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 team really went above and beyond to help me complete my weightloss journey. After losing a very significant amount of weight i was left with a large amount of excess belly skin. He not only removed this, but he and his team were there with me throughout the recovery. This procedure does have a long and complicated recovery process and they were there and responsive through the ups and downs of it and saw to it that i have had the best possible outcome, and i am now i am wearing a pant size i haven't fit in since middle school. I unhesitatingly recommend Dr Lin and his team to anyone who might be considering a similar procedureMarch 11, 2025

He was very helpful, explained thoroughly and comforted both my daughters and I's worries. all of the team at the surgical place is amazing and trustworthy; being a mother i felt i left my girl in good hands. after the surgery just proved what i felt was not a lie.

If you are considering a septoplasy, stop thinking about it and act on it. I wish I had seen Dr.Lin years ago. He's a fantastic surgeon and everyone on his team was a pleasure to work with. You have no idea how much better you could and should be breathing.March 04, 2025
I became a patient of Dr. Lin’s when I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and needed a mastectomy. At the time of my mastectomy, Dr. Lin put in a tissue expander. I came to his clinic weekly to get saline fills in the tissue expander. In early January, Dr Lin replaced the expander with an implant and reduced the size of my other breast. I can’t say enough about my treatment from Dr. Lin and his staff. Dr. Lin Is not only a great surgeon, who spent a lot of time with me planning my surgeries but he is very kind and reassuring . Callie, his PA and Brooke, an administrator were so warm and welcoming. I know they have my back at all times. I always felt comfortable coming to the office. Any time I called in with a question, I got very speedy helpful answers.February 25, 2025
At BIDMC, the doctors, nurses, technicians, and all the staff have been instrumental in my breast cancer journey and recovery. I came to seek medical care for breast cancer and surgery and from the moment I arrived I felt as if I was reassured, and embraced as if I was with caring family, always warm, caring, and compassionate. It has been a team effort and everyone here treats me personally and cares for me, and has answered all my concerns and questions. It is wonderful to find after many dead end experiences in past in medical care a professional and thorough medical hospital as dedicated and warm as you have been. My husband Paul, and my family thank you for your kindness, and imparicular to Dr. Samuel Lin in Reconstructive Surgery and the Breast Care Center. Again thank you, Cristina Moreno Trahan 2-11-25February 11, 2025
