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 came to see Dr. Lin after I broke my nose and was having trouble breathing. Turns out that I had a deviated septum following the break. Luckily, Dr. Lin was able to fix the deviated septum. While having the surgery, I also elected to have a post-break bump on the hump of my nose removed and tip refinement. He did an amazing job! My nose looks natural and very much improved! Not only did I have a great experience with Dr Lin but the entire staff was great. Very helpful before, after, and on the day of surgery. They made the process easy.
Thank you to everyone at Dr. Lin’s office including nurses, reception, and PA staff. Being diagnosed with breast cancer is scary, but from the moment I met Dr. Lin I knew that I was in good hands. He listened to all of my concerns regarding breast reconstruction. It was quite a journey ! I will forever be grateful to Dr Lin for the exceptional work he did.
Dr. Lin is not only an excellent surgeon but a fine human being. The entire medical and administrative staff were both professional and caring everytime I came to the office. I highly recommend Dr. Lin and his staff.
Dr. Lin and his staff are the best in the business! I had twins 9 years ago and have had three very successful cosmetic procedures over a series of years following their birth. His attention to detail and bedside manner is quite a rare find. He is the best!
I had a lower face lift and a neck lift performed by Dr. Lin. He was wonderful, and did a perfect job. For a number of years I have had several medical problems, which I worked through over a period time with Dr. Lin, until he felt comfortable performing the surgery. He was very patient throughout this process. I would definitely go to him again. He’s not only an excellent plastic surgeon, he’s a great person.
Dr. Lin and his team made the process of having surgery straightforward and seamless. From making appointments to booking surgery, they are knowledgeable and efficient. The nurses in the office were excellent, any forms that I needed were completed and faxed on the same or next day which was extremely helpful. I am thankful for the amazing care I received.
I had delayed DIEP Flap surgery at Beth Israel Hospital in September 2023 with Doctor Samuel Lin. I am amazed at how well this whole experience has been. I am 66 years old and had absolutely no complications. I am six weeks out and continue to heal everyday. I absolutely love my results!!!! Doctor Lin is kind and compassionate and will answer all your questions and put your mind at ease. All the staff here at this hospital are amazing, including the clinical staff and the inpatient nurses and doctors. I would highly recommend Doctor Samuel Lin if you need any type of Plastic Surgery.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012, it was a very scary episode in my life, however when at met Dr. Lin at BIDMC he treated with kindness, giving me all the support and hope that I needed it. Having a double mastectomy was devastating. Dr. Lin gave me a sense of security and confidence as I was going to have my breast reconstruction, he did an excellent work, my breast is perfect, it made me feel alive again. And after 10 years I continue in the care of Dr. Lin for breast implants changes and other plastic surgeries. I can’t thank enough Dr. Lin, his team and all BIDMC doctors. Best Doctors!.
