Dr. Chin is wonderful. She is very kind and made me very comfortable during my exam. She explained everything regarding a scraping that needed to be done and that she would call once she knew results and how to move forward. Thank you Dr. Chin and staff.

Excellent Dermatologist with a keen eye, and worth the 8 hour drive to her Crystal Lake office! Actually, I have to commend the staff too since I've never had a wait time that I can remember.
