Dr. Megan Chin graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Muhlenberg College and completed her dental degree at New York University College of Dentistry where she received high honors and was inducted into the OKU National Dental Honors Society.

She then moved to California where she completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at UCLA and worked for two years as a general practitioner in the San Francisco Bay Area, serving as Managing Dentist. After treating many children, her growing passion for pediatric dental care lead her back to the East Coast to pursue her certificate as a Pediatric Dental Specialist at Stony Brook University. There she served as Chief Resident and taught undergraduate dental students during their clinical studies.

Dr. Chin became Board Certified and is a current Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. She is on staff at Northwell-Lenox Hill Hospital. In addition, Dr. Chin is an Attending Dentist at Mount Sinai Hospital where she spends time teaching and training residents in the Pediatric Dental Residency program.

Always seeking to broaden her knowledge in the dental field and foster shared learning, Dr. Chin remains active in many study clubs and organizations, on both a local and national level. She currently serves as New York Chapter President of the American Association of Women Dentists. She is the author of several articles on pediatric dental topics. Most recently, she was interviewed as a dental expert for a featured article in the October 2018 issue of Parents Magazine. She has a strong commitment to community outreach and has done clinical and educational outreach locally, as well as abroad in India. Her goal is to make sure that all of her patients have a positive, fun and stress-free experience during each dental visit.

When not working, Dr. Chin embraces life in New York City where she enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and much-loved pets. Though she spends much of her time running after her son Lucas, an active toddler, she manages to find the time to do things she loves; she can be found seeking out new destinations for world travel, sampling new foods, and learning to play the guitar. Dr. Chin is an avid animal lover and supporter of animal rights; she regularly volunteers her time to care for animals in need with local charities like PAWS NY and New York Cares.
