Dy Chin, DPM

Dr. Chin always knew he wanted to help others through medicine. His academic counselor—who was also a podiatrist—first introduced him to the field. They connected through a shared faith and similar upbringing, and his mentorship left a lasting impact. Later, while shadowing a local podiatrist, Dr. Chin witnessed the meaningful difference podiatry made in patients’ lives, and knew this was the path he was meant to follow.

What excites him most about foot and ankle surgery is the diversity and complexity of pathology; particularly conditions involving instability, trauma, and deformity because they often require thoughtful, individualized surgical planning. Dr. Chin enjoys the challenge of tailoring treatments to meet each patient’s needs. The most rewarding part is seeing the tangible impact that corrective surgery can have on restoring a patient’s function and quality of life.

Dr. Chin holds a special interest in minimally-invasive techniques, particularly for bunion correction and deformity reconstruction in both the forefoot and rearfoot.  He is certified in foot and ankle arthroscopy, and has also completed fundamental and advanced training in peripheral nerve surgery.

Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children, exploring new state and national parks., hiking, cooking, and sharing meals together. Dr. Chin and his family are also actively involved in  their church community, which continues to be an important source of support and inspiration in their lives.
