Brief Intro

Dr. Chin, a native of New Jersey, joined our laser eye surgery practice in Westwood, New Jersey in 1995. After graduating from the highly renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the New Jersey Medical School, he finished his Ophthalmology training at New York University. In order to fine tune his surgical skills, Dr. Chin completed a fellowship in cataract and refractive surgery at the Gimbel Eye Centre in Calgary, Canada. Dr. Patrick Chin is certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He has been an assistant professor at NYU where he was involved with teaching eye surgery to future ophthalmologists. He has been performing laser vision correction and eye surgery in New Jersey since 1994. He handles many complex cases and is one of the first eye surgeons in New Jersey to use the "no needle" cataract surgery technique. He has published numerous scientific articles and lectured extensively at scientific conferences as well as taught many eye surgeons throughout New Jersey advanced cataract surgery techniques and laser vision correction. In his spare time, Dr. Chin is an avid triathlete and has completed an Ironman distance race. He also enjoys skiing and scuba diving with his family.
