Providence Patient
Brian was the best doctor that I encounter at Providence.
Providence Patient
It was my first experience with Dr. Shin, and it was pleasant.
Providence Patient
This care provider was confident, knowledgeable and easy to speak with
Providence Patient
Dr Shin was extremely helpful and answered any questions - I would highly recommend him to others
Providence Patient
I saw Brian Shin because my primary had retired (Dr. Huston). The previous 3 weeks I had spent at Saddleback Hospital so Dr. Shin did not have access to that information. He listened carefully to my wife and I as we described the entire 3 weeks spent in Saddleback.
Providence Patient
Dr Shin is excellent! Very thorough and listens to all of my input
Providence Patient
Organized, efficient and good clear information and instructions
Providence Patient
Listened to concerns and went beyond to evaluate the medications I had concerns about.
Providence Patient
Visit for my annual physical... I had seen Dr. Houston for about 40 year..This was my first visit with Dr. Shin , I was well pleased..
Providence Patient
Will return to this Urgent Care facility for any medical needs in the future.
Providence Patient
I like Dr. Shin very much! He is attentive, thorough, easy to talk with, and knowledgeable. He makes me feel like I am important! Thank you for providing this doctor to me.
Providence Patient
Easy, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable.
Providence Patient
Dr Shin was nice but this was my second visit with him and it was rushed again. He does not know my medicsl history including my diet (no meat). He was explaining my lab result which showed pre diabetic telling me I should eat more meat. He wanted to give me a prescription to lower A1c rather than modify diet to eat less sugar/carbs. Rushed calls did not allow time to discuss options
Providence Patient
New GP, so we are still getting acquainted.
Providence Patient
I have spoken with your staff three time regarding my visit with Dr. Shin. Front office was great, nurse was great, but Dr. Shin was a bad experience. He was rushed and seemed as though he just wanted to get to the next patient. He said the nurse took too long (not true) and we only had 12 minutes left. I experienced a focal point seizure while my blood work was being taken. He met with me after and told me that it wasn't a seizure, did not look at my elevated blood pressure or have me rest and take my blood pressure again to assure I was ok. I wrote him a message on mychart that I now see is now gone. He said he forwarded it to staff. Please read his response. I called the first time after the appointment to see what he thought I had since he believed it was not a seizure and I needed what my blood pressure was the second time they took it so I could tell my neurologist. According to the staff, Dr. Shin said that If I needed follow up to call 911 or go to urgent care. The second time staff called me Dr. Shin said he doesn't give out his personal number. I never would ask a doctor to do that. I think it was an excuse or a way out from responding. In his follow-up message on mychart, he said if I have any questions to make another appointment and it can be with with another provider. He also said that he cant make calls from the office during work hours. I do have some questions about my blood work I would like to have answered. I would prefer not to have Dr. Shin do my follow up care.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
Dr. Shin is fantastic and so informative
Providence Patient
Excellent care fro. DR. Shin.
Providence Patient
Very good
Providence Patient
Doctor didn't aSk me how I was feeling or if I had any current medical issues that he needed to be aware of or that I was concerned with. Just seemed to want to go through a pre-set list of questions and check list.
Providence Patient
Great Doctor, recalled our previous discussions and was knowledgeable about the state of my health.
Providence Patient
My visit was very professional. The staff and doctor were courteous and helpful. My questions were answered and instructions explained.
Providence Patient
This was our first time to meet so we spent time getting to know each other. He was open, friendly and listened to my issues. Very Good.
Providence Patient
My previous doctor retired so this was my first experience with this new doctor.
Providence Patient
I've been a patient at this location since it originally opened about 30 years ago. It's now becoming increasingly difficult to get an appointment with your primary care doctor. They are 6 months out for physical visits etc. You can get in sooner if you sign up for a concierge service! I feel that is too much for most people. Other than that the service you do get there is very good.
Providence Patient
My provider was Dr. Susan Lee and has been for several years. It has been difficult to schedule any appointments with her. I needed a physical exam done for my employer. I asked to for an appointment with any doctor for the soonest available date. I was assigned Dr. Shin and I am glad that I did. He was within my age group and I feel like he was able to relate to my medical issues. He was personable and informative about what I asked him about. I feel like what he recommended was life changing for me. After I left the room, I saw the receptionist at the front desk to schedule a lab blood draw. Because I was happy with Dr. Shin, I asked to be reassigned to him as my primary provider.
Providence Patient
Dr Shin was thorough and friendly. Professional provider
Providence Patient
He was very good. Professional and friendly. This visit was a pre op visit. Will be having knee surgery on July [Date] Surgeon wanted clearance from Dr. Shin for surgery.

New to him looking for a new PCP. I think I will stick with him.
Providence Patient

Providence Patient

Providence Patient
Dr. Shin is very thorough. He provided test results (and even called) during weekend to make sure I am well taken care of.
Providence Patient
Bad
Providence Patient
Dr. Shin made me feel safe and comfortable discussing my medical stuff. I can tell he actually cares about his patients and I'm so glad I found him. My husband also has Dr Shin as his primary physician and he also loves him!
Providence Patient
It dose not seem that anyone cares about the patients or clients, 3 girls in the front and 5 in the back just talking and doing nothing much, Dr seemed that he wants to fill his hours and get rid of you, he did not even do the physical exam, all he did was reading a list of questions and recording it. He finally agreed to do a physical exam but like he was forced to do it, I have never seen such examination, He seemed that he was avoiding to tough the patient, he said we don't have time for it and when he did it it took only 3 to 5 minuts. I am not going back there anymore and will find a new pcp who cares about his important profession.
Providence Patient
Saw Dr. Shin as Dr. Huston retired. Dr. Shin was a calm, kind, intelligent man. Liked his demeanor and he walked me out to the waiting room at the end of my visit.

This provider is new to me as I am new to this area. I was very impressed with the fact that you had all my previous records and started from that point. I needed an approval for my prescription for blood pressure, also had extreme pain in my leg and foot, also needed a referral for therapy to help me keep my balance to prevent falls. Very pleased with you all.

I was given very good and frank advise that made perfect sense to me
