Testimonials


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!

Dr. Lin and his staff were wonderful. Everyone was very knowledgeable and friendly and my results were indicative of this. I was given all the necessary information upfront and felt very cared for and well looked after during the entire process. I’m thrilled with the end results and highly recommend Dr. Lin. I especially loved how many times he reached out to answer any questions and address any concerns.

Dr. Lin is an amazing surgeon. My experience with him and his team was extremely positive. Dr. Lin is kind, courteous, and took the time to answer all of my questions. On the day of surgery he made me feel comfortable and confident about the operation. After surgery I was able to speak to the nursing staff whenever I had questions or concerns. I am thrilled by my results. My neck and back pain are gone! I highly recommend Dr. Lin!

I came to see Dr Lin when my post reconstruction breasts weren't feeling or looking their best. Dr Lin helped me to come up with a surgical plan which he carried out with great skill 2 months ago. I am happy to say that my breasts look and feel great! The team at Dr Lin's office and the surgical team were all wonderful- listening to my concerns and answering my questions before and after surgery. Great experience!

I thought about having breast reduction surgery for 10 years, a friend recommended Dr Lin, and the experience was nothing short of awesome! I am at the 6 week point of my recovery, and the results are amazing! No more back, neck, and shoulder pain, and all clothes fit so much better. The recovery process was so much easier than I thought, the only regret is that I waited so long to do this. Dr Lin and his team made this such a positive experience with their compassion, professionalism, and skill. I would highly recommend Dr Lin for this procedure if you are considering having a reduction, you will nothing but pleased with your results. A big thank you to Dr Lin and his team for all that you did to help me achieve such a wonderful outcome!!

I wanted to share my experience of my Septoplasty with Dr. Samuel Lin. Throughout the process and in the recovery period, Dr. Lin and his team were all very communicative and respectful. As for the procedure itself, I could not be happier with the outcome. I initially broke my nose in basketball 8 ish years prior and had not been able to breathe through my nose. It was to the point that I honestly forgot people used their nose to breathe. After the surgery I can now not only breathe through my nose but I can take full breaths through my nose. I am very happy that I decided to have Dr. Lin be the surgeon to fix my nose.

I have a very good experience with Dr. Lin. He is very professional, kind and caring, has great work ethic. He answers all the questions. Dr. Lin spends as much time with the patient as necessary. I will highly recommend him to everyone who needs it.

Bozhena Kogan
First off, working with Dr. Lin and his team was wonderful. My experience was nothing but positive. I had a very unique case with complications from a previous septoplasty due to a broken nose. I had a large buildup of scar tissue and other various issues. It took years to find a surgeon and a course to pursue. It was well worth the wait. Dr. Lin & team were insightful, kind, and made the process easy; and unsurprisingly the procedure went smoothly and the results were excellent. Huge thanks to Dr. Lin & his team.

I took a Virtual rotation with Dr. Lin during January 2024. I'm from Mexico, and during this month we took Zoom Classes about diverse topics in plastic surgery, that were pretty awesome. Some people may think that taking a rotation from your home, in a Zoom format, could be no interesting and lack of importance, but taking lectures from Dr. Lin, have the opportunity to ask him questions and have a little talk about the topics, was an amazing experience, that I 100% recommend to any student, professional medical doctor or IMG that has the opportunity to take it and have a path in plastic surgery. I feel like another doctor after this experience, and that without hesitations, I feel that Dr. Lin it's one of the best plastic surgeons in all over America, and maybe the world. Thanks a lot for what you teach me Dr. Lin, keep doing that incredible magic you do as a surgeon. Regards, Eduardo Alonso

Dr. Lin did a fantastic job! I'm very pleased with the results of my septoplasty and rhinoplasty. I haven't been able to fully breathe out of left nostril for over 20 years! I'm not bothered everytime I look in the mirror or into the lense of a camera because my nose is straight now! Thank you 🙂

I put off getting a septoplasty for about 5 years despite knowing i desperately needed one. I'd spend all day complaining about how tired I was because I wasn't sleeping, id wake up 8,10 times a night, I was always stuffy and couldn't breathe and it was driving me insane. I Finally gave in, even though the idea of surgery scared me. Reader if you are on the fence please take the leap. The most pain I felt was 1/10. I haven't woken up more than twice a night since my surgery. Feels like a fogs been lifted and I can think straight again now that I can sleep well. If all I had gained was that one first breath of air after the stints were removed it would have still been worth it.
