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.

Refusal of Care
Dr Brian Chin refused care to me to check my 20 yr old Lapband because he wasn’t the surgeon who placed it. I previously lived out of state. His staff is unprofessional and rude and I do not recommend.

I am an MD internist/ medical subspecialist with > 4 decades experience in the East Bay. Dr Chin has done 2 mesh laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs on me. I have received excellent results and excellent care from Dr Chin. He takes time to explain the procedure and post op care. I highly recommend him without any reservation.

I underwent Gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Chin. I had a wonderful experience and would recommend him for sure.
