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!

I was having difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum and my right nostril collapsing when I would breathe in. As a result, I had a septoplasty and Latera implant procedure recently done by Dr. Lin. He and his staff were excellent and the procedure has helped me to breathe much better. The latera implant helps to keep my right nostril open when I breathe in. I would recommend this procedure to anyone who is having the same difficulties.
Dr. Samuel Lin the most talented plastic surgeon. He is very professional, great bedside manners and informative. He performed a breast reduction and lift on me. They look symmetrical with limited scaring. He exceeded my expectations. I been thinking about getting a reductions for over 10 years and I can’t believe a waited so long to do it. I wish I’ve done it sooner. I am so glad I chose him as my surgeon and would recommend him and his staff to everyone.
Dr. Lin and staff were so helpful to me. I could not be happier with the care and attention I received from them. Dr. Lin is a kind, compassionate physician who took his time listening to my concerns, answering questions and explaining what to expect. I was very comfortable moving forward with surgery and was extremely pleased with my results. Subsequently, I referred a very good friend of mine who was dealing with a cancer diagnosis and Dr. Lin and his team got her through this difficult time with excellent results. As someone who has both worked in the OR with Dr. Lin and been a patient of his, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who has plastic surgery wants or needs. Thank you Dr Lin!
Dr. Lin was amazing during my journey through breast cancer and the reconstruction process. He and his staff were supportive and amazing at navigating this stressful time in my life. It was a very difficult decision to make re: the many options available for breast reconstruction but his guidance for me in determining the best plan was wonderful. I am writing this on my graduation day… 5 years post the many phases of this lengthy process. Dr. Lin is outstanding!
Excellent Breast Reduction with Dr. Lin Dr. Samuel Lin is a double board certified plastic surgeon. He is a referral from my allergist whose sister had the same procedure. I read about Dr. Lin in Boston Magazine. He is, without hesitation, the consummate “Top Doc” of Boston. In my lifetime I have worked, interviewed and experienced surgeries with many—-many a plastic surgeon. This man is the real deal. He’s easy to talk to—-ever so humble, yet, there is a quiet elegance about this man. Even though his waiting room is flooded with patients, he makes you feel like you are the center of his world. He stays intensely focused on every word. He would ask “If given the option, what do YOU want”? Seeing my transformation brought me to tears—–still does. I honestly look and feel better than I did in my late 30’s. I tell everyone, want to see exactly what I look like? Check Venus de Milo!!! Dr. Ma anesthesiologist I had a lengthy discussion with Dr. Ma. He listened, took notes and addressed all my concerns. Honestly, I still expected to wake up in pain and nausea. None of these! Dr. Ma is awesome. I immediately left the hospital for McDonald’s. Yep—–shake burger and fries! True story. Surgical staff This team is like no other. Wicked nervous would describe my demeanor on the day of surgery. As soon as I walked through the doors, I was immediately greeted by Phyllis the surgical receptionist. We talked. We laughed. We hugged. I thought what a great start. It just got better. I must acknowledge the exceptional care I received from this surgical staff. In prior surgeries, I’ve been left lying on a gurney—-staring at the ceiling while the staff talked amongst themselves—–not here. These nurses included me in their conversations. They never left me alone for a second. They were professional, respectful, courteous and Fun—–an all around great group of gals! The genuine camaraderie amongst the team was evident. Must mention….they had nothing but high praise for Dr. Lin. My follow up appointment was with Calley, P.A. Breast healing is an entirely unique experience. You’re constantly comparing one breast to the other. I had questions that I honestly felt better and relieved talking to another woman. I left the office feeling light as a feather. From beginning to end a truly positive—–and most remarkable experience. Thank you all for the exceptional care and totally life changing experience. Forever grateful, Mary aka Marty Z.
I would like to share my experience with Doctor Lin. Without a doubt, he is the most exceptional and personable Doctor my Mother has ever had. Results were nothing short of amazing and we are grateful for his skillful hands. His entire team is also a testament to their professionalism and dedication. They are all positive, friendly and made my mother really comfortable. The experience was truly life changing and there is really not enough we could say about the Doctor and his team. I cannot recommend them and thank them enough.
Getting the news of breast cancer is unexpected and unsettling; fear of what is to come can be overwhelming. The compassionate care provided by Dr Lin and his team was always reassuring and comforting. The procedures and processes were presented clearly and performed with great expertise. Any questions or concerns were treated with importance and respect. Everything was tailored for you- individually; and you are always involved in the decision making. There was never the sense of being rushed. I always felt valued. I am delighted with the results achieved.
In August I had a Septoplasty performed by Dr. Lin. The treatment I received throughout the process was exceptional. I found everyone involved to be both professional and caring. It has now been 7 weeks since my procedure and I have experienced neither pain nor discomfort of any kind. I am very happy to have chosen Dr. Lin and his team for my procedure and I would encourage other to do the same.
