Patient Reviews
Jul 16, 2021
Dr. Shin was direct and to the point about my umbilical hernia upon my initial visit for consolation. As a younger male (30), he told me it would be simple and no mesh would be necessary due to the size of the hernia. He was exactly right, my surgery was over and done with in a matter of hours and was home before I knew it. Now, 3 months later, the side he operated on almost seems to be stronger than the ‘normal’ side. Trustworthy and capable are the two words I use to describe Dr. Shin
