Meeting Dr. Chin was not a coincidence. It was a long-awaited answer to prayers. Finding a good doctor is not an easy task. A patient like me often does not know if he or she is a good doctor until it is too late. Until I found Dr. Chin this May, I had drifted for two years in search of the right doctor while helplessly watching my biological clock ticking away. I even had a doctor who recommended a Laparoscopy under general anesthesia in the first visit . At that time, I had not had any major tests done. All I had was FSH and Progesterone levels that my primary care provider ordered. This doctor said "Your hormones levels are fine (I learned later that those tests were were not even done on the proper day of the cycle to give an accurate information), but I suspect that you have endometriosis". This was based on no evidence. I asked him how he came to that conclusion. He could not give me a convincing review, but he said to me "Go talk with your hubby, and call us to arrange the test". Thank God I am an assertive woman; I don't take a crap from anybody. I told him that I make decisions about my body, and my husband supports my decisions. He said then "I meant about money because it's not covered by insurance". I replied to him, "That too". I cried that night feeling frustrated and sorrowful. Anyway, I am sure I am not the only one who has gone through unnecessary pain and frustration because of incompetent and unethical doctors who promote themselves for the sake of making money. After three doctors, I met Dr. Chin. Unlike other doctors, Dr. Chin reviewed all the test results before our first meeting, and already had concrete recommendations based on his review. When I asked questions, Dr. Chin readily pulled an article from a journal of that month and read off study results that gave me the most up-to-date answer based on evidence. I knew then I finally met the right doctor. My husband and I were not only impressed with this knowledge and skills but also his office practice. We never had to wait more than five minutes for my scheduled appointments. When I had my test done, I was informed of the results by the afternoon. His staff did not make any errors in billing and I always made us feel like members of the family. Dr. Chin has always been pleasant and has always treated us with respect, for example answering questions with "Yes M'am". It is no wonder that, despite my age (40), I became pregnant on the first round of his treatment. Now my husband John and I cannot wait to see our first baby in February. Dr. Chin also found a good doctor for us for my obstetric needs related to delivery. In our last meeting, I asked Dr. Chin "You believe that meeting you was not a coincidence, right?" He said, "Yes, I believe that it was not a coincidence." I firmly believe that God works through good people like Dr. Chin. I know that if you have found him you are very blessed. Dr. Chin is one whom you can give your heart, and your hope will be fulfilled. If you need more detail about my experience with him or his office practice, feel free to contact me at seongyi.baik@uc.edu or (513) 558-5219.
My husband and I wish you all the best,
Seong-Yi and John October 7, 2003 Cincinnati, OH

Dear Dr. Chin and Staff,
This letter is long overdue but it is difficult for me to put into words our gratitude for the most precious gift anyone could ever be given.
I had heard wonderful comments about you and your staff from some of your former patients and had high expectations. You and your staff greatly exceeded my expectations. You and your staff treated me totally different than the two previous doctors I had been to. I am a registered nurse and have worked with many doctors. Some are wonderful and some are not. In my personal and professional experiences, I have never met a doctor with as much compassion as you have. It is obvious that you truly care for the patient. This is not just a challenge or income for you. From the moment I walked in the door the first time, I knew I had come to the right doctor. Your office is warm and cozy with the painted mural and soft music. The exam rooms were always so warm. I think what impressed me the most was you always addressed my little girl by name. Even when my husband was not present you would ask about him and also mention his name. When I called to tell you we had a little girl, you called them by name again. Obviously you would not have remembered their names since it had been months since I had seen you, but you took the time to look them up before you talked to me. After I started bleeding I was extremely anxious. You agreed to see me every time I had a speck of blood or a worry, even though you knew the baby was fine. I remember one Saturday when I called and you told me to come in so I would not worry the whole weekend. This was a totally different treatment from the previous doctor I had been with. He was dismissive about my legitimate concerns, like when he would not see me when I had bleeding in the middle of my cycle and I ended up having that tubal pregnancy.
I think the icing on the cake was the baby spoon you gave to me when my pregnancy was official. I was impressed just to have received a gift from you but what was written inside is what touched me. It said that children are gifts from God. You gave the credit to God, but we wouldn't have our little miracle without your help too.
My only regret is that I did not start with you five years ago. Thank you for your expertise, compassion, and our precious little Sydney.
Sincerely,
|

I started seeing Dr. Chin around April of 1999, after trying to conceive for 2 years. I cried in the waiting room worrying about what could be wrong with me. My husband and I met Dr. Chin and he made us feel so hopeful - we became very excited about our infertility treatment. We went through lots of ups and downs. Sometimes I found it very hard to think positive. Each time I came here for a visit, Dr. Chin and his staff could lift my spirits. I started with Clomid and ended with Pergonal injections followed by several IUI's. Finally, in March of 2001 I came in for a blood test because I was one day late for my period. I felt foolish for even getting the test because I already had horrible menstrual cramps. The test was finally positive. We couldn't believe it! We are here today to visit Dr. Chin and his staff with our beautiful daughter, Abigail Rose. She is 5 1/2 months old. We brought our cameras and took some pictures of Dr. Chin holding her. I've thought of this day so many times in my mind.
We wish all couples who read this good luck in your efforts to have a baby. Please be patient and remain positive. Trust Dr. Chin - he is the best!
Best wishes,
