Patient Reviews
Mar 30, 2019
Dr. Shin provides information based on his experience. He does not insist on recommendations but allows people to make decisions they can live with. He listens, has great knowledge but does not force people to do something that they do not want. After 17 years on service I trust him implicitly.
