I went to see Dr Shin for the first time in February 2025, for a physical being that I was having cataract surgery. I can honestly say I was really impressed Thank you Maria E Herrera read more

My mom has been visiting this scam artist clinic for the past year. This facility is NOT about your health, this place is about how they can charge you more for copayments and avoid providing any type of healthcare. 1. The doctor does not listen to your actual health concerns. My mom has been trying to get her hip pain checked out for almost a year now and instead of addressing her actual CHIEF COMPLAINT, the doctor orders a HIV test and some blood work. Provides no work up of hip pain and states that a HIV test is mandatory per insurance. And then charges a $45 copay for CALLING IN RESULTS on a test that my mom did not even want, this is separate from the initial $45 copay that she paid for the visit. 2. They don't keep track of copayments. The office continued to bill my mom $45 almost monthly to which she did not want to argue and figured she needed to pay. So she paid twice even while NOT interacting with this clinic for months. So on the 3rd random bill, she called the front desk. Sadly this was also an extremely unpleasant experience with extremely rude admin assistants. Upon further investigation, they realized they made a mistake and would NOT RETURN the money. Instead they offered to credit her account... what kind of medical facility is this? Credit to her account for a mistake that THEY made. In order to even investigate this, my mom had to send in her own bank statements because they don't give you receipts (probably on purpose) and then insist that you keep owing them money that you already paid. MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR RECEIPTS HERE, demand one if you have to. 3. Still no care ALL YEAR regarding her hip pain. This place is honestly a glorified med spa trying to act like an actual healthcare facility and is embarrassing from someone else who works in healthcare. To everyone who works here and "Dr." Shin, please do better for your patients. The fact that this is purely a business for you is showing. read more

Peter B Shin, MD - Feeling great! - Family Practice Near Me - Torrance, California

Dr. Shin has been taking care of me for a couple of years now. He listens to me regarding my concerns, explains his diagnoses, then follows up. His staff is attentive, professional and efficient. They make calls to remind me of upcoming appointments and send reminder emails, too. I'm very satisfied with the care I receive at Dr. Shin's office. read more

I have been using this clinic for years to get IPL and the skin clinic lady named Eun Young has been so rude and treated me like a dirt. I called her and asked her what I did to her to be treated like that? She laughed off. I am never going back again. read more

This facility focuses on facial rejuvenation and Botox. As a patient of multiple procedures in this arena I can only speak on my own experience. Please consider another professional. I've undergone facial threading, fat burner under the chin/neck, Botox, and lip filler. ALL WITH NO RESULTS, this, after thousands of dollars in fees. My only regret is I can't share any personal images, out of my own embarrassment. At the least my lips after filler/injection shows NO results except that it is now visibly lopsided as noticed by others. Facial threading left me in an ongoing pain and again with noticeably lopsided results. The fat burning injection under the chin? No results. Whatsoever. I've just drained at least 5K + for NOTHING other than that I am still having extreme discomfort and in need of professional plastic surgeons to FIX my face. At no time we're instructions of care advised not before or after procedures. If anyone is interested please feel free to PM me. Worst experience, worst mistake, and paying the price for it. read more

Finally was able to see this Docta's face after having left multiple messages with the front desk back in March when my Father was hospitalized at TorranceMemorialMedicalCenter with an Adult Onset Still's Disease that I had to Diagnose since it is such a rare disease. He ignored my multiple messages and requests back then. This douchbag takes 12 minutes to take a look at my Mama and tried to get rid of her. A new patient that he lets us wait for an hour. I would be going through Remediation Plans and Threats of Going Under with that long of a Waiting. I warned him Docta Shin that he better not Touch my parents with any in-house blood work and esp "radiofrequency" shet he lets his Employees perform without any consent on my Daddy. Now he can screw you in whatever way he wants. But he ain't messing with my parents' physical bodies no more. He ain't even gentleman. Asking me about how old I am? & insinuating that his patients are Geriatrics? Damn, I would rather start smoking cigarettes, cannabis before purchasing YO damn practice... just do your job right. Do not tell an old patient with difficulty walking out in the parking lot, that YO office is so busy, you come and get (self-serve) wheelchair from your office. Self-Serve YO ass read more

This review is overdue since I been a patient of Dr. Shin for almost 15+ years. Dr. Shin is kind, super smart, highly educated, efficient with time, effective Physician, & spiritual person. Dr Shin figures out what's wrong with the patient & necessary course of action in 2 minutes. Lab & blood work is done on premises in most cases. Everyone I met my first visit still work @ Dr Shins, including ladies managing the office & the medical medical Staff. Front Desk is always helpful South Bay Doctors that refer their patients to this office for various procedures and health concerns. Dr Shin makes sure I am current with preventatives like flue shots, COVID-19, & vaccines to aid my immune system against COVID. During the Pandemic I worked every day - exposed to infected clients, coworkers, friends & family members & so far thanks to Dr Shin I have been Covid-free. Dr. Shin has helped me with sports & work related injuries. Prior to having both shoulders operated on in 2018 I consulted with Dr Shin. After reviewing my MRI Dr Shin sent me to Dr. Reuben Chen (who is a Judo Black Belt) to get a Stem Cell type procedure done & repaired my shoulders in 2 months without surgery & rehab. In 2019 I was depressed, could not eat, & overwhelmed with anxiety- due to a messy divorce & losing properties in Foreclosure. Dr. Shin gave me a book titled "The Purpose Driven Life" and advised me I needed God in my life. Dr Shin is an excellent Physician & an amazing man... read more

The front desk staff and SkinCare Staff are not friendly at all, and they made me feel so angry. They are unable to communicate with patients or clients. Also, all of the skincare treatments I received at this clinic didn't work at all and I had to go to another clinic and get the same treatments re-done. They are all about $$ and I'm not happy at all with them. I don't recommend this clinic for the non-insurance covered skincare treatment. read more

He was very professional, friendly and did an excellent job. They were kind enough to rebook an appointment on short notice. Their specials can't be beat. read more

Front desk staff are always soooo rude and not willing to help. She needs to learn how to answer phone calls and how to communicate with patients and family member in professional manner. read more

Never go here. It's a waste of money. I had botox a month ago and it didn't work at all. Thus doctor only care about the money..... and the staff service so rude read more

A family member went to this doc for a physical to get his commercial driver's license renewed. He made the appointment specifically for this purpose and brought the paperwork to the appointment. So $200 later, we found out this doc is not part of the national registry and cannot certify motorists for out of state. Waste of money and time going back and forth to this doc's office and DMV. If you have certification limitations, why wouldn't you tell the patient up front that you are only able to certify if it's within the state. They should be more transparent, not the best business practice. read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. My husband was having some abdominal pain, and we feared it might be a hernia. We called and told them the situation, but Hailey, who seemed to be more concerned that it was Oct. 1st instead of trying to fit us in or let us know the soonest appointment. She kept telling me she had ultrasounds and new patients to deal with. Ok, fast forward 20 minutes later, she calls back and says she can get us seen by noon. We get there right at noon and as my husband is filling out the paperwork, she asked for payment...normal...we have a $40 copayment, but she said came up with $750!! $500 deductible and $250 for the office visit. WTH?! She says its office policy to collect the deductible INCASE the patient needs an CT or MRI! How absurd is that!!!! Our insurance actually called and confirmed this. Totally ridiuculous...can you imagine having to go to an doctor's visit and them asking for $750!! You're reply is absolutely garbage! You could've told me over the phone about the $750...again for "just in case" some sort of imaging was needed. You guys were just looking to collect more money! Also, there was no heat of the moment, we called, asked if the Dr. was able to see us, you checked out our insurance first, then called back and said Dr. was able to see us. NOT ONCE DID YOU MENTION COLLECTING THE FULL DEDUCTIBLE FIRST!!! When we arrived, as my husband was filling out the form, you casually told him that we had to pay $750...he just set the clipboard down and we left...so, no, there was no heat of the moment. You even told United Healthcare when they called you that collecting the full deductible was "office policy." That's some BS! This doctor is a money doctor...not a people doctor. DO NOT COME HERE FOR HEALTHCARE!!! BAD! BAD! BAD! read more

Dr. Shin is the BEST! Very thorough. Very Caring. Always has the patients best interest in mind and uses cutting edge technology! Staff is very friendly and helpful! Highly recommended. read more

Clean doctors office with awesome staff. Treats you with respect and are courteous of your concerns. My grandparents, parents and I have all come here for treatment and have had great results and care. I definitely feel safe when I am here and have the confidence that I will receive the right care I need for my medical conditions. read more

DO NOT GO! The worse doctor ever! I don't write many reviews but this place should get a minus stars! One of the staff members was so rude about us being inside the office and told my wife to go wait in the car because it's still covid.. Came here for my son and Doctor Shin didn't even get up off his chair to look at my sons acne. He just prescribed Retin-A and didn't want to explain other options for his acne skin. He got angry at me in a loud voice because I asked about his opinion if my son should just take Accutane to get rid of everything or just RetinA will do! I did higher my voice after and told him that he's a doctor so he should have a better opinion overall! So bad I will never go back to this office and see this angry lazy doctor that does not even get up and greet his patients. I paid the $100 office visit and got a piece of paper for RetinA prescription and I am done with this office. I don't know about all the other 5stars ppl gave but definitely he's the worse doctor I ever met in my life. Thanks for reading! Hope it helps you find a better skin doctor. read more

If you're looking for a physician who does a physical exam and has a conversation with you regarding your medical concerns, then this is NOT the physician for you. He doesn't even listen when your talking. He's rude, disrespectful and gives medical opinions with actually doing an exam. Although his staff is super kind, his terrible attitude over shadows them and they are vey apologetic for his behavior as if they had to do it a million times before. Dont waste your time or money with this guy. Today he told me that there is no such thing as a hand specialist. Either he's not a physician or all the people I've referred to hand specialist has been sent to imposters read more

DO not see him THIS GUY IS AWFUL they will tell you a certain price for an office visit then when you get there hit you up for all sorts of un needed tests and exams. he is the worst doctor i have seen and i am actually going to report him to the medical board or someone for what he is doing to people or lack there of read more

I've been coming here for a few years now, and I can't say enough good things! I encountered a lot of health issues over the past couple years and as a college student, it was hard to find a reliable doctor that understood the way my body works. The health center at my university is convenient but not very helpful, and I just always end up paying more than I should. I wasn't sure how I felt about Dr. Shin at first because my previous doctors had always been very kind and friendly, but it wasn't long until I made up my mind. He possesses all the characteristics that are important to have in a doctor. First, he is VERY thorough. He makes sure he understands all of your symptoms and the specific details before making any assumptions. Second, he is very understanding and generous. Third, he doesn't waste your time. He doesn't try to suck up to you or take your money, at all. After your first visit he will recognize you and treat you as a friend or family, and as long as you are cooperative and willing to be treated, he will make sure you feel comfortable and try his best. The nurses and other ladies that work there are also very nice and efficient. I know a few of them personally now, and they are all hardworking and many are mothers and understand how expensive and unaffordable medical care may be, and they will try your best to help you. I feel like I can trust them because each of them is competent. It really annoys me when there are nurses or employees who are mean or incompetent, and I've definitely been to places with those kinds of people. Last year I came in with an unusually painful stomachache and instead of dismissing it as just stress or digestive problems and taking a blood test and prescribing medicine, he ordered an ultrasound for me and I found that I had a gallstone and needed to get my gallbladder removed. If it weren't for his thoroughness and intuition, I would've probably suffered a lot more from an inflamed gallbladder. I am very grateful that I came to Dr. Shin's and whenever I need something checked, I am definitely coming here. read more

This is the Best Doctor I have ever been to because he never gives up on you and continues to do research until you are as healthy as you can be. Dr. Shin has helped me tremendously in reliving my medical condition. He works with the insurance, and never denies you treatment even when your medical insurance is giving you trouble. Dr. Shin is genuine and truly cares about his patients. read more

Peter B Shin, MD - Best Dr. - Family Practice Near Me - Torrance, California

I had skincare and laser treatment since last year. My skin has improved a lot, I totally like this place ;) Especially the nurses are really nice and the doctor is so experienced. They recently moved to a better place, the environment is good, clean, bright and cozy! You'll like here :) read more

I have gotten hair removal treatments. It has been good so far. Less hair every time and the service their is really good. Definitely go back :) There is some special rate for the summer. Take advantage if you can! read more

Dr Peter Shin demonstrates a rare quality that is seldom seen with doctors specializing in general practice/family medicine. He takes enough time interviewing and examining a patient and does not over- rely on imaging or lab studies to determine the diagnosis. I would seriously recommend this MD for anyone looking to change or start up with a new MD MS read more

Don't even think about going to this doctor. He only cares about money. Also do not get intimidated by insurance agency they refer. These people are joke!!! read more

I had IPL treatment and my face got more dark spots. The dark spots were funny shapes like a donut. I believe he is not even a dermatologist. Do NOT go here!!! Also, I've heard his lasers are really old and outdated. read more

Been waiting for more than 2 hours for a scheduled appointment with not a word from the staff. A family came in 45 minutes after us and got seen in 15 mins. Looking for a new Doctor. read more

It was the worst doctor and he was a terrible dermatologist. After I got skin treatment there, my face turned into trash. But that hospital took NO responsibility. There is no worse hospital. I doubt if they are a licensed hospital. read more

I am a new patient. The staff was very pleasant. I was able to see the dr right away. Dr Peter was thorough. My visit from start to finish was good. I felt well taken care of. read more

Dr. Shin is my GP. Today I had a follow up appointment to my physical. It was very busy when I arrived and I had to wait an hour before I was seen. While annoying having to wait that long, something amazing happened after my name was called. The nurse actually APOLOGIZED to me for being late! And then at the end of my visit, the scheduler APOLOGIZED again to me for being late! In all my years of visiting doctors and dentists, NEVER have I been given an apology by the Doctor's staff. I have always come to expect that my appointment will never start on time, which was the case today. However, I do commend Dr. Shin's staff for saying sorry. What a great office! Thank you Dr. Shin! read more

This is my favorite skin clinic ever! Dr.Shin is a real gentleman, he is always smiling and taking good care of the patients. I've been coming here for more than a year for my skin treatment, they got good price for laser, and filler and they always have good promotion for almost everything! Doctor's experienced, nurses' are kind, there's no reason that you do not like here. read more

This place is awesome!! The doctor and people are very nice and friendly. They use new machine for toning and removing the dark spots. Very effective with great price!! My friends are saying my face is getting much better after couple times of treatments. I would highly recommend this place! :D read more

I completely disagree with these other reviews. Dr. Shin definitely is very knowledgable. Dr. Shin has been my family doctor for many years now and he defnitely cares for his patients. I've actually gotten laser treatments from him and have never had a problem. Cost wise very comparable. I noticed that they have some great specials. The only negative thing I've experienced in the office is that because they are bilingual, I've been experienced a little bit of a miscommunication. However, not a big issue because their friendliness outweighs it. Super duper friendly staff!!! read more

I was feeling extremely sick and did not know what was wrong with me. I came directly to Dr. Shin and he told me I was diagnosed with strep throat. I found out exactly what was wrong and received a prescription and was feeling better and back to normal within two days! I have been going to Dr. Shin very regularly for more than 7 years now. Each time I was ill he has never failed to inform me of the reasons for my sickness and give me the proper medical treatment. I know I can rely on Dr.Shin to make me feel better instantly. He's a great experienced doctor who genuinely cares for your health. read more

My wife chose him as my son's family doctor because his schedule has more choices and location is very close to my home. I took my son to his office for physical exam and filling a form required by my son's PE. He charged that for $20. I still can accept that although I know some doctors don't charge. This was the first time of visiting as new patient, and becomes the last time now. The experiences are really bad! I hope I could give 0 star even negative. I even don't want to waste time to write much details. I just want to erase this person and visiting from my memory completely. I never had such bad feeling for a family doctor in my whole life: no welcoming to new patient, even no talking, no communication, like a robot. My son also felt very terrible for this doctor. He said the previous one was much much better. Although we have horrible experiences with the doctor, honestly, I have to say the assistant staff is friendly and helpful. I changed my son's doctor immediately after back, and felt a little better. read more

I've been getting my ipl facial here for a while and my skin improved dramatically. Dr. Shin seemed very genuine and they didn't overcharged me at all. In fact, they had a great promotion so I only paid $300 for 3 IPL facials. Everybody here is very friendly and nice. I will definitely come back and see Dr. shin for my face. read more

It sucks that Dr. Shin has all these bad reviews, because he is really a great doctor and these reviews don't portray him accurately at all. I had a small bump just inside my nose that I worried me so I went to see another doctor who basically butchered my face to remove it surgically. I bled for hours afterward and it took weeks to heal. A few weeks later it was back, and someone referred me to Dr. Shin. He immediately knew what it was, removed it with a laser (basically no pain after the initial numbing injection) and it healed in less than two weeks. The scab was so small you could barely see it and that was that. He's efficient, friendly, and knows what he's doing. I have already recommended him to my friends and acquaintances and they have all had good experiences. read more

This man saved my face.....he's been my doctor for probably 10 years. Great dr. And great skin care center

The negative ratings in the earlier reviews seem to be exaggerated. I have been seeing Dr. Shin now for about 3 years, him and his staff have always been polite, attentive and given me the lowest prices imaginable because I have no medical insurance. I have light skin and have problems with too much sun, even though I use sun screen religiously. Also, my wife was recently treated for a incurable syndrome that he cured, and is now treating her for cosmetic surgery. His lasers seem all fine to me, and he is a doctor who is informed on the latest procedures according to everything that I have read and researched. He is for sure one of the best doctors, personally and expert medically that I have ever visited and I am over 60 years old. read more

FROM HEAD TO TOE CLINIC! When you absolutely, positively have to look and feel your very best! Dr. Peter Shin has been part of our family for over 20 years. He is the most caring, knowledgeable and understanding Doctor. We had move to another city when I had an emergency that unable me to drive, so he send his own nurse to pick me up. There is not one Dr. That will ever care for you the way he does. In my opinion he is our family angel, always ready to help, whether over the phone or at his office. Now with the new skin clinic, you can make sure that he will take care of you from head to toes. To keep you feeling and looking your very best! In my personal training business, we send all my client to him, is a one stop health clinic!!! read more
