[...] & Dr Chin are always amazing
All of the staff were friendly and professional. Dr. Chin made me feel as if he had all the time in the world and listened to my concerns, taking immediate action (x-rays) to get to the bottom of the issue. I now have a plan of action and am very pleased.

Dr Chin is exceptional. He is clear and concise but also caring. He did a thorough assessment of my ankle, reviewed scans with me, explained my prognosis and made a plan of care. All of which eased my fears and concerns regarding my injury! He also completed FMLA paperwork on the spot. His MA [...] was kind, thorough, and so helpful with a plan for care at home and assistance with paperwork.

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.
