Christopher H. Shin, MD - Huntington Beach (CA)

5 /5 Eric Johnston: Dr. Shin is an excellent doctor. Ive been seeing him for a couple of years now. Hes very attentive, informed, responsive, caring, up-to-date. He works with you collaboratively to come up with the best health solutions for you as an individual. Hes a good listener and partner. I highly recommend him.

1 /5 Rustam O: I had to wait three months for a new patient appointment with Dr. Christopher H. Shin. During my visit, I noticed that he spent more time typing on his keyboard than actually engaging in a conversation to understand my health concerns. He seemed overwhelmed, rushing between patients, yet still accepting new ones. Dr. Shin did not take a proactive approach to diagnosing my condition. Instead of investigating the root cause, he appeared focused on just completing the visit. He was willing to prescribe serious medications based solely on a brief verbal discussion, without deeper evaluation or considering the patient’s age. When my insurance denied a requested service, there was no follow-up effort to appeal or reassess the necessity of the diagnostic. Additionally, communication with this office is extremely difficult—messages go unanswered for over a week, and phone calls result in 30-minute hold times with no guarantee of speaking to the doctor. After everything I went through, Dr. Shin ultimately recommended that I find another primary care physician. To me, this felt like a scam—after months of waiting and a frustrating experience, I was simply told to go elsewhere. Overall, my experience was disappointing, and I would not recommend this practice to those seeking thorough and attentive medical care.

5 /5 Julie L: New patient. Was seeking a primary care provider, office staff were exceptionally warm and helpful. Dr. Shin was thorough, conscientious and knowledgeable.

5 /5 Marilyn Grangruth: I just adore this wonderful Dr. I’m so thankful that he cares and is so attentive. Thank you Dr Shin for all you have done to encourage me and for taking so much time with my health issues.

1 /5 Araceli Blanco: I have chronic issues and chose Dr. Shin based on excellent reviews on both Google and the Cigna app. I saw him about my HCG levels and he was dismissive and had no clue about ovulation or the basics of female reproductive systems. Also, I asked for a psych referral because I needed medication. The place he referred me was not accepting new patients. I messaged Dr. Shin for a new referral to get on psych meds. Ten days later, zero response and I am now in the ER for crisis management. These two meetings were coupled with his constant absence, which meant that I saw his colleagues and not him. He matched nothing of the reviews and I am very disappointed that I ended up in the ER for mania when I was attempting to be preventative.
