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!

I have been a patient of Dr.Samuel Lin since 2012. When i first was faced with a double mastectomy and reconstruction, i did research and many consults, but Dr Lin and his staff are knowledgeable compassionate and caring, making the decision for diep flap easier. They supported me every step thru this journey. i have had several revisions which came out great.I highly recommend Dr. Lin and his staff.
It was less stressful than I thought it be. Everyone was helpful and pleasant. I was wheeled downstairs and two nurses came with me . They helped me into the cab and make sure the seat belt was on correctly.
A septoplasty (repair of my nose) was my first surgery as an older adult. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. Dr. Lin is very skilled, and a good listener and communicator. My concerns and questions were all addressed, patiently, and I felt reassured. On the day of surgery, all of the medical staff were wonderful — polite, patient, responsive, and very nice. (One of the nurses told me that Dr. Lin is the best, and if she was going to have surgery, he would be the surgeon she would choose.) At this point, I would certainly agree. My healing and recovery went as expected, I was able to be well prepared with what I would need to make myself comfortable. My breathing is now much better, and all of the swelling is gone, so I can return to all of my usual activities at six weeks. I have to say that I was not happy about the prospect of surgery but now that it’s over, I had nothing to be concerned about. I highly recommend Dr. Lin.
I choose to have a Bilateral Mastectomy with Diep Flap due to a genetic mutation with Dr Lin at Beth Israel. From the first time I met Dr Lin, I was greatly put at ease. He is very attentive and caring. I also cannot not speak highly enough about his nursing staff, they truly go above and beyond for their patients! I am very happy with my results!
I was referred to Dr. Lin’s office for my DIEP Reconstruction Procedure and It was better than I could have imagined. I feel so blessed to have been able to use my own body tissue and skin to create my right breast and nipple. The nursing unit and all of the staff were wonderful and I felt like I was doing better than expected. In my follow up appointments in the office all of the staff from the receptionist and including Drl Lin have been wonderful. They make you feel like you are visiting friends and not going to see the plastic surgeon. I had my procedure September 11, 2023 the second April 11, 2024 and I will be having tattoo’s on my right nipple and areola. I am super excited, wonderfully blessed and have referred friends to his office. I have called when I have had questions, and or sent messages through the portal and have always had great returned calls and messages. It has truly been a pleasure being a patient in this office! God has made my path and I am just walking in it the best way that I can and with Him all things are possible. Thank you Dr. Lin and your staff for the wonderful care and treatment that you provide to your patients and may God continue to bless you all. Amanda Cook
I’m 9 month post surgery feeling better than ever! Scars have healed well, golf swing is so much better, posture has improved greatly. I’m not longer sore and fatigued in the evening. My shoulders look better I may even try a strapless dress!! So pleased with my new look and improved posture, well worth the surgery and post op. Dr Lin did an amazing job and staff is supportive.
All positive. Dr. Lin, nurses & staff are so nice, patient & accomodating. I felt cared about, safe & confident with the care I received. I would highly recommend this office with no hesitations
Dr. Lin was fantastic, he did an amazing job on my rhinoplasty after I was in a cycling accident. I broke my nose in two places, and he helped me every step of the way. First with a closed reduction, then a rhino and septoplasty to help with breathing issues and cosmetic changes after the accident. My nose looks so natural to me, and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Lin’s bedside manner is fantastic as well, I highly recommend.
