Dr. Chin embodies everything you would want in a doctor! He is brilliant and at the top of his field, he is patient, kind, thoughtful, supportive, and approachable. He speaks to you as an equal and you feel both empowered and taken care of. And I love that he has a great sense of humor. I came to him at the recommendation of my kiddo's pediatrician (she said he was the top ob/gyn she knew), and I am forever grateful to her for the referral. I really cannot thank Dr. Chin enough for his incredible care. read more

Dr.Chin is amazing! He is the best in the area hands down. He is so knowledgeable as an OBGYN and well known as a top notch surgeon at Cedars. I trust him with my life. I've recommended several friends to him who now love him as much as I do. I have never had to wait long to see him and in fact his staff got me in on the same day when I was having a personal crisis. His bed side manners are comforting and professional. He is just a natural. I would highly recommend Dr.Chin as he is the best!! read more

I'm leaving this for my girlfriend as she hasn't set up a Yelp account but wanted to leave a review. She has had two great ob gyn's. One retired, then she was lucky to be referred to Dr. Chin. He has handled all her appointments with care and great advice. She always tells me he takes all the time necessary to listen and answer her questions and will call back promptly to report results of tests. And that he is one of the smartest docs around with a good sense of humor, which really helps when she's nervous about something. And I'm happy that's she's well taken care of. read more

Dr. Chin and his office are great. Dr. Chin is very relaxed, but he's incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. He delivered both of my children and I was comfortable and had complete confidence in him. His office is run very smoothly- like clockwork. In my years of office visits, I recall one significant delay. Both Pilar and Leti are very nice, competent and personable. I highly recommend his practice. read more

Had my first appointment with Dr. Chin today and I am extremely pleased - the staff was very nice and Dr. Chin has a very good personality makes you feel like you're talking to a friend - he made my fiancé and I feel extremely comfortable!! Im so happy I found him and I look forward to future appts!! read more

Dr. Chin is truly a wonderful, caring, smart doctor. He listens. He is up to date on everything. As a gynecologist, and OBGYN, he knows so much and takes time to explain in an understandable manner. He and his staff are kind, and respectful. I've been to others, and there is no one that comes close to him. I always wanted a woman GYN, but when so many of my friends recommended him, I took their advice and I'm so pleased I did. Anyone will be satisfied too. read more

Dr Chin is INCREDIBLE. A doctor simply just could not be better. He took care of me during two pregnancies and was there for me when my husband and I went through something very difficult with the first of the pregnancies. He is caring and warm and very sensitive and responsive. You will never ever feel like just a number in his office. The office has two other doctors-Dr Crane and Debbie Frank. No personal experience with either one, but I have met both and they come across as wonderful people as well. If you are looking for an ob, just meet with Dr Chin-there is absolutely no way that you will be dissapointed! read more

I am floored by the positive reviews giving to this doctor, after the experience I had with him! I feel everyone should know what kind of doctor he really is..... Dr. Chin was my back-up doctor for my midwife, incase I needed to go to the hospital during labor and delivery. I only met him briefly once before the day I went into labor. But I assumed he was all for a natural delivery and supportive of the mothers choice, since he was working with a midwife. On the day of my labor, 9 hours in I decided to go to the hospital for an epidural. Moments after getting the epidural Dr. Chin came to see how far along I was. He measured me at 4 centimeters and expressed his disappointment that I was only that far along after 10 hours. He started talking about Pitocin to "help speed things along", those were his exact words! At that point I had only been at the hospital for an hour and had just been giving the epidural! He hadn't even giving me the chance to progress. I refused the Pitocin and asked to see if we could see how things go. He said he would give me an hour and basically I better have progressed or he would need to start the Pitocin. From then on out I had horrible anxiety! Thank god for my wonderful amazing widwife Elizabeth Bachner, who stayed by my side throughout the entire process! She kept me calm and informed and even had a little chat with Dr. Chin, after he started threatening me with a C-section because I still "wasn't progressing fast enough." My midwife told him to please let me go on my own pace. Dr. Chin than left and didn't return until about 8 hours later when I was fully dilated and ready to push. All of his pushing and threatening was completely unnecessary and uncalled for! I truly believe if it wasn't for my midwife I would have had a C-section due to him just wanting to get things over with. Yes I may have had a long labor (23 hours to be exact) but it was a normal labor and a successful delivery, no thanks or credit to him! I should also mention that because of his neglect I had to go to the ER 5 days after the delivery for extreme cramping! Apparently I was having contractions! He hadn't removed the entire placenta! I had to have the rest removed with a very painful procedure (I won't get into details). I informed Dr. Chin of the situation, but received no apology! So to sum it up, he's just about the worst doctor and I would stay clear! read more

I have to agree with Nicole C, her experience with Chin actually sounds a lot like my birthing experience with him. I was very turned off by his bedside manners and found him to be very rude and unprofessional during a time when I was feeling very vulnerable. He also pushed Pitocin on me from the very beginning and I could not understand why. I had a walking epidural and was making progress-yes it may have taken hours but I wanted to avoid any unnecessary drugs if possible. Plus, my baby was not in any kind of harm from waiting. I could tell when Chin arrived at the hospital that he was frustrated with me for not following along with what fit in HIS schedule. He made comments like, "I'm just going to go home if you're not going to take the Pitocin". And as he left he said, "I'm going to go have dinner with my daughter now". Unbelievable...Luckily the nurses at Cedars Sinai are amazing and supportive. They made up for all of Chin's shortcomings. To me it seems all the high reviews are probably from people who obeyed all of Chin's orders and didn't challenge his calls. As long as you stay on his good side, you'll get the pleasant guy. But as soon as you question him, you've got a totally different person. read more

Dr. Chin was my wife's OBGYN when she was pregnant for the second time (I guess he still is her OBGYN). He always explained everything to us and answered all of our questions. He was always on-time, except once when he was out delivering a baby which took longer than expected. read more

Love him. Great doctor. I went thru 4 other obygn doctors before him and I was never happy with the quality of the service and the skills of the doctors. After finding dr Chin, I stopped there. I have been going to his office for about 5 years now and had a c section that he performed incredibly well and so fast 3 years ago. My recovery was wonderful and the cut at the right place that is unnoticeable now. I recommend dr Chin to anyone looking for a good experience. What I love the most, he always calls you personally to provide you with lab results or any update on your condition or to answer any question you have. Excellent experience. I drive 23 miles every time to see him. read more

Dr. Chin delivered both of my babies and he is also my regular gynecologist. He is extremely smart, up to date, and knowledgeable about every question I ask (and I always have many). Both times I delivered my babies, the Cedars staff only said amazing things about him. When I have seen other specialists for other issues and tell them my OBGYN is Dr. Chin, everyone in the medical community knows -- and respects him. That alone speaks volumes. I have also recommended several friends to him who all love him as much as I do. He calls you personally with results (same day if he has them) and is very thorough with his explanations. He listens carefully and closely and gives you solid information. So far, he has been right on every single recommendation and anticipated result. I have never met another doctor like him (and I have seen other BH doctors). Five stars for Dr. Chin. read more

Dr. Chin is seriously awesome! Best bedside manner, remembers you and treats you like a friend and patient he cares for not just a number. Works with whatever birthing plan you have in mind and is just plain nice. I knew I loved him before, but having moved from the state and forced to use another doctor for baby #2, I appreciate him SO much more! read more

For a moment I thought about writing a review about how Dr. Chin was the worst and to never go to him. Why? Because I want him all to myself and I don't want to share! Ok, so I am a little possessive about Dr. Chin, but he's my baby doctor so try and understand. We were referred to him by our friend's whose children were delivered by Dr. Chin. He spent about an hour with us for the initial appointment, answering and often anticipating every question I had for him. Actually now that I think about it, he always spent a lot of time with us, he never rushes things and reassures you with any problem. I could not wait for my appointments, Dr. Chin is just the best. About mid way through my pregnancy I freaked out because I could not feel the baby, but Dr. Chin came in on a Saturday to check everything out on the ultrasound. He probably rearranged his whole morning and I am eternally grateful for him.I had to have an emergency C-Section and let me tell you, if you have to be cut, he is the man to do it (or his partner Dr. Crane, but he did not take insurance so he was out). My only regret is that he is not a pediatrician because he is the best doctor a woman could ask to have in what is arguably the most vulnerable part of her life. Dr. Chin is the man. read more

At 10 weeks right now. But at week 5 I started having intense heart palpitations every few seconds. Dr. Chin squeezed me into his day and immediately sent me to a heart specialist to rule out any causes not related to the pregnancy. My heart is still skipping but at least I know it's due to the increase blood volume and my heart is 100% healthy according to the echo-cardiogram and blood work. My heart chose to juggle the new blood instead of finding a new rhythm. Dr. Chin checked our baby's heart and it was calmly beating a steady beat. I was referred to Dr. Chin by our midwife Davi Khulsa. I will be returning to Dr. Chin during week 13-14 for a check-up. UPDATE: after a extremely long attempt of home birth (30 hrs) I finally went to the hospital. Dr. CHIN was extraordinarily great. He didn't push drugs or c-section. He allowed my body to rest, recharge and start again (had to have epi upon arrival at hospital for back spasm so contractions would happen). He was super patient and after 12 hrs I delivered naturally and he was stoically calm through the entire process. Don't walk 5 miles a day (as my midwife pressures her clients regardless of their pain)....if you hurt = stop! Major Lesson Learned. We loved our experience with Dr. Chin and plan to go directly through him when we are blessed with another successful pregnancy. read more

Dr. Chin has been my OB for about 5 years now. He helped me the deliver my first born. He has always been friendly and genuine. I drive 30+ minutes because I appreciate the way he treats me. I trust his professional opinion. His staff is very friendly. I love Pilar. She is always kind. Liz is the best phlebotomist ever. My veins are hard thin and I used to get poked several times by other phlebotomists in the past. I love Liz. I'm now pregnant with my second child. I will continue to see Dr. Chin as all I have is positive experiences from our encounters. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Chin's for 14 years. He delivered all 4 of my children, each delivery unique and different. With each pregnancy he has been so patient and caring. I have always felt comfortable asking him any question and knew I would get a detailed answer. He takes alot of time with his patients and makes you feel like you are the only one! Besides for being a HUGE deal at Cedars, he is also the most NORMAL and down to earth dude. His office staff is so warm and inviting. I would never think to go to a different doctor. Dr. Chin is the one for me read more

Dr. Chin is one of the best OBs in Los Angeles. I'll save you the hours interviewing OBs and reading countless yelp reviews and tell you he has one of the highest yelp ratings out there. Dr. Chin is one of the best: he is a fantastic surgeon, compassionate, open to you doing what you want and intensely loyal and dedicated to his patients. (My favorite interview was one with a doctor who when she heard I was w Dr. Chin pre-birth, she told me that she was happy to have me as a patient but that she also said I could stop interviewing and stay with Dr. Chin as I was with one of the best doctors in LA-- got to love that when someone turns away business because they believe so strongly that Dr. Chin is a great doctor). From the start of my pregnancy, I yearned for a natural, unmedicated childbirth. While Dr. Chin does ultrasounds every visits and will suggest medications and surgeries as solutions, you will find a good match with him if you are wanting a medical opinion that is detached and informed. A couple of times he suggested that I take this medication or consider that surgery but he never, ever not even once pushed anything on me. When I was at Ceder's Hospital, a nurse confirmed what I suspected: 9 out of 10 doctors would have never let me go home and monitor my own blood pressure as he had allowed me to do (my numbers showed that I might have pre-eclampsia, I knew I didn't have it and told Dr. Chin: "Please just let me go home!" - And he let me trust myself and supported doing what I wanted). The nurse told me that Dr. Chin is known at Ceder's for allowing his patients to follow what they choose first and never pushing anything on them. When I went into labor on Memorial Day weekend, Dr. Chin had plans to go on a small vacation but stayed home to be at my birth. He takes about one vacation a year (wish he'd take more -- he works so hard!). So unlike many doctors I interviewed, there is a very high chance he will for sure be at your birth. When my birth went in the direction of needing medical intervention to keep both myself and my son alive, I faced a situation that he knew was hard for me to face. Dr. Chin knew that I had dreamed and yearned for a natural birth and I could tell that every cell in his being was sad that wasn't happening. I have seen "The Business of Being Born" and I was expecting that my experience at Ceder's and with him might involve coercion, rushing or encouraging me to do an over medicated birth. My husband and I joke as my experience was the opposite of "The Business of Being Born". With Dr. Chin leading the team, I felt that they were doing absolutely everything possible for a natural birth. I have also heard while interviewing different doulas that two different times Dr. Chin encouraged his patients to remember their natural birth plan (while they were begging for an epidural). And one time I was put on hold and overheard him on the phone with a patient at the hospital encouraging her to keep going and not jump to a c- section as a solution quite yet, as a natural birth was still an option. Regarding billing, when Dr. Chin learned that my insurance might not cover my birth because of Obamacare and the transition during 2014, he told me not to worry that they would just charge me the rate that my insurance would even if by my birth that insurance company hadn't approved him - of course they did . Today's a month since our birth, and there has been no nagging about payment and I keep asking his staff and they told me not to worry, I can pay at my 6 week postpartum check up. Most OBs I interviewed asked for a deposit way before birth and I appreciate Dr. Chin's relaxed, flexible approach with our insurance situation. I know he has done this with others as well. Dr. Chin returns my calls personally almost always the same day. His staff is also fantastic as well: Letti, Pilar, Kathy and Liz all knew me by name. Letti-incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with all insurance questions, Kathy- great with scheduling. And once I had a fall during my pregnancy and Pilar was so sweet and worked hard to get me an appointment that day so I could calm my nerves (everything was fine). Before I went to Dr. Chin I was quite scared and against pretty much anything having to do with medicine. Not only has he provided the opportunity for me to see the benefits and gifts of western medicine but he worked so loyally during my very complicated birth to bring me the greatest miracle of my life: my healthy son into my arms. I will forever be so thankful for him and his team. (Also as a first time mom of a one month old baby, I have spent over three hours editing this review -- I haven't even returned a call from my own mother this week -- just wanted you to sense how much I value Dr. Chin) read more

Dr. Chin is the most amazing, caring dr. EVER! He delivered my 3rd child and I wish he had delivered the first 2 also. He stayed with me from the time he left his office at 4:30 until I delivered at 11pm. He constantly checked on me and made sure that I was comfortable. I used to work with him 1 day a week and I can tell you he treats ALL his patients this way. He went on vacation and when I asked how it was he said he didn't have fun when I asked why he was so bummed he said it was because he missed the deliveries of 3 of his patients! H e was really upset! He even visited me in the hospital when I was in for back surgery! He is the BEST! I have worked for some of the so called best Dr.s in Beverly Hills and Dr. Chin leaves them in the dust! Dr. Katz, Dr. Cousineau, Dr. Kadner, Dr. Goldberg, the are good but Dr. Chin is AMAZING!!!! read more
