I've put both of my girls in braces at Dr. Chins office. They seriously OVERBOOK daily, making the wait time extremely long, plan an 1.5hours+ per visit before they even call your child for the first time. (They all have to be called twice, once to see the nurse so she can change wires, then they wait for the doctor to look at them) The office is filthy and rundown, they dont encourage good hygiene, and worst of all they basically STOLE a cash payment I made to them to pay off my daughters braces, they provided a receipt which they are now saying is invalid after saying at her last visit it was theirs, it doesn't matter that my mom was present when i made the payment, they are refusing to do anything, forcing us to REPAY $350 or they won't remove her braces. Never in my life have I disliked a doctor more. I do NOT recommend this doctors office, my experience from start to finish has been one massive headache after another. Save your time, teeth and wallet and find a good doctor.
