Doctor Shin was very informative and he gave me options which none of the other doctors did previously. I will be seeing him again.
Verified patient
Very thorough. First time visit so they immediately took x-rays on-site. PA went through most of the diagnosis, and finally the doctor came in to confirm the diagnosis, give me recommendations and explain prescriptions. Very courteous staff. I only wish they would have been a bit faster but overall it was a very good visit.
