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.

I saw so many good reviews that I wanted to call and make an appointment with Dr. Shin an hour ago. I have been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome for several years now after a surgery that was not done well, so I was afraid to go to any other doctor for a second surgery, but after finding Dr. Shin, I finally decided to register with him.

Dr. Shin and Renna are absolutely amazing providers. They take time with you - act like you're their only patient. Listen to you - ask questions and really seemed concerned about my care. Explain everything!

Incredibly kind and thoughtful doctor and personnel. They went to great lengths to make me comfortable and relaxed even though I had a lot of apprehension. I had surgery for a cut tendon and it went incredibly smooth both on the surgery and anesthesiology side. The facility at cedars is top of the line. I would recommend Dr. Shin and his team to anyone in a heartbeat.

Dr. Shin and his team are excellent and I would definitely recommend him as the guy to fix any issues with your hands. I had a pretty intense fracture in my right wrist and went to Shin for surgery. He is very passionate about his work and thorough in explaining his approach in the solution to your matter. The only downside is that he is so busy, so the amount of time you get with him directly is minimal and therefore the office visits feel rush
