Stephen Chinn, Md's Online Review Report Card

Seriously, never go to this doctor! He is incredibly arrogant, condescending, and rude--I've never seen a doctor so belittling. He thinks he knows everything and therefore misses or misdiagnoses issues--my parent, who was his patient, has had to go to the emergency room not once but twice because Dr. Chinn has refused to believe anything was wrong (something was wrong both times). If you are referred to this doctor, don't even bother going--just ask your PCP for another referral right away. I wish we'd done that sooner!

This has nothing to do with Stephen's quality of care (apologies for not addressing him at "doctor" because he doesn't deserve that respect from me at this time). He called me, my significant others emergency contact, in attempts to confirm his appointment the next day. I've worked in healthcare, so I understand the reasoning. What I don't understand is why "Dr. Chinn" called me in an attempt to threaten my significant other to attend tomorrow's appointment, which was already confirmed. The unwarranted and absolutely unprofessional threats included accusations of me not being able to reproduce if he does not attend tomorrow's appointment. The "doctor" has never evaluated, treated, or met this patient before. The false claims of "concern" or "care" on behalf of "doctor" are fraudulent. His patient-facing skills are nonexistent, he's borderline narcissistic by the way he attempted to explain his reasoning when my fiancé called his office to ask for an explanation as to his approach. Make your own decisions. Develop your own opinions. This was just my experience as a non-patient who merely had a brush with this "doctor" who carries absolutely no Aloha.

Dr Chinn was scheduled to do a kidney biopsy on my mom. He is the most rude and arrogant person! He yelled at my dad in my mom's hospital room, with my mom right there because he said that Straub didn't have current contact information and he had a hard time reaching us, when other nurses and doctors have been contacting me with the information they had on file. He must have been looking at the wrong patient information or he needs to get bifocals. His bedside manner is terrible! He told me that he couldn't do my mom's biopsy, because "she would have to lie on her stomach for the procedure and if she did that, she would die". What kinda of doctor says that in that way...He shouldn't be practicing medicine anymore. He acts like he is GOD. He forgot that being a doctor, the most important thing is his patients. Without patients he is nothing.

Had to stone removed by this guy. His bedside manners terrible. Told me to remove the stent on my own. Steer clear this guy

He ruined surgery!!!

Had a lithotripsy done and a phone follow up after 7 days. I was told by Dr. Chin over the phone that he placed a stent and for me to get a compact mirror to look below and remove stent by pulling on the white string. I couldn’t find the string and went to ER on Maui who also didn’t find a string and urologist on staff recommended going in with a scope. I refused and waited for Dr chin to call me back and the response “I’m sorry but I didn’t put a stent in”. Very unprofessional

I will never recommend this doctor to anyone He shouldn’t be a doctor and his staff gives the wrong information for everything from after care to follow up appointments and the wrong building to go to. Shame on his family. He doesn’t deserve any stars

Stephen has been my Urologist for over ten years and has performed four ESWL to remove Kidney stones and a TURP to reduce an enlarged prostate. Definitely “Old School” with a bedside manner that is an acquired taste but an excellent surgeon.

His knowledge is limited in scope! His equipment is outdated! His arrogance and rude bedside manner is outrageous! He treated my husband in the emergency room and subsequently after only to tell us to start his bucket list. He literally gave a date of expected death. His treatment was wrongly implemented, poorly diagnosed and did more damage than good. If you value your life cancel with this chop shop and book a flight to the mainland. There are skilled practitioners available. Husband is thriving years after he was told he was going to die.

This doctor ruined my husband surgery!!! Very manipulative and bad bedside manners!!! Find another urologist, do not get surgery with this crooked doctor!
