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.

gallbladder surgery
Amazing doctor! I had gallbladder removal surgery, and he only opened up from the bellybutton. I had no pain after the surgery, I could walk and eat! I feel like I didn’t even get surgery and I was in no need of painkillers. Thank you to Dr. Shin and his team! You are the best!! Ayferi Dumankaya

This doctor is a superior human being. He came so many times to see me in the hospital. He just kept com coming. I was overwhelmed by his caring. It brings me to years to think about when he called me on my cellular phone out of concern. He and a few other doctors are such great inspiration to me. An angel of the Lord sent these people and they saved me life.

Dr. Shin could not have been more personable, attentive and informative. He and his staff were wonderful and caring throughout the entire process. He exudes confidence yet he is not condescending and put me at ease knowing I was in the right hands. He and his whole team put me at ease in what could have been a sressful time.

Dr. Shin is a professional, personable, caring physician. I recently had to have a procedure and could not be more satisfied with the explanation of what to expect. If in the future I would need any other surgical procedure, Dr. Shin would be the first person I would contact. In addition, his office was staff has been wonderful. Whether it was to schedule an appointment or just general questions, the people there have been so helpful and pleasant and especially patient on the telephone.
