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!
Thank you for all you did for Katie.
Thank you for your caring ways. Your kindness and gentle manner helped to put me and my family at ease. Your expertise is also very much appreciated. Please enjoy this pen made out of jade. It is supposed to bring good luck.
Thank you so much for the excellent care.
Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy year! Thank you for all of your wonderful care! I feel so blessed to have found you and your wonderful staff to help get me through this ordeal. There is truly a sense of peace that is felt with the care you all provide! God bless you all and your families!

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.
