Surgeon Testimonial

Philip Chin, M.D.
I liked him. He was professional polite. The office staff was superb.

The bariatric program assistant disappeared before I was discharged from the hospital and I was disappointed that she did not return when she said she would. She was supposed to bring some protein for us to buy. I was counting on that.

He let me know that I had to see him or my own physician 2 weeks postop. I live out of town and my own physican was out of town so I will have my first post op one month after surgery. I feel really great. No complications and my nurse friends say I am healing nicely.

He addressed the risks in detail.

I rate Dr. Chin number one.

I am not a high maintainance kind of girl but I do like quality. Dr. Chin made a beautiful incision and he did wonderful work inside because I have not had complicatons at all. I did go by his aftercare plan and all is well. His bedside manner was professional and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Thank you Dr. Chin.
