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!

Dr L. helped me with the double mastectomy procedure back in 2020. It’s been more than 2 years now and I really appreciate the good work he had done.
Great result! Reduction mammoplasty changed my life. Recovery was not hard, minimal scarring. Dr. Sam did a fab job!
Had a functional breathing problem fixed with Dr. Lin. 2 years post surgery now and I am doing much better.
Dr. Samuel L is absolutely amazing!! Mastectomy where?? I personally didn’t want implants, so I opted for a more difficult procedure. When I tell you my symmetry is perfect… I mean perfect PERFECT!! I’ve got a few more steps but I am completely satisfied with my results so far!!!
Dr. L and his staff were absolutely wonderful. They were communicative and detailed in terms of the process. On the night of my procedure, Dr. L called and again walked me through the process. I have always been unsettled with the appearance of my nose. Prior to deciding to have surgery, I had tried thread and fillers on my nose. I finally took the big step and I could not be happier with the outcome. If you are weighing your options, don’t be afraid to do that consult.
Reduction mammaplasty was the best decision to get done, it relived all my back and shoulder pain, DR. L. Is great
I was diagnosed with DCIS breast cancer Stage 1 in October 2021 and opted for a double mastectomy two months later. I then decided to have reconstruction with silicone implants in March 2022. It was definitely a decision I regretted because I was quite unhappy with the look and feel of them. After researching other options, I was then referred to my microsurgeon, Dr. Samuel Lin, and after a consultation with him, I knew this was the surgeon I wanted to perform my DIEP Flap surgery. I am now four weeks out of surgery and could not be happier. Not only do I look better, I FEEL so much better because this is my own tissue and not a foreign body in my breasts. The surgery and recovery is a long procedure, but I would do it again in a second due to the results. I also can’t recommend Dr. Lin more, as he is the most compassionate, understanding and accomplished plastic surgeon in this specialized field. His staff is also wonderful. I’m healing well and looking forward to getting my life back on track after a devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. Thank you so very much, Dr. Lin.
I recently enjoyed the wonderful months working with Dr. Lin on both a research rotation and a virtual clinical rotation separately in plastic surgery field. Virtual Clinical Rotation: I am really grateful to Dr. Lin. Through this program, I got the chance to work with a renowned physician who is on the Mt Rushmore of plastic surgeons, learn from him, get his direction, increase my understanding of the specialty, and, most importantly, discover techniques that I had never heard of or seen before. This program provided a thorough explanation of what plastic and reconstructive surgery entails. I believe I have acquired an incredible quality of knowledge throughout my four-week rotation, and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. Dr. Lin addressed all of our questions in a straightforward, comprehensive manner, made study interactive asking questions and listened to what we stated. I can say that he has created a superb course when it comes to instructing both novice and seasoned students. I am motivated to learn more about this fascinating profession after viewing a variety of cutting-edge procedures and realizing that there is no physical restriction that a qualified and highly skilled plastic surgeon cannot cure. My expectations were exceeded, I dare say. Research Rotation: For a novice like me, it was really informative and a fantastic place to begin my research work under the great mentorship of Dr Lin. During course I had multiple ideas which were unfortunately taken by other research fellows I was feeling desolate regarding that BUT Dr. Lin cheered me up by insisting on other ideas, ways and also, we laughed about it by doing that it relaxed my mind immensely for which I am again grateful to him. This was a highlight for me apart from that this course had provided enough materials to know about systematic review, which is the highest form of evidence. In order to advance our research endeavor, he connected with other senior research fellows at the completion and committed to stay in touch. I do strongly encourage these courses to everyone interested in research, not simply just in the field of plastic surgery.
