Happy he's retiring. Gas lighting psychiatrist that misdiagnosed me and put me on a medication that I told him would not help. Didn't give any advice on weaning myself off the medication if it didn't work. Also I don't understand why his team mailed us AFTER they transferred their medical records, but whatever. It's been 2 years since I saw him and I still remember leaving his office in tears. read more

He has two offices. One in Whittier Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. And one in Monterey Park Wednesdays and Saturdays. I personally really like him because he gives into all my requests. I am the type of person where it's my way or the highway so I like him a lot. I like that he always chose meds that didn't make me gain weight. He accepts ppo and hmo insurance. He charges $100 for written letters. read more

He should not be in practice. He made extremely inappropriate sexual comments, and rambled about his son's and my husband's military careers instead of focusing on my suicidal ideation and medication management. Very friendly and personable, right up until the inappropriate comments were made, which were so incredibly bad that they triggered PTSD and have upset me for years. Clinical decision making skills were not all there either. Seems to have lost his filter and judgement and really needs to retire. Please find anyone else to trust with your mental health. (Complaint in process with the medical board. Any other patients with a similar experience, please contact https://www.mbc.ca.gov/Consumers/Complaints/. The people are kind, friendly, and helpful, and the process does not involve confronting anyone or being humiliated. I'm so sorry others have been through this experience as well. Please don't give up on seeking treatment elsewhere because of this bad experience!) read more

This pig asked for a piece of my hair and made comments about my weight and appearance multiple times. Do not go to the so called physician, he has no interest in helping people. read more

Dr Chin is awesome! He helped me so much last year and I'm now feeling way better and in control w my anxiety and depression. I love his sense of humor despite his age. He's so real and so funny! I would recommend anyone to come to Dr Chin. He's a really busy guy! Front desk girls are super nice and helpful too! read more

I visited him because of some of the good reviews here, but honestly, ehh.. He listened to my symptoms for about 2 minutes and just told me what he's gonna prescribe. He wouldn't explain to me what the prescription does, or why I need the specific prescription until I ask him. I visited him three times and all of the meetings did not last ten minutes. So weird.. read more

I was seeing Dr. Chin for a few years on and off, but he always made comments about how if he were my age he'd ask me out, talk about how it was crazy that I didn't have a boyfriend. He put me on ADHD medication that assisted with weight loss and even though that was cool, I tried telling him the pills were making my depression and suicidal thoughts worse, and instead of taking me off of them, he wanted to up my anti-depressants saying we wanted me to keep losing weight so I could get more whistles on the street. I am out of my pills and thought about going back to refill my prescription, but it's not worth the anxiety I get from having to see him. Something tells me your psychiatrist shouldn't be making you this uncomfortable especially when you're trying to get help. 10/10 would NOT recommend. read more

I genuinely liked the guy. He had a great sense of humor. Asked me if I smoked pot, when I said no he was surprised, because he said I looked like an old hippy. HaHaHa. Went to see him for a psych eval before my bariatric surgery. He said I was fine and charged me $80.00 for the paperwork. Most Psychiatry offices do that these days. No problem for me. I actually enjoyed my time with him. read more

It was difficult to find a psychiatrist after my 1st experience with a local psychiastirst in the Whittier area who lectured me about my disability and didn't help me after paying $200 cash. In continuing to seek medical treatment for my disability I was recommended Dr. Chin from my employers health insurance just over three years ago.I would rate Dr. Chin a 3 or 4 star rating if he only did his job in treating my ADD disability. I rate Dr. Chin a well deserved 5 star rating because as a professional he goes above and beyond in helping me as his patient. I am currently overcoming the most difficult time of my life personally & professionally facing severe multiple life obstacles. Despite I don't need to share much details with Dr. Chin, he understands me as his patient (understood me from day 1) and provides me the best words of wisdom that truly helps me in life. Dr. Chin is able to get through to me immediately, he doesn't say any nonsense and keeps it real. Today I am prepared to continue to carryout my life with a strategic approach in having a quality of life in balancing my personal interest, family, and professional work around love and happiness. Dr. Chin is easy to communicate with he listens (not lectures), he asks all the right (few) questions and in a consultative approach Dr. Chin customizes his knowledge and recommendations based on the patient needs (whatever I need to hear and accept). If it wasn't for Dr. Chin I would still be living a nightmare lifestyle rather than chasing dreams. Dr. Chin is in the business of helping others and provides top notch medical services. I would recommend Dr. Chin to anyone who not only needs but wants medical help. In addition, Dr. Chin has staff members who also goes above and beyond for their patients. No matter what medical needs you have that may require immediate attention, I reccomend to be patient with the ladies at the front desk. I always appreciate all their hard work, contribution and dedication to their patient services delivery especially when the ladies are dealing with my insurance, pharmacy, etc. Lastly, you may read reviews about Dr. Chins sense of humor, YES! despite I hit rock bottom recently his personality allowed me to laugh in his office when he spontaneously says things that are funny but true that are also aligned to making a point in other words. read more

I thought that a mental health facility is to be a organized, professional, helpful, and compassionate place. Unfortunately, they are not! I spoke with a " Supervisor" who was the one who made my appointment, over a month and a half to see Dr. Chin M.D... I had asked her specifically a month ago, If she accepted my insurance and what she would need from me and what my c0-pay would be, she stated she would confirm at least a week and a half prior to appointment. Not one call to advise me if I was all set or not. It was my fault for not confirming prior too; but, with all what I was going through, I forgot. So, I called the day of my appointment, found out that they were possibly going to have to cancel my appointment, when Jennifer stated she called last week and left a message to confirm an authorized referral and no one from my insurance carrier confirmed! Oh, and that it was my responsibility to get a referral? That she was still waiting for a call back and if they did not call her back, I would need to reschedule. Really!! As a manager, you don't wait three days prior, you need to follow through and go the extended mile to make sure your future patient is taken care of prior too. And do not tell that patient, you need to call and get a referral the day of appointment!. Well I guess, Dr. Chin, will need to be aware of his staff and give them a refresh course of compassion and making sure all insurance needs are made aware of at least a week and a half prior to appointment. Oh and confirming if there is a co-pay!! Just saying!!! read more
