I had a most excellent experience. I suffered a debilitation tendon injury, and Dr Chin fixed me right up. He's very professional and very to talk to.
I really appreciated the thoroughness of Dr. Chin's examination and his appreciation for the whole picture. Highly satisfied!

Dr. Chin is by far one of the best if not the best medical providers I have ever had. His bedside manner is kind, patient and respectful. I felt heard, seen and medically cared for every time I saw him.
Dr Chen was excellent! Descriptive of problem. Knowledgeable and answered my many questions
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Chin for anyone who needs orthopedic care on the foot or ankle. He was patient and positive in explaining and addressing needs from before my surgery, during my recovery, and post-op appt.
I asked the doctor several technical questions and I did not leave time to emphasize more of the risks of surgery. Doctor was very respectful of my thoughts, which is why I think he didn't emphasize it more. He did talk about the non surgical option and its benefit.
Dr. Chin is exemplary. One of the best doctors in the UW
The doctor explained the nature of my injury and referred me to physical therapy he as easy to understand and answer all my questions.
Dr. Chin was great. Knowledgeable, thorough, focused. [...] He was very direct & very fast in his assessment.
Dr Chin inspired confidence in me in anticipation of my upcoming surgery. He is open, friendly, and thorough. We liked him immediately and trust his skills.
Care provider did not adequately explain to me his treatment protocol leading to unexpected time under restrictions. The only explanation I got was immediately after surgery and it was unclear I would be under restrictions for an additional 4 weeks. This could have been prevented with better explanations weeks ago.
Dr. Kenneth Chin was upbeat in his demeanor, and professional in his care. So far, I've been extremely pleased with his surgical skill and overall care. I feel confident that I am getting the best care for my medical issue.

Excellent Doctor
Doc went over MRI and physical exam to describe issues and discussed my concerns. While I am looking surgically correct longtime issues in my ankles, I didn't feel like he was trolling for a surgical candidate and was sure to provide non surgical information
