I delivered my first baby with Dr chin. He was very human, very honest, no BS. Very direct, and super confident. Entertaining and funny and friendly and efficient. He instilled confidence and warmth in me. My man and I felt 100% comfortable with him even as he is a man. The office was on point. Every call was answered by a human. Every day provided an opportunity for questions to be asked and answered by phone. When delivery time came, we had to do an emergency c section and I was taken care of by the most outstanding team. My hand was held, everything was explained, I was asked if I have a playlist I'd like to listen to and that made such an incredible difference. My child had a birth complication (was not the docs fault).. and Dr chin was in my recovery room first thing every morning, providing the information we needed. My baby girl is now almost 3 years old and she's perfect, smart, amazing, healthy and strong with no issues . We are so grateful, proud and fortunate , and very happy to have found Dr Anthony Chin and his incredible staff. read more

Dr. Chinn delivered 2 of my children. My wife and I have had an exceptional experience under Dr. Chin. His attention to detail and comprehensive processes with the first baby led us to return for the second. We always were seen promptly and always had a great experience in the office. While my wife is pregnant with our third, we wish Dr. Chin was still available to handle prenatal care and deliver our next baby. read more

Anthony Chin, MD, FACOG - Melody - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me

See all

Horrible experience with this doctor. Terrible bedside manner. Made a difficult experience much more difficult. If he decides to go through a training program for trauma-informed-care, it would definitely benefit his patients going forward. read more

In a town where so many doctors are driven by profit and bottom line, I am grateful to have found Dr. Chin. He's ethical, experienced, and has great bedside manner. He's been my OB for years and has helped me through a surgery among other things. To all the people who are complaining about his office billing the wrong insurance code or having to take time to fix your medical bills, do you realize that a lot of doctors similar to Dr. Chin do not even take insurance in Los Angeles? It's a big lift for these LA private practices to take insurance - so have some patience and work with their admin! For what it's worth, I have been with him for over 5 years and have never paid more than my $15 co-pay for regular visits. I think I paid $120 total for my surgery. I have never had any problems with billing or insurance. Do your work and verify first if you are covered before you go to the doctor lol. The nurses are also wonderful, Letty & Pilar. They have always been nothing but professional and sweet. Most importantly, Dr. Chin is never pushy about treatments and always takes time to answer all my questions. I have recently had trouble finding a good fertility specialist in LA that will take insurance. Or the ones that do, will charge huge hidden fees and bill insane costs to your insurance. It totally changed my perspective on healthcare in CA. So, I, for one, am incredibly grateful to have a knowledgeable GOOD obgyn provider that is empathetic enough to treat not only the extremely wealthy, but also normal patients with insurance. read more

Dr. Chin made my birthing experience a time in my life that I will never forget, it was so amazing. 1. He showed up before me (often doctors won't show up until it's time to push) 2. Super calm. You will never meet a calmer person who will mellow you out when you're at your most stressed. 3. Very knowledgeable. He knew exactly what to do and when to do it. It was literally the high point of my life. I burst into tears when my daughter was born. It was so beautiful and wonderful and totally fulfilling. He will support you in any way and I ALWAYS recommend him to anyone whom I know, or who is my patient. If you want an awesome birthing experience, he's your doctor. read more

My OBGYN retired and Dr. Anthony Chin was at the top of the list for his referrals. I feel like I've gone from one great doctor to another without a break in what could only be described as excellent treatment. Feels like I hit the jackpot! Dr. Chin is smart, savvy, and sympathetic to all your problems, answers all your questions, and is very competent in prescribing great solutions. He's a great listener, and I never felt rushed. Definitely one of the best doctors around. I am recommending him to a friend whose doctor also recently retired, and to my daughter who is now on the hunt for a new gynecologist. Feeling very grateful for being his patient! read more

Basically echoing what seems to be said here, as long as you don't ask too many questions and go along with whatever he wants, you'll get an affable laid back guy. I asked for some clarification on my pap smear results and got an irate bossy monster, when I just wanted to get some questions answered before I subjected myself to a colposcopy. Went elsewhere for a second opinion (thankfully) and don't have to subject myself to this moody guy. This doctor really doesn't have any bedside manner or "healing" qualities to speak of, for me personally. As a first generation immigrant I get the feeling he was forced into medical school and this profession, very uncomfortable person to be dealing with. read more

Dr.Chin was everything I was looking for in a OBGYN. Professional, helpful, and caring. He referred me to a wonderful Doula and let me follow my birth plan. I would recommened him to everyone! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Chin's for nearly four years and have been consistently impressed with and incredibly grateful for his excellent care. He's delivered both of my babies (my youngest was born in July 2019), and they were both born naturally without an epidural. He is fully supportive of natural childbirth, answers your questions straightforwardly and knowledgeably, and always (seriously!) takes the time to answer your questions (of which I usually have 1000000). I have never felt rushed in his office and he calls to give you your test results personally (which I've literally never experienced even with my pediatricians or own PCP!). I could not recommend Dr. Chin more highly! read more

Dr. Chin He delivered my son and my partner's twin girls and we could not have asked for a more caring, straightforward doctor for both of our first experiences with childbirth. Dr. Chin was a referral from a friend who also had a wonderful experience Almost every appointment started on time (except once when he had an emergency delivery, which is to be expected) - I get the feeling that he does not overbook or book too many patients within a small time frame in order to keep things moving smoothly... read more

I guess it all depends on what kind of OBGYN you're looking for. DR. Chin tends to be: --very encouraging of natural birth --Supportive of doulas --supportive of VBAC --a thoughtful doc who actually gives a rats tushie about you and your birth --available when you need him --has great back up who is as supportive and encouraging as he is. --supportive of midwifery care --A hands of approach, low interventions --supportive of longer gestational times --encouraging of birth plans... You get the picture. For me he did a version (successfully no longer breech), and caught baby #2, and is on board for my home birth for baby #3. And he has been the OB for a few of my clients (I'm a doula). I know that with him, he's not going to pull the "dead baby card" when life gets inconvenient, and that he'll support my clients approach to birth. Yeah Chin! chelsea read more

Dr. Chin is a godsend! I switched to him late in my pregnancy (36 weeks) as a referral for a more supportive doc for natural childbirth. He was very respectful of my desired birth experience, learned as much as he could about our style and was thorough. Through the labor birth process, he always kept my wishes in mind. He communicated all of the pros and the cons of each medical choice/potential intervention throughout - without delivering a personal opinion. I felt like he respected our ability to make educated medical decisions - and just gave the facts... And...he has awesome bedside manner. Its a pleasure to chat with him - he's a regular, down to earth guy, with a great sense of humor and easy to talk to. I couldn't ask for a better doctor for deliveries and the pregnancy process. read more

Dr. Chin was my OB for my first pregnancy and after interviewing a few other OBs in the area, we were confident that he was the best for us for the following reasons: 1) He is a really, really smart doctor. When we asked the other OBs questions, they kind of didn't have a really good answer. Dr. Chin was able to intelligently explain complicated medical processes to me in a way that was understandable---and he was able to approach the question from many different angles. We felt confident that if something should go awry during the pregnancy, he'd be able to handle it competently. 2) Like everyone else says, he is super approachable and laid back--and as a first time mom, that translated to me being laid back about the entire pregnancy as well. He's an optimist and was very reassuring to me that everything would be okay. This meant to me that he's not going to push drugs, interventions, or unnecessary procedures on me if I didn't need it. 3) He is passionate about what he does. Translation: He will personally call you about your lab/test results, he stays current on latest OB medicine, and he genuinely cares for your well-being and that of your baby. During my third trimester, I decided to do a homebirth instead of delivering in a hospital. When I brought it up to Dr. Chin, he was really positive about it and agreed to back-up my midwife. He even gave me midwife recommendations. If Dr. Chin could've come to our house to deliver our baby, we certainly would've chosen that as our birth route because of the type of doctor that he is. I'm keeping him as by OB/GYN and would definitely recommend him to anyone who's looking for a good doctor. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: UUUUUGH!!!!! I wish I had never gone to see him! I thought I was done with the extra bills from the UNNECESSARY genetic testing he said our insurance covered 100%-- NOOO! I just got ANOTHER (the 3rd) bill for almost $400. I was like, "OK, whatever. This should be it." Well, not too long after that I get ANOTHER bill from HIM from early in the year. WTH?!? Seriously? I thought I was DOOOONE with him! I wish he had competent billing staff IN his office and not just ONE MA/Nurse/Front Desk person. Greedy! My current doctor actually has DIFFERENT people for all the different departments. Why, why, why did I go see Dr Chin instead of my current one? UGH!!! One of the WORST medical decisions I've ever made! read more

Wow, I am so grateful to have found Dr. Chin on Yelp - and that he accepts my insurance! I am new to the LA area and was overdue for my annual, plus I had some ovarian cysts that needed treatment. I also have some complicated conditions and a chronic illness. I was able to get an appointment quickly and Dr. Chin put me at ease. He's clearly knowledgeable about not just gynecological issues but modern medicine as well... Also the office is super responsive and what other doctor calls you back himself within 24 hours to give you test results? On top of that, if I miss his call, he calls back the next day to make sure I got his message and see if I have any questions. I would recommend him to anyone seeking OB/GYN or even a PCP. read more

I am a birth doula in the South Bay and just 1 week ago I supported a couple through labor/birth at Cedars Sinai Hospital with Dr. Anthony Chin. Wow! There are no words to describe how awesome this doctor is! See, you have to understand, where I live, it is very rare to find a doctor that is so Mama Friendly and is fearless about birth like Dr. Chin. For example, my client was 7 days past her due date and when she went to her doctor's appointment, Dr. Chin checked the wellness and health of client and baby but did not even require a vaginal exam! HELLO!! Many doctors I know would have already done a vaginal exam at 37 weeks of pregnancy (which in my opinion is way too soon and not medically necessary). Not only that, at 7 days post-date he made no mention or try to pressure her for induction! My client was "allowed" to go into labor on her own up until day 14 which is current ACOG standards. Happily, she started labor on day 13 and by day 14 post-date, she experienced a beautiful birth with Dr. Chin by her side! Oh, and another cool thing about Dr. Chin: He let the husband "catch" the baby!! How awesome is that?! Aside from his total Trust and Support of the Natural Process he also is a pretty funny guy! He has one of the best bedside manners I have ever experienced when supporting a client. (I love his partner, Dr. Crane too!) When it was time to push, Dr. Chin came in with a calm attitude and a gentle smile and just sat on her birth ball and waited patiently : - ) I could go on and on but you get my point. Dr. Anthony Chin is HIGHLY recommended in my doula book and I shall refer more clients to him if they will birth at Cedars Sinai. By the way, nurses Christina and Nora were lovely and supportive too. Happy Birthing! Patricia Grube, Certified Doula and Yoga Teacher www.serenitybirth.com read more

I have only ever left positive reviews on Yelp but wanted other women to be WARNED about this office. The cold and aggressive bedside manner was tough to deal with, but what set this office over the edge of "never to return" was the fact that they billed insurance wrong, refused to fix it and were extremely unprofessional/aggressive when questioned. I was demeaned in the office by the office staff, hung up on multiple times, and they never corrected their mistakes and I was left with almost $800 in bills for doctor visits that accomplished nothing. I have never been treated so poorly, which is especially vulnerable when it's by a man in power who is your OBGYN. Dr Chin exemplifies narcissistic/bullying behavior and defends inappropriate staff behavior. I have since found INCREDIBLE doctors in Nashville and OC as I travel back and forth. If you need someone who is amazing, bills appropriately, advocates for her clients rather than then seek out Dr Mary Kotob in Orange County. Worth the drive! She is phenomenal, specializes in surgery and fertility, has empathetic bedside manner, and is brilliant. I have had a total of under $100 for multiple visits, including a surgery removing polyps! I recommend Sr Jean Gray in TN. Stay away from Dr Chins office!! read more

If you are looking for the perfect combination of "natural-minded" and "superb surgical skills"... look no further, Dr Chin is THE BEST. I work in the medical profession and I have seen his work first-hand. He does not need to advertise because of patients' word-of-mouth. He often sees several sisters / cousins in the same families because they rave about him to their relatives. Reasons why Dr Chin is an excellent choice for an OB-GYN: He does not push C-sections. If you want to wait til you go into labor naturally, he's all for it, as long as its medically safe to do so. He's been the Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for the past 4 years. He is knowledgable about the latest surgical techniques and medical procedures. He is very relaxed and mild-mannered. Exactly what you would want during the somewhat stressful process of child birth and labor. His CIRCUMCISION skills are excellent (something that most parents don't think to ask but the skill of the person doing a circumcision can vary widely). He picks up the phone and will answer your calls or call you personally with a test result. He attends his own deliveries almost all the time. He is committed to his patients. read more

Great doctor! Cares about his patients. They do great follow up calls. The staff is very helpful. They seem to value their patients. I was told by my friend to come here since I'm always nervous about my annual OBGYN visits and Dr. Chin made me feel very comfortable. read more

I am a fan of this Dr and the practice. I swear that Dr Chin is in a league of his own. I was skeptical at first but after great recommendations from many other friends I've decided it's time to use him. When I delivered my first baby he was there and was such a great Dr during the birth. I am now on Baby #2 and it's going very well and he's such a calming influence on us! He's very laid back, doesn't use scare tactics, very logical and a very calm OB! And he doesn't talk the Dr lingo. He makes sure you understand what he's talking about and doesn't overwhelm you with terminology. :) read more

Dr Chin has been my OBGYN for 20 years. In 2002, I went into labor 5 and half weeks early. My husband was out of town and I was really scared. Dr. chin was so calm, so respectful, so protective of me and the baby. I wanted as few interventions as possible and he made sure I and my baby were totally safe while not unnecessarily impinged upon. I can't imagine having gone through that experience with any other doctor. I know for sure it would have devolved into a nightmare if not for Dr. Chin. Since then, he's been my go to for well woman checks and gynecological issues. He has always been patient and responsive, caring and has approached my treatment with a collaborative tone, not at all paternalistic. I should have written sooner but I'm doing so now because I was in the office today and it was such a positive experience. His administrator was friendly and delightful. I think maybe she was new - not sure because I haven't been there in a while. My favorite things about Dr Chin are his calm demeanor, the time he takes to explain and answer questions, and that he always personally calls with test results or to follow up. He's a real gem. read more

Took care of my wife throughout her pregnancy. Delivered our baby the day his vacation was supposed to start. Even called during his vacation to check in. Good analysis, and good information so we could make informed choices. Very patient. Respected all of our choices and didn't push us on anything. Always took his time during appts and called us personally about test results and their meanings. One thing we a Really liked was his appts started on time. Nice and professional office staff which is a plus. Would recommend him to a family member or friend. read more

Never went to see the doctor himself, though he came highly recommended by a friend who sees him. The lady on the phone was extremely rude and was talking down to me because I said " Do you take Medical?" I was supposed to do $1800 worth of services, and I had the money for it, I was just wondering if Medical was accepted, just in case. Then I dared to ask if I also can also add cultures to my treatment, as my family doctor suggested I should do them while seeing the OBGYN. The front desk lady told me - "Why do you need to do cultures? We don't tell your dermatologist ( my doc is not a dermatologist lol) how to run his business, so why is he telling us what to do!?". I said thank you and hang up, shocked. Then she called me and said she spoke to Dr. Chin and he said he can absolutely do cultures during my visit. I told the lady that even though I really want to see him, the way she is speaking to new clients is unfriendly, rude, and absolutely not acceptable. My friend who goes to him said that the front desk lady is rude and miserable, but she is putting up with her because the doc is great. I can not do that. If I were to pay $2000, and a little nervous about the procedure I had to do, I do not want to be talked down to, or deal with rudeness, all on my own money. No thank you. I went somewhere else and I am happy with my visit. read more

My personal experience with Dr. Chin is as a birth doula. I have also had a few gilrfriends that delivered their babies with him and LOVED him. One of his best attributes is patience and trust in the process and a woman's body. When I have a client with Dr. Chin or Dr. Crane (same practice) I know I don't have to worry my clients will be told her baby is too big and she needs an induction, her hips are too small therefore she needs a cesarean etc. He is very helpful and spends quality time with his patients, he supports VBAC, he is the consulting doctor for a few home birthing midwives in town which shows his commitment to caring for women's choices in their birthing experiences. AND he takes insurance, which is important in a town where great doctors sometimes don't. So from a professional stand point I highly recommend Dr. Chin. Giuditta Tornetta Joy in Birthing read more

Dr. Chin is such a gift that I wish all doctors were like him and had his gentle and well-educated manner. I am having my first baby and chose Dr. Chin based on reviews and referrals from past patients. His office staff is always so polite and kind when i come for my monthly check-ups. From the beginning, I have never felt rushed during my appointments and he always makes sure that all of my questions are answered thoughtfully. I also love that he personally calls you right away when you get your test results back - how many doctors do that nowadays? He is very well-educated and informed me at each visit of what can happen at different stages of pregnancy as well as reassuring me so that I never felt nervous or anxious during this special time. I feel so comfortable knowing that Dr. Chin will be delivering my baby in December and am so glad that I chose an OBGYN that is so caring and thoughtful in his work. I cannot say enough great things about him as a doctor and as a person! Thank you! read more

I have never felt more compelled to write a bad review in my life! My experience with Dr. Chin was nothing less than horrifying in every way! It's taking me over five years to find the voice to express my abuse & this forum to share my experience, but it's never too late to warn somebody & spare them the grief I endured. I can usually move past a bad experiences for the better, but what happened still haunts me to this day. Dr. Chin was my OB/GYN serval years ago, and I would've thought everything was basically normal until something serious came up and he handled it like a total heartless monster. In fact, I'm not sure he actually possesses one. A masseuse identified a large lump around my pelvis area, so I went in to check it out with him. Dr. Chin told me they were "chocolate cysts" on my ovaries & gave me the impression it wasn't much concern, but to check back in a few months. Not taking this too serious from his casual analysis, I just waited until my annual for my next visit. When I did so, they had apparently enlarged to the size of a grapefruits! His glorious bedside manner instantly blamed ME for not coming sooner, and now it was a major problem! Once his unprofessional panic washed over my reality, I wanted to do whatever was necessary to remedy this as I was desperately trying to still conceive. He told me we would need to do surgery to remove them, but my fertility doctor at the time recommended he should also be there in conjunction to make sure conception could still be possible. Dr. Chin did not like this at all. In fact, he complained that my fertility doctor would be making over twice what he would be making! This was already the most unprofessional thing I've ever heard a doctor admit in front of a patient! WTF?! Then, when I desperately tried to coincide with both of these doctors schedules to find my surgery date, it was nearly impossible to get a response from his office. So, I had to call repeatedly to try & track someone down to give me some options. Once I finally did, Dr. Chin called me in his office to literally berate me for "harassing" his staff! To the point that they were even embarrassed with his tirade on me, but he wouldn't stop! I couldn't believe I was having to juggle all this ego BS, while also dealing with the idea that something was seriously wrong with me ...and these are the doctors who were going to perform a major surgery on my body! I was told the surgery would take two hours, but somehow it took over six! Since then, I've had to work with a urologist who believes the surgery caused me to have acute bladder retention problems for the past several years since. In fact, I've had to go to the ER several times to have a catheter release my bladder from the residual effects of this botched procedure! Now, five years later, the cysts have come back in full force, and I need to have the surgery all over again. I am with a wonderful OB/GYN now who plans to correct his errors! In fact, her super helpful staff has given me necessary preop info, etc that was never even shared with me before, amongst other helpful and supportive guidelines that make me feel at ease. I hope this can help someone out there... and Dr. Chin if you're reading this... Thanks for nothing! read more

Do not go to this doctor. He comes across as very smart but he was lazy and did not do routine tests right away. I thought he was going to be good and I trusted that he would do the appropriate tests in a timely manner to make sure that I was ok after weeks of feeling sick. I write from my experience. Be aware of the care you are getting if you go to this doctor. Speak up for yourself if you feel that something is off. Thank goodness I left him because I found out that I needed care immediately and I could have gotten even sicker had I not left him. And...on top of it all...a medicine he prescribed (which I found out later I didn't even need) directly gave me a terrible secondary infection which can be life threatening. Dr. Chin also acted like he didn't believe what I was telling him and really shrugged me off. But I have found an amazing doctor now and all my instincts were right on. My current doctor was shocked and outraged at the lack of care I received at Chin's office. A doctor should never assume something is ok without doing tests. A doctor should never have disregard for how a patient is feeling. A doctor should never over prescribe medications. A doctor should never make a patient feel like she does not know her own body. A doctor should never put a patient at risk. A doctor should never let his ego decide what he thinks is right. But I experienced Dr. Chin doing all these things. I have now discovered a few other people through friends of friends who have had terrible experiences and left too! I wish I had heard of their experiences before I ever went to him. It has been a really terrible time. There are no excuses for the experiences I had at his office and under his care. There are no excuses for a doctor who makes assumptions and does not listen to his patient. There are no excuses for this kind of care and the total lack of empathy. There are no excuses for not doing routine tests right away. And...all those things I experienced with him. I had the experience that it is Dr. Chin's ego that drives his care...not the oath he took when he became a doctor. I only have done a handful of reviews on yelp for business that I really love....but I have to share my experience in the hope that someone else won't have to experience the same thing. read more

I agree with a lot of the reviewers about Dr Chin being laid-back, approachable and calm, as well as not using jargon or scare tactics. But my experience has been that he is that he does not take a holistic approach (he never asks about my health during appointments and has never taken my blood pressure) and he is difficult to pry information from (I have to ask lots of questions to get him to expand upon a point and give me helpful information). I should mention that I have not delivered my baby with Dr Chin yet but am in my fifth month of pregnancy and have seen him about four times. I am trying to keep my expectations realistic--I realize that he is not a midwife or a doula, and that he is basically there in case things go really wrong in the delivery room--but at this point I haven't found him very helpful. I think if I delivered with him it would be fine, but I'm going to see some other doctors beforehand in case they can offer what I feel I'm missing from Dr Chin. read more

I literally owe my life to Tony Chin. I was busy with my new job and I put all my health issues on the back burner. I knew I had a ovarian cyst, but honestly I didn't think it was a big deal. After meeting Dr. Chin at a movie premiere with a friend of mine, he gently suggested that I come see him ASAP. Unlike a lot of top doctors in Beverly Hills, he accepts insurance, so I set up an appointment. He did an ultrasound on the spot. It turned out that my ovarian cyst had a solid tumor inside of it. Dr. Chin set up a surgery date within two weeks at Cedars. The tumor turned out to be Stage 1 ovarian cancer. It was a very scary time, but Dr. Chin was there for me every step of the way -- and for that I'm eternally grateful. read more

Several years ago I went to Dr. Chin with a large (cantaloupe sized) fibroid tumor that needed to be removed. While interviewing doctors to perform the procedure, I had a laundry list, consisting of several legal sized pages of questions. Dr. Chin took what was probably a half hour, sitting forward in his chair with his elbows on his knees, truly listening and patiently answered each question in a manner that was easily understandable. He worked with me in regard to payment, called after my release from the hospital and left what is a tiny hairline scar. I could not possibly give higher praise to this doctor. read more

I love Dr. Chin and his staff they're always on time never waited more than 15 minutes . he never let you feel rushed and he personally calls you about your test results. I am glad he's my Dr. For my 1st born read more

We loved Dr. Chin for our first pregnancy. He was laid back, friendly, but when there was a concern about the baby's anatomy, he sent us out to a specialist just in case. Not an alarmist doctor which we appreciated, since when you are pregnant, you always think something is wrong. Parking was easy with a free lot a block away. We never had to wait long for our appointment and when I needed to be seen for a same day appointment, he was able to squeeze me in. read more

Can't say enough great things about Dr. Chin and his office staff. I went there because I was planning a home birth and was nervous about the baby being "too big" after an ultrasound where the doctor said the baby's abdomen was 97th percentile and I failed the 3 hr gestational diabetes test. I wanted a second opinion about what to do. As soon as I walked in the front door I knew something was different. The staff made eye contact and treated me like a human being and didn't seem to hate their jobs. It makes a huge difference. Dr. Chin was very down to earth/laid back, supportive, upbeat, and respectful (didn't talk down to me but was happy to explain anything I wanted him to). He did another ultrasound (he said he always does his own) and I left feeling like if I stayed healthy I could still do a home birth. I would have happily delivered with Dr. Chin at Cedars if I lived nearby, but since I live in Pasadena it was farther than I wanted to travel to have a baby. I did have the baby at home with a midwife at 39 weeks and she was 8 lbs 2 oz with about 10 minutes of pushing and no complications. (He was right). I am so grateful that he and his office are available to other women wanting to have an awesome birth! Dr. Chin is the best. read more

I am reviewing Dr. Chin based on his prenatal care as I haven't delivered yet (and will likely be too busy at that point to write one)! I delivered my first child with a different OB. I chose Dr. Chin as he was recommended to me by about 4 different people and I also read these reviews (so want to give back). I am very impressed by his prenatal care. One thing I really like about him is that whenever I ask him a question, he answers it, and backs it up with what the latest studies have said. He seems very on top of the latest research and also seems to read research that not only is aimed at OBs, but perhaps doulas too for the best birth (such as research on what does or doesn't "turn" a baby, etc.). Being up on the latest research is not something that you can take for granted that every doctor will do (or will remember). He is also on top of things such as cord blood banking, genetic research, etc., that goes beyond what other OBs consider within the scope of things they need to advise you on. Also, he only has one partner and seems to deliver most of his own patients. That is nearly impossible to find and means you generally know who is going to deliver you, as opposed to groups with 5-10 doctors where you might like half of them and not be crazy about one of the others. His demeanor is laid back. I view that as having the confidence and knowledge to know when to worry and when not to worry, which I think is key to having the best chance at having a birth without unnecessary interventions. I could not be happier with the care so far and fingers crossed for a great birth. read more

I was referred to Dr Chin by a friend of mine. What a GREAT doctor. He makes you feel very comfortable and is so nice and funny! He makes the calls personally which is very nice and meets with you in his office. I was in and out very quickly and he called me the following Monday and my appointment was that Friday. I am very impressed and will continue using him. I wish there were more stars to give this man! read more

Dr Chin has been my doctor for the better part of a decade and there is no better doctor in town who I would trust my lady bits with than him. He gives me enough time to get my questions answered even when the appointment is just a routine visit. And when my husband and I recently sat down with him to discuss fertility options he provided honest and unbiased options to us. One of my friends recommended Dr Chin to me all those years ago and I still feel this was one of the kindest gifts she could have given me. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Chin! He is knowledgable and kind. He spends a very good amount of time with all of his patients. I had a very difficult pregnancy with my last child and he really helped me get through it. Always putting my mind at ease. His staff is also very wonderful and on top of things! read more

Dr. Chin was supposed to be the assistant surgeon in a procedure I had 6 years ago but ended up being the main surgeon so I had actually never met him until he popped his head in my hospital room, post recovery, at 3 a.m after my surgery. He explained that I was already sedated when he arrived in the OR. 12 hours later he was in the hospital again delivering a baby and he decided to stop by to check on me. I have been a huge fan of his ever since. His bedside manner is great because he listens, he explains, he is informed and up to date with recent studies and he is patient and easy going. When I was muddling through medications after surgery he was such a stabilizing force. I was ready to ditch and begging for something different.but he took my frantic calls and patiently talked me through my panic and kept encouraging me to stay the course that he had recommended. Five years later I am so happy that I trusted his decision. I'm a happy camper. I wish he was my regular doctor not just my Gyn. read more
