Disclaimer: the following comments are from a real patient. I have no personal, family, or professional relationship to Dr. Chin or his staff. I paid full price for my surgery. No incentives for this feedback were offered or received. Because I have had numerous encounters with Dr. Chin, for both my surgery and for those of my family member, my knowledge and understanding of how Dr. Chin practices probably exceeds the experiences of a typical patient.
My family and I have had several plastic surgery procedures by Dr. Chin. Each experience was beyond excellent, with results better than expected. The numerous compliments you will receive from your friends, family, and others after your surgery only adds to your personal satisfaction.
Dr. Chin is not only an expert and highly experienced board certified plastic surgeon, he also is very kind, friendly, and sincere. Dr. Chin explains his recommendations and alternatives to surgery very carefully so you can make a well-informed decision to proceed or not.
Dr. Chin also advocates maintaining healthy living habits, appropriate weight, regular exercise, stress management, and a positive mental attitude.
During the initial consultation Dr. Chin uses high quality panoramic 3-D photography to demonstrate and project what results are possible with surgery. If he feels some weight loss is necessary to optimize your results please take his advice so you will have the best results possible.
Dr. Chin maintains his own hospital-grade operating room (O.R.) within his surgery center. This makes it extra convenient to schedule your surgery. Dr. Chin's O.R. is accredited by AAAHC, a national organization that certifies that his O.R. meets or exceeds national standards so you know you are receiving treatment in modern and safe facility. He uses highly qualified anesthetists to ensure your anesthesia is safe and effective. If there is ever a power outage due to PG&E during surgery, Dr. Chin's surgery center is equipped with a generator back-up energy supply so your operation will not be compromised.
Dr. Chin's staff are the BEST! They are very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. They make you feel welcome and invite you to ask questions so you are reassured and feel relaxed and comfortable. His staff also assist in surgery so they are very familiar with your procedure and in providing post-op care.
Dr. Chin's staff include Martha (always friendly and helpful) who handles scheduling and front desk matters.
Diane is the office manager and can handle any administration question you have. Excellent clinical care is provided by Ali, the PA; Tina, Brandie, and Tiffany are OR techs/MA's who assist in surgery and in pre and post-op care. Sarah is an RN who assists in surgery and in the recovery room. She is very experienced and professional.
Cost. I think Dr. Chin's fees represent good value as our results are excellent. Keep in mind that you are paying once, but your results continue year after year. I think of the surgery as "the gift that keeps on giving"!
Would I return to Dr. Chin for any future plastic surgery, absolutely!
Dr. Chin is an amazing, outstanding, and very talented plastic surgeon. He is very honest when it comes to getting plastic surgery he tells you what you can expect and tells you if he can or cannot do your surgery and if you’re the right candidate or not he does not give you the run around. He is very meticulous and I like that because there are not many plastic surgeons like that around. He makes you feel very comfortable at ease and not feel rushed and he takes his time during your consult to go over all of your concerns. Even right before your surgery Dr. Chin goes over everything he’s doing in detail. The anesthesiologists also goes over everything he’s going to do in detail and what to expect after and if you have any questions or concerns you feel at ease asking.
Dr. Chin is also ALWAYS concerned for his patients. He calls patients post-op the same day either in the evening or night to see if you are doing ok and feeling ok after surgery and if the medications are helping you with the pain. I’m very happy to say I had plastic surgery by Dr. Chin and would do it all over again because he did an amazing job with his skills.
All of his staff are very pleasant, friendly, kind, courteous, respectful and are always calm and collective never rude. When it comes to scheduling an appointment at his office either for a follow up post-op or consult appointment his front desk receptionist Martha is very helpful in getting you an appointment to work with your schedule. Scheduling an appointment has never been a problem for me. His office lobby area is always very clean and organized.
Dr. Chin is the best plastic surgeon in town. I have had several consults by other plastic surgeons before choosing Dr. Chin and I’m very glad I chose him. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Chin to anyone wanting to get plastic surgery. I’m one very satisfied patient. Thank you Dr. Chin your staff, and the anesthesiologist for all your dedication to your patients care. Thank you!
