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 kind and welcoming. I had a blocked sinus on one side due to a broken nose. I opted for a septoplasty. He took his time to make sure I understood what the procedure entailed. After the surgery, the nurses mentioned that Dr. Lin is careful with his surgeries and does not rush through procedures, which is not the case with all surgeons. I had almost no pain after the surgery and am now able to breathe readily from both nostrils. I heard from other friends’ experience and it was not the same as mine. Would suggest Dr. Lin to others considering nose surgery.
Had a septoplasty in June 2024 to repair a deviated septum. Dr. Lin and his team were excellent. Great bedside manner and really responsive and helpful to any concerns and issues. Would highly recommend to anyone with nasal issues to come see Dr. Lin. Special shoutout to Calley Lynch, his PA, who always made me feel super comfortable and supported.
After going through breast cancer treatment; I wanted to feel normal again and I wanted to like the reflection staring back at me in the mirror. Dr. Lin came highly recommended by two former patients. Well…..he did not disappoint. The entire process from initial consult to pre-treatment conversations, to pre-op marking, to OR to post op checkups was top notch and caring. His office staff is helpful and kind. I would do it all over again! I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome. Thank You for putting Humpty back together again!!!! 6 month update: So happy with my continued healing and results. A couple of my scars are almost invisible and the others are well on their way. Dr. Lin and his office continue to be supportive in their check-ins and have already taken care of a couple of my friends who I referred to him. Now that summer is here, I’m not hiding behind a bathing suit cover-up any longer 🙂
Several procedures to straighten a deviated septum (the tip actually pointed to the east) and solve the snoring that kept my husband awake at night failed. My nasal problem seemed to be something I would have to live with forever, sadly. After thirty years I was still suffering and at my wits end because my nose would bleed from blowing it too frequently, trying to unblock my nose to breathe… My once ethnically shaped nose was “no more” and rather weird-looking AND it didn’t even work properly. I needed help!!! After visiting several surgeons, Dr. Samuel Lin, MD, FACS was so attentive to my story and seemed to understand the impact this situation was having on my physical and mental health. I will forever have a grateful heart because Dr. Lin was able to repair a perforated and deviated septic. I can now breathe and no longer feel camera shy with my natural-looking nose – I can smile and honestly say that this is the nose I should have been born with, lol!!! Thank you, Dr. Lin :))
I am so pleased with my reconstructive surgery with Dr. Lin. The best thing about the whole procedure is that it is your new breast is your own tissue and there is not something foreign in your body. Dr. Lin is a great surgeon and a very good communicator throughout the whole process and his staff are also very attentive. No question ever seems silly or stupid they help you through with whatever you need. I am so happy I made the decision I made for the reconstruction of a new breast!
Samuel Lin was a great doctor. He fixed my broken nose completely. The healing process was extremely quick and I recommend him to anyone needing nasal surgery.
Dr. Lin and his team were instrumental in my decision to have an elective double-mastectomy due to my high risk of breast cancer. Everyone in his office was extremely informative and sensitive to my physical and emotional needs throughout the entire pre-and postoperative process. In fact, as I was being wheeled into the OR, I specifically remember Dr. Lin’s kind and confident demeanor. My surgery went well and my flat-closure healed nicely without any complications. I returned to work in two weeks (even though I was approved for six week’s leave) and felt good as new in less than two months. I am forever grateful for Dr. Lin’s care and his thorough alignment with the entire surgical team.
I had a fairly large lipoma removed from my neck in May. I was a bit nervous when arriving but the nurses and staff were incredibly kind and supportive. Dr. Lin met with me a few minutes before surgery, explained the procedure, and assured me it would go well. All went exceptionally well and I’ve healed very nicely. I feel great about myself no longer having this large lipoma on my neck. The scar is fairly small and has healed really well. I completely recommend Dr. Lin and his staff to anyone seeking surgery.
