The surgery could not have gone better and a month and a half post op I am doing great and making great progress. One of the things I've liked the most is how watchful they are post-surgery. I have regular follow ups with Dr. Chin and his staff and his practice also has a large and fairly extensive network of support options to help you as the process is more than surgery.

The very first time I went to Dr. Chin I felt so comfortable with him. I had my surgery on Feb 21 and I'm feeling so much better its the best thing I ever did. Dr. Chin has a wonderful bedside manner even after surgery he called my daughter to tell her everything went well and she said mom he was so nice. He listens to you when you talk, he explains everything to you step by step. He's the best!!!!
