His clinical interests include aortic disease and coronary artery disease with an interest in minimally invasive procedures for aortic pathology and heart valve disease.

I would like to Thank Dr. Chiu for the care and professionalism he showed during our visit.He provided a very clear and thorough explanation of my mother’s condition, a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm, and made sure we understood the current status and next steps. He reassured us that surgery is not needed at this time and established a careful monitoring plan with CT scans every 3 months.What stood out most was his knowledge, patience, and ability to make a complex condition easy to understand. We felt heard, supported, and confident in the care plan moving forward.We truly appreciate his professionalism and the reassurance he provided during a stressful time.

Kind, patient, informed, current, excellent skills. Has beautiful hands, head and heart: the trifecta for the perfect clinician. I owe him my life. I've been a clinician myself for over 40 years: he's the happy future of his profession.
