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!

My experience with Dr. Lin was great. This was my second time getting a septoplasty and my second time around was a much much better experience. I was recommended to him as a surgeon specifically for corrective surgeries and everything from the follow ups to the recovery of the surgery was great.March 31, 2026

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Lin who did my rhinoplasty and septoplasty. The entire team was very helpful from start to finish. I am thrilled with the results so far in my healing journey.March 31, 2026

I saw the reviews and decided to make an appointment with Dr. Samuel Lin. I waited months for my appointment only to see his assistant. I was in the office for a good hour they took down my information and then tell me to make another appointment to see the doctor. I was surprised. I waited months for this appt. Now I had to schedule another appointment to see the doctor. I scheduled the appt anyway only to be told again I had to wait months. I scheduled the appt nonetheless. I got to my second appt and was late due to traffic and weather. I indicated could he at least see me for five minutes and was told no to reschedule. This game of seeing the assistant first and then scheduling another appt to see him is just a tactic to keep charging your insurance company for more money. I would rather see another doctor that cares more about their patients and not about money.March 31, 2026

In 2013, I had bariatric surgery . After losing 287 lbs I was referred to Dr Lin's office for reconstructive surgery for the excess skin on my abdomen. My first phone call was to Phyllis in scheduling. She was awesome to work with Answered all my questions in reference to what I needed to know prior to my appointment. When I came in for the first pre op appointment I met with the incredible staff. Jamie was Very helpful. She took the photos to track the before and after phones. Once me surgery date was given to me, The patient portable was a valuable asset to use to follow all appointments and correspondence with the Team! The day of surgery could not have been better. The surgery was a success. I had the drains removed the following week. The 5 week check up showed the majority of my successful "look" on the abdominal area. I am 48 years old and feel like i have a new lease on life. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Dr. Lin and his team as your care providers, will, without a doubt, have a successful outcome!March 17, 2026

I had a breast reduction with Dr. Lin and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the consultation to the surgery and follow-ups, he was incredibly professional, patient, and caring. The entire staff was wonderful as well. He answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. My results look amazing and have truly improved my quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. Lin to anyone considering a breast reduction!March 17, 2026

It was a long journey since I started trying to improve my breathing. I had two previous surgeries that unfortunately did nothing. The doctors at Beth Israel — Dr. Caradona was the first who told me that the surgery should be done by a plastic surgeon, because my problem wasn’t only related to breathing but also involved the cartilage, which he wouldn’t address since it was the tip of my nose. Dr. Lee examined me, took into consideration everything I was going through with these issues, and did an excellent job. His team was truly amazing with me, providing great care. Today, I can say that I’m finally breathing well. For the first time, I can rinse my nose with saline water and feel what others used to describe — that it comes out the other side. I had never experienced that before. So I’m very happy with Dr. Li and his entire team.March 03, 2026

Dr. Samuel Lin did an absolute amazing job on my surgery- breast lift. His kindness, thorough evaluation, compassion and absolute TALENT made my entire journey an amazing experience. The surgery itself was an absolute success- I look 10 years younger. His entire team is as wonderful as he is. I cannot recommend Dr. Lin enough (and his team). I am just sorry I didn't do this procedure sooner.February 24, 2026

Dr. Linn and his staff were extremely friendly and professional to work with. Dr. Linn is kind, attentive to questions and makes you feel at ease, in addition to being an excellent surgeon. I am a nurse with day surgery background and I am extremely pleased with my results and would highly recommend him to others. His support staff was always patient, polite and professional and available with questions. Lastly, the communication amongst the nurses, residents, receptionist and surgeon was superb and is very efficient.February 17, 2026
