Very personal and friendly staff Dr. Chin made sure that I was calm and that all of my questions where answered. He explained what was going on with my hand and the the things he wanted me to try first before there was any discussion of a need for surgery. I need to come back and see him and that has all been on my end of not following through. I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of this area of expertise.

Highly recommend Dr Chin. His surgery skills are excellent; there was zero scarring where he removed a mole. I was concerned about scarring as the surgery was on my face. He listened to my concerns with sincerity, and took extra care in stitching me up. A year later, still evidence of a scar. Outstanding job.

Dr. Chin dud a fantastic job on my hand. He was extremely courteous with me, and I am difficult, and I am so happy I saw him. I had two office visits for injections and one virtual where he gave me great hand and arm exercises and things not to do that have really given me back some use of an otherwise dead hand.it

Dr Chin has treated both of my hands successfully. He gets right to the problem and has been very kind and thorough. The office staff is fabulous. I have recommended him to a Workman's Comp patient I know who has less success. I highly recommend his expertise
