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!
Thank you for the terrific care you’ve provided me. Your calm demeanor, realistic approach was exactly what we needed in the early days of my diagnosis. The meticulous work that you performed leaves us forever in your debt. Your skills and those of your team are amazing! Best wishes to you and yours for a Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year.
The reason I want to write you this card is to thank you for all you’ve done for me, during this journey in my life. But now that I’ve started to write about my gratitude, I realize that I can’t really think of words that are sufficient to convey my thankfulness. This time has been so scary for me, and your compassion and kindness toward me has been so reassuring and soothing. I can’t even tell you how much it’s meant to me. The patience and good humor you displayed in reading my letters prior to my surgery….Obviously, I have control issues! Even though I’m the patient, and you are the doctor, you always make me feel that I’m part of the team. I’m sure that in this career of yours you have come to grasp an understanding of what a woman’s breasts can mean to her; they are a somewhat sacred part of her body and self. I don’t think I even understood this until I was faced with having mine removed, due to cancer. The option of reconstruction has been one beacon of hope; the only lighthouse guiding me to a port, while I weather this storm. It’s been rough, but to carry the metaphor forward, my ship is strong, and I thank God for your light! I know I’ll be stronger at the end of all this. But what would I have done without you and your staff? I don’t know. Considering I’m having my hysterectomy next week it’s been one assault after another on my womanhood! Because of you, I know I can look forward to a future, where I’ll be having some sense of my female identity restored to me. And someday this crisis will be over, and I can help others who face the same kind of storms.

It has been 13 years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was when I met Dr. Lin and I have been with him ever since. It has been a journey but Dr. Lin and his staff have been with me every step of the way. From my first visit with Dr. Lin when he took the time to explain all of my options to this visit today, I have always felt cared for and in the best hands. I had to have my left breast removed and I opted for a silicone implant. The initial expander was defective and I had to redo the surgery to put a new one in which added another 6-8 weeks to my reconstruction. Through the entire reconstructive process, Dr. Lin and his team were excellent. I was, and still am, very pleased with the results of their work. I was only 43 at the time of my diagnosis. I am 56 now and just had a reduction on my right breast so that it would match my left breast. I am very pleased with the outcome and feel like a new woman! I now have many more options on what I can wear since my breasts are symmetrical and even. I can't thank Dr. Lin and his staff enough! Although it was difficult to go through everything I have, Dr. Lin and his team allowed me to feel like a beautiful woman. They are not only experts in their field but they treat you as a person, with compassion, dignity and respect.March 28, 2023
I attended the Virtual Surgical Programme conducted by Dr Lin.This excellent flexible learning experience included guided reading and Questionnaires in preparation for the surgical videos which Dr Lin attended in person and directed the Q and A sessions. The facetime with Dr Lin was a unique opportunity to speak with a busy Surgeon about his daily work.March 15, 2023
I can finally breathe out of my nose! A punch to the face in middle school left me with a severely deviated septum. I'm 6 weeks post-op and I feel absolutely fantastic. I met with 4 surgeons before deciding to work with Dr. Lin and I'm quite happy with the decision. Communication and bedside manner were fantastic, results are borderline miraculous, and I experienced very little pain. 10 out of 5 stars.March 10, 2023
Dr. Lin's virtual rotation in plastic surgery is an outstanding learning opportunity for medical and graduated students interested in pursuing a career in plastic surgery. His expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment to education make him an exceptional mentor and teacher.March 06, 2023
I saw Dr. Lin after having a bad experience with another surgeon years ago . My original surgery was to fix a severe deviated septum / rhinoplasty. The original surgeon took too much cartilage out in the process, causing more breathing issues and the tip of my nose to look unnatural / deformed. After living with the issues for 10 years, I finally decided to see Dr. Lin and I am so glad I did. Hew was able to use cartilage from my ear to fix the interior of my nose and its appearance. I couldn't be happier, and finally feel like myself again! He was able to clearly explain the process to me, and followed up periodically after the surgery to make sure everything healed correctly.February 21, 2023
My name is Pedro and i'm on my early 30s. I was 300 Pounds 2 year ago and now i am 160 pounds. i got the gastric Sleeve procedure and it changed my life. 2 years later i was approved for a Panniculectomy and i loved the results. Doctor Samuel Lin and his crew did an amazing job and i felt well taken cared of. I am blessed for having the chance to better myself with their help and i would recommend giving Beth Israel a chance when it comes to both of these procedures. Today i am a new man and i couldn't have done it without them.February 21, 2023
Last summer I made the decision to have septoplasmy. I am an active 55 yo woman and was struggling breathing through my nose - I was a mouth breather, especially when I was sleeping. It was a lifestyle choice but I canceled it three times because I was nervous. I had heard it was a difficult recovery but the final decision came after a hike last summer where I was so restricted through my nostrils and was panting terribly. I had enough. I have my surgery on 8/5/22 and then entire staff at Dr. Lina was amazing, as was the hospital staff. It was still pandemic restrictions so I was alone but everyone was attentive and informative. Surgery went well. But I am not going to lie. The first week after is terrible. When they said “you will be uncomfortable”, it’s an understatement. You can’t breathe through nose, must sneeze with mouth open (for a month), had to sleep upright for two weeks and I was just uncomfortable. I was a healthy fit woman and so I thought I would sail through and be back working from home in a few days. No. I needed a full week off and for the first four was extremely uncomfortable. It was pain (after first couple days). Just extreme discomfort. I went back after a week to get my splints out and immediately felt better. I continued with the nasal irrigation, wasn’t taking any meds (only did for three days) but it was still slow recovery. I needed a good month until I felt better. I am now 6 months out and it was the best decision I made I don’t snore. I have full ope airways and it’s changed my world. I would highly recommend doing it but definitely have help and be ready to be very uncomfortable for a full 7-10 days. Once you get through that, you will be so happy Go for it!!! These photos are day of, two days post op and 10 days post opFebruary 21, 2023
Working with Dr. Lin has been nothing short of exceptional. He was able to turn my rhinoplasty vision into a reality and really made the entire process are stress-free as possible. I consulted with many physicians before coming to Dr. Lin and I can definitely say that he will choose the most conservative and beneficial route in order to achieve your needed goal. I felt super comfortable the entire process and would recommend him to anyone that asks. I love my newly refined nose 🙂February 07, 2023
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.February 03, 2023
The virtual research rotation with Dr. Lin was very complete. He helped us to create a project of our choice and guide us during the whole month. He was able to answer all our question and help us to construct our project with taking into consideration some details that he already know for experience. Also, as a mentor, he was so kind and patient, which let each student to feel confortable, I very suggest this rotation due to the valuable experience of the doctor and his personalised treatment with each student.February 01, 2023
