• Dr. Chynn responds and explains why you would want the no-flap procedure follow-up conversation with Timothy D. (November 12, 2008)

  Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

  Dr. Chynn:
  I appreciate your response to my inquiries; but to be honest, I have likely chosen an eye doctor that will perform LASIK surgery on my eyes. I had a consultation with Dr. Raymond Fong — you may have heard his name. He is well known in the Asian community in Chinatown. Also I have […]

• Dr. Chynn tries to prevent future tragedies at the marathon

  Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

  3. Conductive […]
