Chelsea Ching Endow, MD - Internal Medicine Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dr Chelsea has been an awesome Dr for both my husband and I. She has been very caring, loving and kind. EVERYTHING anyone would for in a great Dr. She has personally saved my life 2xs just because she listened to what I had to say. I will miss her because she will be moving to the VA. THANK YOU DR CHELSEA, FOR EVERYTHING! WE WILL TRULY MISS YOU! LOVE YOU ALWAYS! read more

Dr Chelsea is literally a life saver. She saw in my X-ray for my lungs that I had an aneurysm in the background. I could barely see it but Dr Chelsea eagle eye caught it and directed me to head straight to the hospital. She is awesome and very caring. I owe her my life. read more

Lol.. After I posted this review, I went to read it & didn't realize I'd already posted a review. This is what happens when you get older. Apparently I wrote something very similar:) I didn't look to see when I posted the other but apparently I still feel the same way. In my 53 years, Dr Chelsea is hand down my favorite PCP. Part of me didn't want to write this review because I selfishly did not want to share her with more people but my friend so generously shared her with me so I felt I should pay that forward. She was highly recommended (an understatement) by a good friend. Upon meeting Dr Chelsea, I immediately understood why. From your very first appointment, she makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. She genuinely cares about you as a person and your life outside of whatever issue brought you in. Thinking about it, it makes such sense because everything you do from dating, marriage, and friends to what you're passionate about and love to do for fun all contributes to the state of your health. It now seems strange to me why all my other doctors only addressed my physical exam or whatever ailment brought me into the office. On top of this, she is smart, extremely knowledgeable, and will explain anything you want to know. And you will never feel rushed. I've recommended Dr Chelsea to so many of my friends and I simply can't say enough wonderful things about her. Lastly, the building and office are not fancy. In fact they're the most basic I've ever been to, but don't be fooled. Just like people, it's what's on the inside the counts:) I'll take a basic building and an incredible dr over an incredible building and a basic dr anyday! You can stop reading at this point but I did want to address a couple of the negative reviews. If you notice, they are not about Dr Chelsea, they are about the front desk staff, and I can't exactly say they're wrong. In person they've been amazing & friendly. When you call in, they are swamped, you may be on hold for a little bit, and they may sound like they've had a difficult day. This may happen a little more often than not, but as far as your actual doctor and healthcare, Dr Chelsea's attention, knowledge and quality of care are 100x worth it. One reviewer said she didn't get the results. I'm not doubting her, but when I've had my mammograms, colonoscopy and any other tests outside of the office, Dr Chelsea has always called to check up, ask me how it went, and to see if there's anything I need. The first time this happened was in the evening well after any dr's hours. I was surprised and so touched that on her time off she thought to call and check in on me. If your doctor does that, stay with them, but I haven't found many drs with that level of care. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Chelsea for about 15 years. She was always a great doctor when I would see her for annuals and minor illnesses. After my life threatening injuries and medical induced coma, HER CARE HELPED SAVE ME.. and my family too. So detailed, addressing all my injuries/concerns and SO REAL, I love that she will tell it for what it is! She really took care of me, psychologically and physically. She's so busy with the volume of patients, I do believe she may need more staffing to help address all patient needs/concerns in a timely manner (phone messages, etc).. *tip - if you live near her office, just walk in and schedule an appointment at the desk, I've left several messages on different occasions with no call backs. read more

She's awesome. The parking kind of sucks and they are super busy, but she is a great doctor.

If want a doctor just to get by then it's ok. She was feeding me antidepressants that was driving me crazy. Phone system is horrid. I did follow ups just to follow up again. Like a 4 month process for 1 problem. read more

Just saw Dr. Chelsea a few days ago the first time in 3 years and she reminded me of how great of a doctor she is. She checks all the boxes for me: - Knowledgeable (I do my own research before I see her) - Excellent listener and communicator (gives it to me straight) - Pragmatic and practical - Fantastic bed-side manner (personable, compassionate) - Low stress experience (never feel rushed or pressured) The medical service partners (lab and pharmacy right there), system (receptionist, assistants) and parking set-up they have in place makes everything a breeze. I was in and out of there quickly. Her office has a new text-based prescription notification system that made the entire prescription process so easy. Would highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Chelsea Ching-Endow is one of a kind. She is very pasionate about her trade, and to help her patients get to a better point. Her bed side manner is one of the best; being able to tell you straight forward but in a kind and caring way. Her follow ups are always prompt and done by herself. I give her so much credit. Mahalo nui-loa, Dr. Ching-Endow. You have found your passion, and it definitely shows. read more

I can't stand it anymore. the busy waiting room, limited parking always get full and the staff is Not friendly at all. The girls in the back are straight up rude. I try to be nice and friendly despite there attitude. All they seem to do is roll there eyes and stare at me the whole time like they have nothing else to do. Dr. Ching-Endow is wonderful and kind. Its sad that her staff that represents her is LOUSY. Happy Im Changing Doctors. 2 stars for Dr. Ching-Endow, -3 for Staff, Front desk, Parking and waiting room. read more

Dr. Ching-Endow is awesome. I have been seeing her for a few years now. She seems pretty genuine and kind which is exactly what you need when sick. Giving two stars only for the two receptionists that check patients in. One receptionist is completely rude. Always making passive aggressive comments. Maybe it's her sense of humor, but it's not something you want to hear when you're sick and need to see the doctor. The other receptionist seems to have no urgency. I had a condition where I wasn't dying and had already been to urgent care but was still miserable. I wanted to see if I could get a different course of treatment or get a referral to a specialist. She kept telling me, "I'm instructed to tell you to go to urgent care." I was frustrated because I know that there are always other doctors to cover. The receptionist never gave me an option to see another doctor. Long story short I ended up calling 4x and spoke to 2 different people people then finally got an appointment. Once I got to the office everything was fast and the doctor I saw was amazing. I was confused as to why it was so difficult to get an appointment. Anyways, great doctor but come with patience because the receptionists are something else. read more

Dr. Chelsea Ching-Endow is amazing. She has been my primary care doctor for about a decade. Dr. Ching-Endow knows her stuff. She is very thorough and scientific about her approaches. It seems that she does medicine not for money or prestige but to serve the community tirelessly as there is so much need for primary care doctors on the island (and really everywhere). She takes her time with each patient and I feel like she really cares about me as a person. She is amazing and should get a medal for the many, many patients she helps and all that she has been through to contribute her expertise to society. She talks straight in ways that help you make the changes you need to make to improve your health and your life, because she believes in you. I'm so grateful for her. Thank you, Dr. Chelsea Ching-Endow! read more

Honolulu is very lucky & blessed to have Dr. Chelsea Ching-Endow as an internist. She is the most caring, compassionate, and skilled doctor around! Dr. Chelsea is always very thorough and takes the time to listen to my concerns! If you are looking for an excellent internist I would highly recommend Dr. Chelsea!!! I wish there were more than 5 stars to click on! read more

I did not make it in to see the doctor. I understand that people have bad days, but I also understand that those people can break your business with their poison and should not be answering your phones or running your office. I called, hoping to get an appointment to see Dr. Ching-Endow after reading all of these awesome reviews about her and her office. I was surprised at what answered the phone. A rude woman who divulged too much information and had no empathy in her voice whatsoever. Honestly, I'm a patient. I don't need to know how your office functions. Also, I DON'T CARE how your office functions, or who's sick/on vacation/what's happening in your life/what your favorite color is. What I need to know is if you're going to service me or not, and I expect a little courtesy and respect when telling me. Thanks. read more

Dr. Chelsea is amazing! She is compassionate, caring and takes the time to talk with you. It makes me sad that she's rated based on the front office - because she is one of the best medical professionals I've met. She genuinely cares about the well-being of her patients. Without getting too much into my personals... she listens, is concerned with my well-being/stress/happiness/family... makes sure that I am healthy because she knows I have a family to take care - just like she does (she has two young kiddos as well). She has impeccable bed-side manners and is honest... I trust her wholeheartedly and know she has my best interests in mind. I can't imagine having another Dr. And I am so happy that she is around my age - so she will be working a while and I won't have to worry about her retiring and me having to find another Dr. *sorry if that sounds selfish - it's just how much I adore her. read more

DR. Chelsea Ching-Endow is awesome! She clearly loves what she does and is extremely thorough and genuine. I've never had a problem with the front office in regards to information or booking an appointment. The few times I had to change or cancel an appointment, they were very nice and understanding even though I know its super inconvenient for them. Every time I see Ching-Endow she always greets me with a smile and asks how I'm doing. She always has an answer for me no matter how ridiculous my questions can be. It was awesome when she personally called me for a fallow up on some of my tests reassuring me everything was okay and providing me with more information. I am so happy to be a patient of hers. read more

Very busy place and small waiting area. It don't matter if you have an appointment but they do their best to service you once they have you in the rooms. I really like how they are not prejudiced with people. They take all types of people, weather you have insurance or not, on welfare, on drugs or homeless. You see them all there. I also like the way they take care of their elders. I felt safe that my mother would be taken cared of really well by Dr. Chelsea Ching-Endo. She calls my mother "mom" and tells her she loves her. Most of the other doctors or specialists they refer you to is in the building which is very convenient. Free parking but small area. read more

Outstanding Excellence! I am Speechless. Many doctors I have visited. This person's effort goes far above and beyond. read more

Chelsea Ching Endow, MD - Aloha - Internal Medicine Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

"Wow you do have something wrong with you," said Marsha. I been tolerating her condescending tone for years. Today, I couldn't believe that I was questioned by Marsha about the length of time I needed off from work(mind you..dr. Chelsea already filled out the paperwork) and about a statement in my disability letter that I had every right to feel concerned about. But she insisted it was right because Marsha couldn't just say, "OK, you might have to wait a while because Dr. Chelsea is out for lunch." Instead I got,"Well she wrote it herself so it is probably correct." She has no authority to correct my concerns about something that could potentially affect my livelihood. To my surprise I stayed calm but she kept on justifying the statement in the letter when it clearly did not make sense. After explaining my concern in depth, in her condescending tone Marsha says, "Well you didn't have to tell me all of that." Well...you are questioned my concern so I felt I had to explain myself. Then when I was ready to walk away and just take the letter...she didn't want to give it back... Given the situation I felt I had every right to feel upset and I felt hurt and disrespected that someone who works at a doctor's office would stoop so low to use a person's mental health in a situation where I clearly had every right to feel upset. For years my husband has complained about how she talks to people, and that day, another man approached me and told me that she always has power trips. Yes, I know...her condescending tone and power trips are normal and I hesitate to call or approach the desk every time she is there. I would give 1 star if I didn't love Dr. Chelsea so much. read more

I had a PAP and never got any notification regarding the results. When I called to get the results the office staff were not helpful and acted like my wanting the PAP results was an unreasonable request. I had to go to the office and request my medical records in writing to get my PAP results. Not the way I want to be treated by my PCP. read more

Super nice and friendly! I needed an internal med doctor since I moved home from college. I got sick, and was sick for several weeks, and figured I needed something stronger than just the over the counter meds. When I called, it was a holiday, and she was open. They were able to take me within an hour. My bf came with me cause he was sick as well. They let him come into the room with me and Dr. Chelsea was completely fine with it. When she was done examining me, and prescribed me medicine (which was from her office so I didn't have to stop at a pharmacy), my bf asked if he could be checked out too, since he was the one who got me sick. She was more than happy to and gave him medicine as well. My bf returned a few months later because he got sick again, and she had asked him if he got me sick as well. He didn't, so she told him he better not get me sick! The back office staff is really nice. I went back for a TB test, and they were all friendly. I know a lot of them are students but they were all nice. I wowed them with my tattoo, and they remembered me when I returned to have my TB test read. The front staff could be friendlier. When I call to make an appointment they're not very helpful and talk to you like you should know when their office hours are or when they take lunch. When my bf and I left the first time, he gave her a hug...yes, the sick boy gave the pregnant doctor a hug! He said she looked like she wanted a hug. But he said when he went back the second time he got sick, she gave him a hug. Pretty funny. read more

Chelsea is very nice and spends as much time as she can with you given that she has to see something like 40 patients a day (judging from the waiting room). The bad is that it is almost impossible to get through to the staff to make an appointment, get documentation, refill a prescription etc. You will wait 24 hours for someone to get back in touch with you. Understaffed I would say, or else they are just not bothered about helping you in a timely fashion. I've left requests for prescription refills that never get done or responded to. read more

Hepatitis A is scarey stuff. Doctors offices are crazy busy. Shout out to the Clinic Assistants as they get us in and out. Great job to these hidden gems! read more

I never ever want to see another doctor other than Dr. Chelsea. My wife and I are under her care and we both feel the same. Dr. Chelsea is a very special person and the service from the the front office to the back is excellent. You will not find a more caring and compassionate physician than Dr. Chelsea. That in itself is worth it's weight in gold. Thank you Dr. Chelsea and staff for everything you do. read more

I have been fortunate to have Dr. Chelsea for the past 8+ years. She always takes the time to listen to what is going on with you and tries to determine the best solution. She truly cares about you and your health. The front desk has been extremely helpful and always helping make changes for my schedule. I love that they have labs, x-rays, ultrasound, etc in the building. Dr. Chelsea takes the time to personally call you with your lab results. I love her top notch customer service and incredible bedside manners. read more

Dr Chelsea, as I've called her, is personal, direct and professional. She's quick to diagnose and deliver results. I just wish she had her own office and staff, as she deserves it! She has treated me many times, and written letters on my behalf, not to mention follow up calls. I'm very sad to say my new health coverage does not list her as a provider : (, so if you can get past the reviews about the appts and office staff (not all bad) please see her for what ails you. read more

Dr Chelsea is one if the most caring, honest, amazing, empathetic, knowledgable doctors I know. She is compassionate and above all, loves what she is doing!!! I have been seeing her for almost 10 years and now that my daughter has turned 18 and is an adult - she sees her as well. I work in the medical field, I know doctors, I know doctors who care, and I know doctors who go to work to just collect a paycheck and make a living- Dr Chelsea IS VERY DIFFERENT! She cares, she goes to work daily with passion and a true love for helping care for people. She's awesome at what she does- I know first hand that she knows what she's doing! Dr Chelsea would do anything to make her patients comfortable and feel well/ better! If you ever get the privilege for her to be your doctor, be happy cuz she has a huge practice and rarely now accepts new patients. She's a busy doctor and mother! Kudos to you Dr Chelsea!! You are truly one in a million! read more

I worried when I walked into the lobby of the busy clinic because it was a bit more worn and tattered than I expected but as soon as my exam began, talking to Dr. Ching Endow immediately blew away any uneasiness I had. She is super smart and yet she has a very quiet and gentle way about how she treats you as a person. She very unassuming (unlike a few elitist doctors I know) and looks out for you as a patient rather than looking at profiting as a doctor. She found specialists for me to see that same day and took care of all lab tests/imaging for me by the next business day. Personally, she's what I imagine a good mother or an ideal sister to be like. I have already recommended her to my own family and several friends, and one of my family members will be seeing Dr. Ching Endow next month. read more
