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!
Our Rating:
Boston Plastic Surgery is rated 4.9 out of 5.0 based on 450 ratings.
I undertook a 4wk virtual elective in Plastic Surgery under the tutelage of Dr Samuel Lin. The experience gave me an opportunity to learn fundamental concepts such as wound healing, grafts and flap transfer as well as advanced surgical techniques for breast reconstruction, cleft lip and palate repair, face lift, rhinoplasty, hand surgery and gender reassignment. It was an intense and rapid learning curve, but Dr Lin was supportive and guided us through the program providing us with teaching, learning materials, quizzes and videos of surgical procedures. I would highly recommend the elective.
It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Lin. I am grateful for the virtual plastic surgery rotation week. It was amazing for me as a medical student in Peru to be able to learn from him. I really recommend it!
The procedure and recovery went exactly as I was told upfront. If anything the recovery was quicker than I expected.
I recommend the virtual course because it is much easier to study at your own time, in addition to taking the exams also at your own pace. Virtual classes with Dr Lin are very entertaining and he shows us content that we would otherwise not be able to see in our daily practice.
Really excellent and noteworthy to work with one of the most humble consultants I have ever came across in my surgical career. Thank you sir for every support and I strongly recommend all future students to join him for sure.
This was an amazing experience, I was able to learn a lot, full of knowledge, and Dr. Lin was a spectacular preceptor, always willing to clear all the doubs, for sure an skilled physician. 1000% woth it, I repeat amazing experience!
Dr. Lin has excellent communication skills. He possesses and demonstrates a broad range of skills. Describes the rationale for actions and decisions. Responds clearly and precisely to learner questions, connects information to broader concepts, communicates clear goals and expectations, and makes learning enjoyable. I enjoy how attentively Dr. Lin analyzes a learner by accurately measuring the learner’s knowledge, attitudes, and skills and providing useful feedback. Dr. Lin is skilled in practice and teaching because he provides effective role modeling, organizes and clarifies information, generates interest in the subject matter, organizes and controls the learning experience, balances clinical and teaching responsibilities, and assigns appropriate responsibility to the learner. One of the many qualities I admire about Dr. Lin is that he encourages the learner by emphasizing problem solving, translating specific cases into general concepts, and encouraging active participation of the learner. Dr. Lin enjoys and is enthusiastic about patient care and teaching, and he develops a supportive relationship with the learner.
Dr Lin is a great surgeon, best mentor and scientist. He is one of the leading scientists and contributors in the advancement of the plastic surgery field. Despite his very busy schedule, he always finds time to guide and support his researchers no matter what. I was lucky enough to learn from Dr Lin and grateful for all the skills he taught me. He is very personable, caring and always prioritizes his patients’ needs. I would highly recommend doctor Dr Lin, his experience and track record speaks for itself!
