Meeting Dr. Chin was not a coincidence. It was a long-awaited answer to prayers. Finding a good doctor is not an easy task. A patient like me often does not know if he or she is a good doctor until it is too late. Until I found Dr. Chin this May, I had drifted for two years in search of the right doctor while helplessly watching my biological clock ticking away. I even had a doctor who recommended a Laparoscopy under general anesthesia in the first visit . At that time, I had not had any major tests done. All I had was FSH and Progesterone levels that my primary care provider ordered. This doctor said "Your hormones levels are fine (I learned later that those tests were were not even done on the proper day of the cycle to give an accurate information), but I suspect that you have endometriosis". This was based on no evidence. I asked him how he came to that conclusion. He could not give me a convincing review, but he said to me "Go talk with your hubby, and call us to arrange the test". Thank God I am an assertive woman; I don't take a crap from anybody. I told him that I make decisions about my body, and my husband supports my decisions. He said then "I meant about money because it's not covered by insurance". I replied to him, "That too". I cried that night feeling frustrated and sorrowful. Anyway, I am sure I am not the only one who has gone through unnecessary pain and frustration because of incompetent and unethical doctors who promote themselves for the sake of making money. After three doctors, I met Dr. Chin. Unlike other doctors, Dr. Chin reviewed all the test results before our first meeting, and already had concrete recommendations based on his review. When I asked questions, Dr. Chin readily pulled an article from a journal of that month and read off study results that gave me the most up-to-date answer based on evidence. I knew then I finally met the right doctor. My husband and I were not only impressed with this knowledge and skills but also his office practice. We never had to wait more than five minutes for my scheduled appointments. When I had my test done, I was informed of the results by the afternoon. His staff did not make any errors in billing and I always made us feel like members of the family. Dr. Chin has always been pleasant and has always treated us with respect, for example answering questions with "Yes M'am". It is no wonder that, despite my age (40), I became pregnant on the first round of his treatment. Now my husband John and I cannot wait to see our first baby in February. Dr. Chin also found a good doctor for us for my obstetric needs related to delivery. In our last meeting, I asked Dr. Chin "You believe that meeting you was not a coincidence, right?" He said, "Yes, I believe that it was not a coincidence." I firmly believe that God works through good people like Dr. Chin. I know that if you have found him you are very blessed. Dr. Chin is one whom you can give your heart, and your hope will be fulfilled.

My husband and I wish you all the best,
