Ben H. Chew, MD, MSc, FRCSC
Associate Professor of Urology
University of British Columbia
Ben Chew, MD, MSc, FRCSC, specializes in the surgical and medical treatment of kidney stone disease. Originally from Vancouver Island, he graduated from UBC Medicine in 1998 and completed his urology residency at the University of Toronto in 2003. His fellowship focused on kidney stones and minimally invasive surgery at the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Chew’s research focuses on how kidney stones form and in particular how we absorb certain compounds and minerals through the intestinal tract. By altering how we absorb compounds, his research hopes to be able to change a patient’s risk factors for developing more stones.
