I am very pleased with the results of my procedure with Dr. Lin. From the very start, he answered all of my questions and was easy to communicate with. I felt very comfortable and safe in his hands, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, kind, and warm doctor.
I had Dr. Lin for two different cosmetic procedures and I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking into getting cosmetics done. From the very beginning it was an incredible experience. He was always very helpful and patient in answering all the questions I asked him (there was over 30!) and he is great at making you feel comfortable and heard. One of the things I loved about him is he doesn't sugarcoat things to you and explains everything in as many different ways as you need so you fully understand everything. He gives you the best advice so that you may have the best possible outcomes. He checks in with you many times before surgery to make sure you are feeling good about your decision and is always reachable to you. The day of surgery went so smoothly. He has the very best team that takes care of everything from the IVs to placing the marks so that you are the least stressed as possible. I had no complications and I am in love with the results. I am in awe everyday with my new body and it is all thanks to Dr. Lin!
I am writing this letter as a follow up to my daughter, Angela’s, Rhinoplasty and deviated septum surgery in August. Knowing that you have so many patients, I will try to familiarize you with her situation. She had, at this point in time, just completed her freshman year in college and was about to transfer to San Francisco. She came to you primarily to have nose surgery. As a parent, I always believed that my daughter was a beautiful young woman. However, my husband and I supported her in her decision to have her nose “fixed”. She had a minor bump and had been the subject of bullying in high school and middle school because of her nose. As bright and as talented as my daughter was, her confidence in her appearance and in other aspects of her life had been compromised. She had a very successful surgery at your gifted hands. You were able to repair her deviated septum but, more importantly, you were able to shave down the bump and sculpt her nose. What a beautiful job! She just graduated, Cum-Laude, from college with a degree in Public Relations/Political Science. She is staying in San Francisco and has a job with a communications firm. I recently asked her what professor made the biggest impact on her college career and she quickly replied that, “It wasn’t a professor; it was Dr. Lin”. She went on to tell me in a mother/daughter conversation that Dr. Lin “made me realize that I wasn’t ugly”. This comment tugged at my heartstrings, but I wanted you to know that you were directly responsible for restoring her confidence in herself. We are very proud of her as she begins her career. She is a happy, vibrant, and accomplished young woman. You were a huge part of her success! Hope that all in well with you. Enclosed is a picture of her at her graduation. Thank you for your part in her happiness! Thank you so very much for your brilliant work!
I just wanted to extend my sincere thanks for the compassionate and skillful care you-and your team-have provided my spouse during her nose reconstruction. I have watched her regain her confidence, and spirit, with each healing day that passes. It is thanks to your skill that she did not have to go through the forehead flap procedure, and thanks to you that she is healing beautifully! Your caring and gentle nature transformed her nervousness and uncertainty into courage and confidence. Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do!
My visit to you on July 14 turned out to be bittersweet! I am thrilled at how well my nose healed – however, every time I visited your office it was a shot in the arm. You and your staff could not have been more supportive and encouraging. I will be forever grateful.
During my last two visits with you, there was so much for me to process with my new nose, that I never thanked you properly for all that you did. I could not be happier with the results. For the first time, I can breathe and the cosmetic outcome is perfection. You cannot see the suture line! Your work is impeccable. I am very grateful to you, and it will be a pleasure to recommend you to my friends and colleagues.
Dear Dr. Lin,
I really appreciate the time and effort you took into making my nose surgery a success. You made me feel so comfortable and I couldn’t be happier with my results! Thank you for helping me get my confidence back. You are truly an incredible doctor.
Thank you so much for the great work you did on my breast reduction. I can’t tell you how much happier (not to mention easier) my life is now, and I have you to thank. I have been recommending you to everyone who asks, and I will continue to do so. Keep up the great work!
When I took off the bandages and the surgical bra and looked in the mirror, for the first time since my mastectomy cancer was not looking back at me. Thank you so much. I am proud and always have been to be a cancer survivor. It is like a badge of honor that reminds me when I doubt myself I can do whatever I have to. However before the surgery I didn’t feel like I looked the same. Not only am I proud to say I am a breast cancer survivor, but I also thanks to you look better than I did before. May God bless you and your family. Please enjoy the cookies that my daughter and I made. Thanks again.
Just wanted to drop a quick line to tell you how grateful I am for your recently performed surgery. I feel fantastic, look awesome and only wish I had done it sooner. A-One service by all. Thank you so much. I am forever grateful.
I’m so grateful for all you’ve done for me this year – thank you. Merry Christmas!

I had a terrific experience with my staged breast reduction and bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction at this practice. The staff at the front desk, the nurses, PAs and Dr. Lin took excellent care of me through multiple procedures. I'd recommend this team and Beth Israel to anyone in my position. thank you to a great team!July 22, 2025

The most caring staff! I was treated with respect and dignity throughout the process it was a total partnership. My needs were always top priority. Thank you to Cally and the entire staff for always being the best cheerleaders. It is a journey and was glad that I had Dr. Lin as my doctor and guide.July 22, 2025
Dr Lin was a lifesaver, I couldn’t breathe at all out of my nose and he did a procedure and I can breathe again it’s amazing! I have started running again because it’s just made such a huge difference. I highly recommend Dr. Lynn for any nasal surgery.July 15, 2025
The process was very smooth. Everyone were very nice and caring. Made sure I feel okay before and after the surgery. All staff, including Dr. Lin, were very gentle and kept my privacy throughout the whole process. I'm very pleased with the results and the scar is not as visible as I thought it will be. So far it looks aesthetic and flat.July 15, 2025
I had a great experience with Dr. Lin and the entire team at Beth Israel! Dr. Lin was very clear and answered all my questions. His bedside manner was warm and he was very patient and skilled throughout the whole process. I have already recommended Dr. Lin to friends interested in a plastic surgery procedure!July 08, 2025
I had my surgery in January, 2025. Everything about the procedure was wonderful. All my questions were answered with clarity. Dr. Lin was amazing and very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to undergo this procedureJuly 08, 2025
I had my breast reduction surgery back in January of 2025, and I can't be any happier. Dr. Lin is amazing and I felt super comfortable with him and along with his staff. This was my first surgery and he made me feel very comfortable. Thank you so much Dr. Lin I truly appreciate you!July 08, 2025
I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Lin and staff. I has a double mastectomy and implant reconstruction about five years ago and had some complications with one of my implants. I loved my surgeon at that time, but he relocated to another city. I came to see Dr. Lin based on glowing recommendations that I read...everywhere! Great experience from start to finish: I was able to get in for a consult fairly quickly and schedule my surgery in a timely manner as well. All of the nurses, residents, and staff were friendly, well-informed, and took time to answer my questions and concerns about my surgery, scheduling was easy, calls answered promptly, and (it's a small thing comparatively) but the location and parking were easy versus the charade at many other city hospitals. Dr. Lin has a wonderful bedside manner to go along with his skills as a surgeon...which isn't always the case! Very easy to talk to and approachable, Imy appointments never felt rushed, never kept me waiting, and he anticipated and allayed all of my concerns about the procedure. Most importantly I am thrilled with my results and so glad I stopped putting off this revision surgery. If you are looked for a great doctor and staff, look no further. In a town full of excellent options for medical care, I would definitely come back to Dr. Lin in the future should the need arise.July 01, 2025
Great experience with doctor Lynn, did not experience anything I wasn’t told for recovery. The first week after surgery is rough but after the splints are out breathing is improved greatly. Some drainage also happens throughout healing but nothing that hurts. No severe pain throughout the entire process as long as saline rinse and proper care is done. Overall great experience.June 24, 2025
