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 recently had the privilege of participating in a plastic surgery rotation guided by Dr. Lin, and I must say, it was an absolutely incredible experience. Dr. Lin fostered an interactive learning environment that encouraged discussions and critical thinking. Through this intensive remote rotation, I gained invaluable clinical knowledge and significantly advanced my expertise in virtually every aspect of plastic and reconstructive surgery. I highly recommend this remote rotation with Dr. Lin. Not only does it offer accessibility, allowing students to participate regardless of their location, but it also provides exposure to exceptional plastic surgery content and facilitates learning from one of the top experts in the field.
I highly recommend the doctor and the amazing staff who helped many patients in their journey to a better and content life. A+++ medical staff and excellent bedside manners and clinical skill set this group of people possess.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Lin. Going in to my first appointment I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I felt reassured and aware of what to expect going into surgery. He and his team were responsive and knowledgable about the procedure. Looking back I wish I had been prepared for how challenging it would be to eat, sleep and eat while the stents were in, but besides that I had a great experience.
Dr. Lin and his team are professional and excellent. They always ask if I have any questions, and they make sure to answer them in detail. The result of my surgery is great. It was an important decision for me, and I’m happy I chose Dr. Lin.
I am so grateful that I was under the care of Dr. Lin for breast reconstruction in conjunction with double mastectomy. He explained the DEIP flap procedure very thoroughly beforehand, and took great care to make sure I was comfortable with my decision. The surgery went very smoothly and the quality of his work is impressive.
Dr Lim, he has the best bedside manor, he is so polite, he is by far the best Doctor i have been with. i have went to 5 other doctors before choosing him. I am so grateful to him and his staff for giving me my confidence back. Andrea G
I came to see Dr. Lin for an additional reconstruction from prior reconstruction due to a mastectomy of my right breast. The breast due to radiation exposure and scar tissue development did not heal well and became very painful. The look of the healed breast was also not optimal. Dr. Lin was able to reshape the breast and remove scar tissue and lesson my discomfort greatly. My breast after his care and work looks as close to my old real breast than it ever has after losing it to breast cancer 3 years ago. Dr. Lin and his entire staff are wonderful. I was so impressed with the outcome and it exceeded all my expectations. I feel whole again and smile when I look down at my journey that has been long, difficult and painful. Thank you so much Dr. Lin for making me feel like I wanted to and be a great part of my cancer journey.
I had a great experience (considering diagnoses) with Dr. Lin in Plastic Surgery and Beth Israel Breast Clinic overall. Supportive team which makes it more personable and less scary.
