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 highly recommend Dr. Lin and his staff. They’re warm, compassionate and empathetic. My surgery went really well. My healing and recovery went really well, inspite of surgery on radiated skin. And what can I say about the scar…. barely noticeable. Thank you, Dr. Lin for your great work and to your staff.
I have nothing but phenomenal things to say about Dr. Lin and his whole team. I was referred to him for a septoplasty, was seen in a very timely manner, and while I had a significant septal deviation, he was able to operate on it perfectly. Now I am able to breathe from my nose unlike ever before. Post procedurally I had absolutely no pain and did not require any pain medications and was back at work the following week. Dr. Lin is extremely caring, kind, and skilled, the perfect combination for any surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr. Lin to anyone seeking advice on a surgeon.
I would like to thank Dr. Lin and his team for repairing my nasal septum perforation. After previous septoplasty (elsewhere), I developed a small septal perforation. After having a couple of procedures to repair it but did not work, I was referred to Dr. Lin. He answered all of my questions and explained that it is a difficult problem to fix (he predicts 50% chance of success). His team was able to schedule a surgery without a long waiting period. Thankfully, Dr. Lin and his team did a careful and wonderful job sealing the perforation with AlloDerm. I am now able to breathe normally without any whistling or crusting.
Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Lin and would recommend him to absolutely anyone! Every aspect of the process was smooth and supportive.
I am happy to share my recent surgery performed by Dr. Lin. I am not a new patient of Dr. Lin’s . This was my second surgery that involved the removal of a number of growths. The other removal was an office visit. The professionalism that I experienced at the surgery center was outstanding. The pre-op nurses were very kind and understanding. They immediately calmed my anxiety to the surgery. They were even able to have a few laughs, that really put me at ease. The anesthesia nurse and doctor took the time to explain their roles in the procedure. I also met the operating nurse prior to entering the operating room. The recovery nurse was also very good. She assisted in my preparation for discharge. My follow-up appointments with Dr. Lin and his team, as well as his office staff have continued my satisfaction with the entire experience. I would recommend Dr. Lin to my family and friends, as well as other patients.
I could not be more thrilled with my experience with Dr. Lin. He, and his entire team, is communicative and always willing to answer questions. I was extremely nervous for the procedure and they were incredible at being patient and kind with all of my concerns. I’m seven months out from my surgery and couldn’t be happier with the results!
I recently had a septoplasty performed by Dr. Lin and I enthusiastically recommend him as a surgeon! I consulted with a few other ENTs before scheduling my operation, but none were as informative and experienced as Dr. Lin. I want to mention an important part of my experience: Dr. Lin is a patient and attentive listener. This trait is crucial in a surgeon and it gave me confidence to proceed with my septoplasty. The recovery period can extend six months or longer, but already at two months after my surgery I’m very happy with the results (improved breathing). If you’re considering a septoplasty and still haven’t chosen a surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Lin! FOLLOW-UP (2023): Just want to add an update to my experience. Dr. Lin recently performed a turbinate reduction to my right nostril (a smaller procedure than a septoplasty) in order to further improve my nasal breathing. Once again, I was immensely satisfied with the results! If you’re experiencing impaired breathing and are considering a septoplasty or turbinate reduction, I highly recommend Dr. Lin — his expertise, attentiveness, and friendly manner are a great combination. I was lucky to find him!
A few weeks after my septoplasty procedure with healing well underway, I discovered it was much easier to fall asleep. It no longer mattered what position I was in, I could breath easily and freely on my side or on my back. This was a benefit I had not anticipated!
