I heard my surgeon was not good with his bedside manner. I knew that was fine because he was probably more focused on my surgery than holding my hand. rnrnMy first meeting went well. His bedside manner was professional, informative and honest. rnrnThe office staff was awesome. The surgery went well. I was very impressed with the small clean scar. Beautiful.rnrnThe hospital nursing staff was terrible - thank God I'm low maintenance and independent! The lady I roomed with had a hard time adjusting. She had problems all day long. I'm sure it had to do with her not following her surgeons 'rules.' rnrnI could have used follow-up phone calls. They offered support groups in the area but I live outside the area and in another county and it was difficult to travel to a group because of time and traffic.
He is a wonderful doctor! Answers all of the questions that you have, and comes and visits you in the hospital! I am so glad that he was my surgeon!!!
I was very happy with Dr. Chin. He was very nice and anwsered anything I asked. i came in with a major list and I was told to read every single one of my questions with no problems. He came and saw me after the surgery and he was very kind. I would recommend him withno hesitations at all...
Dr Chin has been great. He was bright and cheery at 6am. He came and saw me after the surgery to tell me everything went great. He did a great job!
dr. chin was great from beginning to end and beyond. every single thing about the surgery was professional and thorough. he was extremely nice, made me feel comfortable, answered all of my questions, addressed all of my concerns, even personally called me to follow up after surgery and see how i was doing. i highly recommend dr. chin.rnrni heard about lite dimensions in fountain valley through a friend and am so happy i had the surgery there. my mom and a friend of mine had it in two different places in the los angeles area and neither place offered the same care, support, or information. i definitely felt very educated and ready going into the surgery.rnrni really don't have any complaints about the experience. they did do more extensive testing than any other place, but i thought that was a positive rather than a negative. oh, the only thing that was silly was the really, really long psychiatric evaluation everyone had to fill out. rn
Dr Chin is the greatest. From day one he was patient and concerned that he answered all of the questions I had. I am more impressed with him each time I see him. Being in pratice with Dr LePort and the knowledge the two of them have relieved any worry I had. rnWhen you call the office with a question or concern, if I had to wait for a call back the longest wait I ever experienced was 10 minutes. I called my sons pediatricians office two days ago to speak with the nurse or doctor and have yet to receive a return call. rnEverybody has fears of the \"what after,\" you are given a initial \"strict diet guideline.\" Then a suggested guideline to follow to teach yourself how and what to eat. rnThe risks of suregery are explained and you are required to attend a pre surgery orientation that explains every thing. I would have to give Dr Chin and his entire office, on a scale of 1-10, an 11.
He answered all my questions. I brought a list of them so there were quite a few. He seemed very nice and professional. His office staff were very nice. My only gripe was that I was told to be at the hospital at 6am, which I was, only to find out that the surgery was schedualed at 11:30am. The hospital staff explained that this was in case one of Dr Chin's earlier patients chickened out, I would be waiting in the wings. Sitting for five hours in a hospital waiting room with nothing in my stomach but a lot of butterflies wasn't fun.rnI think Dr Chin did an excellant job and would highly recommend him. My six little laproscopic cuts healed very quickly.
Dr. Chin is a wonderful doctor. The office staff is great, The PA's are amazing they call back right away when you have a medical isssue/question.
Dr Chin is all business... Not the warm fuzzy type to hold your hand and walk you through the whole process.. Lite dimensions however has folks to to do that,whenever you need them the pa's are awesome and brandi in scheduling is super nice as well.. Dr Chin is an excellent surgeon.. I had no complications and my incisions look great. Any questions I had were promptly answered by Dr Chin before surgery and in consult. Oh and PS the stats that OH has on him are INCORRECT!! I asked! he said hes done waaaaaay more than what it says something like over a thousand rnys with 2/3 being lap. I definitely would recommend him to any of my friends.. and btw I did My friend Erin is having surgery with him the beginning of December!
