Vision Meets Art at
Dr. Chinn's Vision Care

At Dr. Chinn's Vision Care, the connection to the San Diego community is brought to life through a pioneering collaboration with local artists. This unique program, initiated by Stephen Chinn, OD, and his daughter Jennifer Chinn, OD, merges the world of eyecare with the local art scene. Artists like Erin Bowman, Sarah Ann, and Sandra Escobar contribute their designs to limited edition lens cloths, receiving essential eyecare in exchange. This not only showcases the diverse cultural fabric of San Diego, particularly the North Park area but also underlines the Chinns' dedication to supporting local talent. Their endeavor illustrates a deep-rooted belief in nurturing the community's creative spirit while highlighting the transformative power of art and vision.

Dr. Chinn is wonderful. He puts you at ease. He is extremely knowledgeable and gave me a great eye examination. Dr. Chinn saw something in my eye pictures and immediately sent over the films to a retinal specialist. The girls who work the front and initial examinations were also wonderful and friendly. Overall, highly recommend Dr. Chinn for a great eye exam.

They are very friendly and efficient. They used Slack to communicate with each other as I moved through the various stages of the eye exam. I was in and out in no time with another positive experience.

Dr. Chinn and her office staff have been my favorite healthcare professionals in the entire 11 years I have lived in San Diego now. She is extremely detail-oriented and she goes out of her way to address all of the concerns I have had over the years in regards to my eyesight. Her office staff are upbeat, knowledgeable, prompt, and thoughtful in every single interaction I've had over all the years that I've interacted with them. I give my highest recommendation to anyone looking for an eyecare doctor who goes above and beyond every visit to make sure your health is the top priority.
