Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Take these reviews seriously. I have been to 20+ doctors in the last couple years and this was by far the worst experience of all. After having my primary care doctor refer me for hashimotos, Mr Chin informed me that if I wanted to follow up with the nodule on my thyroid that it needed to be done by my primary doctor. He also believes that labs from over a year ago don't need to be updated. I was able to get my tsh checked and even that wasnt easy to get out of him. He believes your tsh alone shows the entire thyroid function. A joke of a doctor, truly. You are better off seeing no one.

Horrible, rude and dismissive. Would not recommend this Doctor to anyone. Don’t waste your time or money.

He basically wasted my time and money.
He was very dismissive and would not look at differential diagnosis to help me figure out my problem. Would not go back or recommend him.

I was referred to Dr. Chin Edward for an enlarged thyroid. My mind was burdened by worries about the nature of the lump itself and whether this doctor could help me navigate whatever lay ahead. However, my concerns were alleviated after my visits with Dr. Chin. He is absolutely one of the best doctors I have met. He is a warm-hearted and knowledgeable physician who patiently listened to my concerns/questions and addressed each of them professionally and thoroughly. He also explained the possible reasons for the lump developing and the prognoses of each type of lump. Before the Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB), he detailed exactly what to expect. I was so fortunate to have my FNB done by Dr. Chin and Dr. Adam Davis. Their care for patients, attention to detail, and technical skills were evident. The FNB team also consisted of James, a wonderful cytologist, who was at the procedure, helping ensure the samples' quality. The whole experience with Dr. Chin’s office was nothing short of excellence. I am forever grateful for what Dr. Chin and his team have done for me!

I went to Dry Chin for thyroid biopsy. He was very informative with what would happen step by step so I was prepared for the needle and the pressure. He also has a wonderful sense of humor which is comforting also. Definitely would go back if needed
