May-2024
DR. CHIN , WAS VERY INFORMATIVE TO ME. HE POINTED OUT ALL THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS I HAD FOR YEARS AS TO WHAT MY PROBLEM IS. AND HOW HE WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. HE MADE ME FEEL BETTER EMOTIONALLY , LIKE A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
May-2024
Dr Chin does not come off as a warm & caring provider. Telling it like it is with a highly matter of fact delivery technique is fine. But, at the end of the day, as a physician, you are always going to be working with another human being who has whatever thoughts & feelings they have about their situation.
If the patient interaction comes off as harried and uncaring, you are just not going to connect with your patients on a human level.
Certainly, running 45 minutes behind schedule, everyone get that the doctor is busy (and important) but it is not the patient's issue that the doctor is running so far behind. It's up to the doctor to rescue the situation that the faulty scheduling created - and not to just compound it by trying to blow in and out of the visit in a machine-like manner!
Conversely, just keep operating the same way and get mediocre reviews...

I saw Dr. Chin this morning, after he put an I.M. nail in my femur over 2 weeks ago due to a fall. He had no answers about what I can expect with pain decreasing, when I can walk without aid, ect. He just said I can shower & drive the next day. He also said some people live with a walker all their lives. Huh? My husband was there, & we both thought why didn't Dr. Chin do a hip replacement? Full recovery with this, as I've had one. Unfortunately, I go back for follow-up with him in 2 months.
