resume my daily activities, which includes walking and working out at the YMCA! This was the BESTEST news that I got since this ordeal began on 07/06/17, the day I had my right hip replaced. Since that date, I had three additional surgeries (by another physician to address a hematoma that developed on the site, an infection (due to the pseudomonas bacteria) that also developed on the site, and lastly, a yin-yang flap procedure to close the wound due to the infection). Dr. Cho is very upfront and he tells-it-like-it-is, i.e., limit activities and movement or healing may take longer or worse (back on the wound vac for eight more weeks). I like his type. I am extremely grateful and thankful that he proposed and executed successfully the yin-yang flap procedure. Oh, and let’s not forget his staff: nurses, Lorna and Tessie, are supportive, encouraging, and calming - both answered all of my tedious questions; and office staff, Nina and Charlene, who are patient, considerate, and respectful.

Dr. Cho reconstructed my daughter’s cleft lip that was wider than normal, which made her nose collapse. He did a wonderful job making her nose symmetrical and making her lip so natural looking. 100% recommending Dr. Cho!
