I am a patient of Dr. Shinn who is 10yrs post. I lost 135 lbs and in 10 years I have put 15lbs back on. He was a wonderful surgeon during my gastric and just as wonderful when I had emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer. He is my go to surgeon for everything. Great bedside manner, compassionate and attentive.

Qualifying for the Gastric Sleeve was embarassing for me as a 32 year old female. I knee I needed to seek help because I had tried so many diets before (no at which was I successful). After speaking with several Doctors and nurses I decided to see Dr. Shin. He made me feel very comfortable and explained the process thoroughly. I am 2.5 years old with a total weight loss of 126 pounds. I started my journey wearing a size 22/24 snd today a size 6. I am off my blood pressure medication and my vitals are great! If you are considering changing your life, go see Dr. Shin. Change your life for you knowing your in great hands.

Very pleased with Dr Shin's all around care and compassion with me and my family. He explained all procedures and all options to me and my family. The office staff from front desk, dietitian, nurses, PA's, to Dr Shin was courteous, professional, and very supportive through out all of my appointments.

He isn't very courteous to overweight people, at least he wasn't to me, which is odd since he's a weight loss surgeon. He's made me feel bad about myself several times & im now finding a new doctor.

Dr. Shinn has the best bedside manner I have ever seen in a physician. He spent time with me, answered all my questions and concerns. I had no fear going into surgery and it has been the best decision I ever made. I love Dr. Shinn.
