I’m from Penshurst and when my dad started radiation therapy with Prof Chin at Waratah Private Hospital, I could tell we were in good hands. Clear explanations, no jargon, and a genuine calmness that helped us get through the anxious days. Follow-ups have been thorough and his team is so responsive.
Very grateful for Prof Chin’s approach to my treatment. He took the time to outline options and what to expect week by week. The clinic staff at Hurstville were friendly, and I felt supported from the first consult to the final follow-up.
Relieved to find a specialist who explains everything in plain English. The radiation sessions were well organised, and Prof Chin checked in after each treatment. It made a scary process feel manageable, especially with all the questions I had about symptoms.
I’m from Miranda and was impressed with Prof Chin’s professionalism and bedside manner. He listened to my concerns about side effects and worked with me on a plan that kept me active. Would highly recommend to anyone needing radiation therapy.
As a patient in the St George area, I appreciated the accessibility of the Waratah Private Hospital team. Prof Chin explained the treatment timeline clearly and the symptom management advice helped me stay comfortable during the course.
From the initial consultation to follow-ups, Prof Chin showed genuine care. The treatment was explained in detail and I felt confident in the plan. The staff at Dora Street were friendly and respectful of my time.
Grateful for a thoughtful radiation oncologist. Prof Chin listened to my concerns about Mandarin-language resources and ensured I had the right information. The results and ongoing support have been really reassuring.
