In. C. Shin's Online Review Report Card

My brother had eye cancer. He did the surgery at 9:00 pm!! Was finished around 11:00 pm! That is way too late to be operating on someone! He came out and told us he got it all. I hugged his neck and told him thank you over and over again. My other brother was with me and he shook his hand and told him thank you several times as well. NOPE! My brother was in severe pain and we went back to him several times only to be told that he wasn't in pain and that he didn't believe in prescribing pain medicine! After several more times seeing him, this idiot told me and my brother that we should be kissing his feet for what he did and that we were the most ungrateful people he had ever seen! YES, he did say that to us!! No lie! We then went to Birmingham eye doctors up there and have seen many to finally be told that Dr. Shin did not get all the cancer and now my brother has to have his eye removed because the cancer is wrapped all around the eye including the eye lid and nerves.

Dr Shin did my cataract surgery a few years ago. Something wasn't corrected, & I had to go back for additional procedure. My problem with Dr Shin is that I had a reaction to the steroid drops that he prescribed after surgery. When I told him, he exploded! Told me that was impossible & literally SCREAMED at me for several minutes to the point that I was crying. (I'm in my 70s & not a weak person). He could be heard in all exam rooms. He stormed out leaving me appalled at his lack of professionalism. Would absolutely never recommend this "doctor".

Saw Dr Shin instead of my Dr Swan. He rushed through the appointment, seemed irritated and talked down to me. Trimmed sutures in my cornea, and hurt quite a bit, which never happened with Dr Swan.

Dr. Shin is an excellent Ophthalmologist. He has a genuine concern for his patients, he welcomes your questions and explains what and why he will be doing. He is very professional and friendly. I give him 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

Please do not use Dr Shinn. He performed cataract surgery on me and inserted an incorrect prescription lens in my eye and admitted it. Rather than offering to replace the incorrect lens, he said he would “laser” my eye to try and repair it which is not a viable option for restoring vision. I opted to go to UAB Callahan Eye hospital to restore my vision. Since, I’ve heard of two more patients of his that have had the same experience with Dr. Shin His mistake cost me over $3000 out of pocket to rectify. I’m just glad UAB was able to rectify his mistake.

I’ve been going to Dr. Shin many years now. Just love him! Made my eyesight come back after a bad surgery somewhere else. Thank you Dr Shin.

Having Lasik eye surgery was one of the best decision I’ve made to correct my vision. I see better and clearly than I have in a very long time. Thanks to Dr. Shin and his team making me feel very comfortable and secure doing my surgery ????.

Dr Chin performed my LASIK eye surgery. He did a great job explaining everything and patiently answered all my questions both before and after surgery. The support staff was very nice and I liked the fact that during the surgery a lady told me everything that was going on right before or while it was happening.

Professional and very courteous. Treatment was truly individualized and made the iLASIK procedure more comfortable overall.

You can expect a wait when you go see Dr. Shin but he's worth it. He's kind, thorough and an expertise in his field.
