Patient Reviews
Nov 19, 2019
Dr. Chin is an excellent surgeon and very knowledgeable. You must be prepared with a list of questions as he is not prone to explain things in detail. When asked he does explain, however, that might not be enough so you must be ready to ask follow-up questions. He does not try to take short cuts and makes recommendations based on what is best for the patient. Have patience with him and you will be served well.
