Testimonials and Reviews

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 appointments with Dr. Lin and his staff went very well and were very thorough from start to finish. Everything was explained to me before the surgery as to what to expect. B.I.D. staff in Needham were wonderful and caring too. I wish I had done this years ago.
I would 100% recommend Dr. Lin and his entire staff to anyone looking to have any sort of plastic or corrective surgery. Their attention and care from the beginning to end has been phenomenal to say the least. As a mom of two toddlers, I wanted to feel like I was in safe hands with the best results and that I would have a smooth recovery. Dr. Lin delivered all that and more.
My daughter had been struggling with a deviated septum and wanted to change the structure of her nose. After meeting with many surgeons, we found Dr. Samuel Lin. Not only is he an amazing doctor, he is also personable, patient, kind, and warm. We knew we made the right choice from the moment we met him and his entire staff. Every single doctor, nurse, office staff and others were delightful and provided exceptional care. My daughter’s surgery was seamless and her healing process was surprisingly easy. She couldn’t be happier with her outcome; her breathing is improved and her nose is stunning. We highly recommend Dr. Lin and his team and can’t thank them enough for the incredibly smooth experience.
It was a very good expierience with the surgery going very good and was an easy recovery. felt mild discomfort for a few days and was better a week later.
Dr. Lin called me the night before surgery and was most reassuring. He did the same just before surgery and early the next morning. The whole surgical team was friendly.
Thank you to Dr. Lin, his staff, and nurses! I had my initial consultation for a breast reduction and tummy tuck after an 80-lb weight loss in October 2023, a second consultation in January 2024, and scheduled my surgery for April 3rd. I am now 6 weeks post op. A few notes on my experience: – I had my consultations and one of my follow-ups with Calley Lynch who was fantastic. She answered all of my questions, took pre op photos, and explained the process. – I then worked with Phyllis to schedule my surgery. She was also extremely helpful. I was given a list of medications to stop a few weeks prior to surgery, however I am on a GLP-1 and it was not listed (must be stopped 2 weeks prior to surgery), so I think the sheet needs to be updated. I also wish I was given a bit more written detail on the medications I’d be prescribed, dosing schedule, scar care, swelling timeline, etc. ahead of time. – About a week prior to surgery I got a call from a nurse who went over my medical history and what to expect the day of surgery. – The morning of surgery Dr. Lin spoke with me and was meticulous in marking me up. He really listened to what I wanted – it’s clear he takes a lot of pride in his work. The anesthesiologist explained every step, and the nurses were so kind. – I got my drains out about a week after surgery, but was extremely swollen until about 4wpo. The first 1-2 weeks are very tough but Dr. Lin’s team was always available to answer any questions. I am happy so far and look forward to seeing my final results in a few months! UPDATE 4/8 – I am now one year post-op and I am thrilled with my results. Dr. Lin and I set up follow up appointments every few months post-op. Everything healed well and I so appreciate Dr. Lin and his team. This was the best decision I could have made for myself!
It’s been a great experience for me from the initial consult visit, to the septoplasty surgery and subsequent follow up visits. Dr Lin and the team guided me through the process step by step. My questions and concerns answered throughout the process. The best news is, I am breathing better than I have In many many years, Wish I did this sooner. Thank you Dr. Lin and the all-star team here!
I met with Dr. Lin and his associates fall of 2024 and felt heard about my struggles with macromastia! I was able to get a referral, approved, and got surgery within a 4-5 month period. The staff has been amazing, being incredibly clear and kind every step of the way. I’m now 7 weeks out from operation and I already feel so much better. Even with being this far out, Dr Lin and his associates are still providing me care and availability, and checking in with me and my healing progress. I have no regrets going through with the breast reduction and I highly encourage others who can to go for it with Dr Lin!!
