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.
I just want you to know how pleased I am with the results of my surgery you performed in June. The results far exceed my expectations, even while I’m healing! Not only are you extremely professional, but you are caring and reassuring. I had given up hope that I would be “normal” again after the birth of my second child. You have given me a new lease on life and have restored my confidence. Your staff is wonderful and helped to add to my positive experience. Thank you again!
Words seem inadequate to express my gratitude (and amazement!) for what you have done for me. It’s been a long journey, and it takes even longer for esteem and body image to catch up with the physical changes. Thank you for being such a compassionate surgeon. Your extraordinary skills and caring are a rare combination. I hope you can instill both in surgeons you are teaching.
At this season on thanksgiving, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to you. You have an uncommon combination of great surgical skill and confidence with humble and gentle connection with patients. I feel very lucky to be one of your patients! From my first consultation with you, I knew that you listened to me and instilled confidence by your knowing just how to proceed. I know that you have many successful years ahead. I wish you in those years to go from strength to even greater strength.
Thank you for all your concern and excellent work on my behalf. I hope this new year brings continued health and happiness to you and your family.
Want to thank you Dr. Lin for all you have done; you and your team for me back in June. You were all wonderful!
Wishing you all a joyous and healthy holiday season! Thanks for taking such great care of me-I feel so fortunate to be in the hands of the best!

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.
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 2-11-25
Dr. Lin and staff were amazing! They were very caring and communicated clearly from pre-op to post-op. They were always available and answered every question I threw at them. If you are looking for a place to get a plastic surgery in Boston this is the clinic to do so.
Had a revision septorhinoplasty with Doctor Lin on June 17th. The result is incredible, my breathing is better and my allergies have subsided. Additionally, my singing voice is better than ever! It also is cosmetically straight which is a huge bonus. Update! I am at the 8 month mark from my revision and everything is still going well. The breathing has improved so much that I joined a gym. Thank you Dr. Lin!
Dr Lin and staff are incredible and so easy to work with! My only regret is not having my deviated septum surgery done years ago. Not sure if it was pure luck but I had zero pain post op and the recovery process was so easy, even having the splints in for 9 days wasn’t nearly as bad as I anticipated. I highly encourage anyone looking to have this done to schedule an appt with Dr Lin – it is SO worth it!! You won’t regret it once you can breathe better!!
The staff and the doctors at BI medical center are all extremely kind and supportive. I received a septoplasty, and I felt like I was in good hands throughout the procedure. Dr Lin made sure to answer any questions I might’ve had and did an excellent job with my nose
I am 2 months post-op from my bilateral breast reduction with Dr. Lin and I feel amazing. I had been suffering with neck and back pain for years and had a persistent knot in my upper back that I could not alleviate. I felt an almost immediate relief after surgery and the knot has disappeared. Dr. Lin and his staff were excellent throughout the entire process. I highly recommend for anyone who has been waiting, to make that initial appointment for a consultation because you will not regret it! *6 month update* My scars have healed and I’m feeling great. I’ve been able to go back to activities I wasn’t comfortable with doing before. I am very happy with the results and excited to finally start shopping for new bras, tops, and dresses.
Well, where do I begin? I visit my primary care complaining of some shoulder problems and back problems and wouldn’t you know it? It all came from my breast. She recommended that I have a breast reduction never really gave that any thought googled doctors in Boston for breast reconstruction surgery and Dr. Lin was the first name that came up. I called his office made an Appointment for a consultation. At that appointment, Dr. Lin and so were all the nurses involved in my journey all very nice and professional. My first experience with Dr. Lin was Thorough he explained the process From the surgery to the healing and he also showed me some before and after photos and I was very impressed with his work. Moving forward, I got my surgery date. I had my surgery I went home the same day again all staff were SUPER nice to me. My healing process went smoothly NO PAIN Today at 5 weeks post op I look at feel AMAZING it was life changing for me, I’d definitely recommend Dr. Lin to anyone who is in need of this type of treatment. Ps. When I look at myself in the mirror still can’t believe it’s me… 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 Happy New Year!!!! Here i am at the my 6 month follow up,,, again staff always pleasant and helpful i needed to mention that. ”you look amazing” is all i heard today from nurses and doctors ESPECIALLY Dr. LIN!!!! I explained how EASY my healing process was and how well it went. almost too easy. I did listen to doctors orders as far as post op care and time frame of when i can start workouts again. No concerns. Dr. Lin and his team are amazing.
