I' ve always been impressed with Dr Shin!
Dr. Shin is very compassionate and is a very, very good doctor who is very attentive to my medical needs. Thank you.

Dr. Shin is a kind, caring, receptive Doctor. She is genuinely interested in me, the whole person. She looks me in the eye and I never feel like she needs to move on to her next patient.

Dr. Shin is a great doctor. She's personable. She explains everything. She really cares. She's like a friend. I would highly rate her. She's one of my favorite doctors, and I have a couple of really good ones, but she's right up there. She's a gem, and I can't say enough things about her. She's very professional, very knowledgeable. She looks up ... Read More
