We saw the doctor for my daughter About 2 years and he is very professional and knowledgeable. We tried different doctors prior that and didn’t get good results.

My son has been a patient of Dr. Harvey Chiu for the past 4 1/2 years. We switched to him after having an experience elsewhere that left us frustrated and feeling like we had no options. Dr. Chiu has been amazing with our son. He is extremely thorough and thoughtful about everything he does including his treatment plans. He takes a lot of time to meet with you and only has the best interest of your child at all times. He listens to your concerns and spends the time you need with him to answer them. We have had nothing but the best care from him. My son is doing so well now with his treatments and that's thanks to Dr. Chiu. I highly recommend him!

My daughter has been a patient of Dr Chiu for the past two years. We have had nothing but the best care from him. I trust his expertise and knowledge when it comes to my daughter. He's extremely precise, and is very conservative. Dr. Chiu is a very nice person, that only wants the best for each patients. When you meet him, you will find yourself in the hands of an amazing Brilliant Doctor!

Dr. Harvey Chiu is devoid of any emotional intellect. Please don’t be fooled by his pleasant demeanor. He is unacquainted with what is, and is not, appropriate to say to a child. He may have a medical degree. He may even have great surgical acumen (I don't know), but he lacks the social skills and emotional intellect that are necessary for a clinician. Dr. Harvey Chiu belongs in a lab away from children. At the very least he needs a social skills course to learn to read cues from others. Most importantly, Dr. Harvey Chiu lacks common sense. Scientific intellect and surgical skill are nullified by a lack of common sense. If I can’t trust his judgement in a conversation, how am I to trust his judgement when he makes a surgical or treatment decision?
