Dr. Kingsley R Chin feels blessed to be a professor and orthopedic spine surgeon who came from humble beginnings.  Born in Buff Bay Portland Jamaica he completed high school at Titchfield in Port Antonio Jamaica.  He excelled at soccer and academics, which earned him a spot on the Jamaica Junior National Football team and a scholarship to Columbia University in New York City where he graduated President of the Student Government and Ivy League Player of the Year in soccer. Academically he earned degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics. He loves to teach students as a professor at Florida International University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of Technology (UTECH) in Kingston Jamaica.

He is the first Jamaican-born honors graduate of Harvard Medical School.  He spent 10 years at Harvard to complete his medical degree, an internship, residency, and fellowship specialized in orthopedic reconstructive surgery to be an expert.  He went to Cleveland to specialize in spine surgery before he joined the University of Pennsylvania as the Chief Spine Surgeon and Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery. In 2007 he moved to South Florida to start the Institute for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (IMIS) which later became The LESS Institute and is now the LES CLINIC. Our vision is to build a world class center of excellence for outpatient spine and orthopedics so patients can have the least invasive surgeries we defined as less exposure surgery (LES) that are safe, effective, and affordable.  We take pride in caring for our patients, inventing new patented treatments, and publishing the results of our treatment in journals for other doctors and patients to learn. We hope you will research us and listen to our patients give their testimonials on their results.  Patients like Chris Gayle a world class Jamaican cricketer whose career was in jeopardy, so he came to Dr. Chin who performed spine surgery to save his back in September 2015 and in December 2015 he won the Gold Cup in Australia and today is fully active and pain free.  We strive to give all patients an improved active lifestyle after our treatment.
