UNPARALLELED, UNRUSHED GYNECOLOGIC CARE
At Chinn GYN, we believe that health & healing are directly related to the relationship a woman has with her care provider. We believe that each woman is a unique & complex individual & that each situation requires a novel approach. We do not believe that all women are equal, & we do not believe in a reductionist style of medicine that views women as conditions, or that treats their concerns only in the context of their reproductive parts. We view you as a human with many inter-related parts & pieces, one of which happens to be a vagina, & we are specialty trained to care for your vagina as much as we are to care for your heart. We believe in a truly integrative approach that takes into account the multi-faceted being that you are. We also believe that the healing process begins with sharing your story with other people who care. We offer our patients service that you simply will not find in other medical practices. Foremost among the amenities we provide is a model of care that is designed for women, by women, & is applicable to women in all phases & stages of life. We offer female biology-specific services, & we recognize that there is no adequate substitute for dedicated, genuine face-to-face time between patient & provider for discussion of important issues. We want to reserve sufficient time for your visit. You will not be rushed. All your questions will be answered.
