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!

I had the opportunity of attending a 4 week research rotation with Dr. Lin. This clinical research experience was very inspiring and I must say that I learnt a lot from Dr. Lin during this time. Although, very busy, Dr. Lin would spend time during meetings and out of meeting hours to respond to all questions I had and was very encouraging throughout the entire research experience. I highly recommend this clinical research rotation with Dr. Lin to medical students or graduates who are interested in surgery as it offers a great opportunity to learn a lot about the surgical field.
Dr. Lin was an amazing teacher really helpful and kind, he was available to answer any doubt or concerned that I had regarding the material. I highly recommend to do a virtual Clinical Rotation to any IMG and learn about the health system in USA. I learned a lot about Plastic surgery, new techniques and different approaches and treatments. And loved the Decker platform, it is really interactive and enjoyed studying and reading articles from it. All the experience was perfect.
I had the honour of having Dr. Samuel Lin as my mentor for one of my favourite specialities/programs. I got to learn a lot more about plastic surgery with Dr. Lin than I ever did in medical school. I saw surgeries that I wouldn’t have seen if it wasn’t for Dr. Lin’s program. He had the whole month planned out for his students since day 1 – it was extremely well balanced including reading material, testing material, audio/visual material and his personal slides/surgeries to top it all off. He addressed all my queries with extreme patience and helped me clear my concepts. It was truly amazing to have him as my mentor for this month long program, and it’s the only time I will ever say, I wish I got to study a little more with him.
GREAT PHYSICIAN! Explains everything in a clear and concise manner. I highly recommend taking this Plastic Surgery elective with Dr. Lin!
I would really recommend this clinical rotation to every student who wants to be in the surgery field, especially the ones interested in plastic and reconstructive surgery. You go from learning the basic plastic surgery principles to very specific topics. I was impressed by the detailed information you are able to learn in every procedure. You have the opportunity to view and discuss with the Doctor very rare and interesting cases and procedures. The feedback and discussion from the Doctor is invaluable.
I attended a 4 week plastic surgery rotation with Dr.Lin. He is a great professor and has conducted an amazing course. I learned so much from him in the short amount of time I was able to spend with him. He does a fantastic job of encouraging you to get involved and clarifies any doubts you may have through out the course. I highly recommend attending his rotation to anyone who has the opportunity.
Dr. Lin was an exceptional teacher and leader. I was exposed to many facets of plastic surgery in his course that I wouldn’t otherwise in any other elective. I highly recommend his elective to any student who is passionate about pursuing a career in Plastic and reconstructive surgery.
I had a breast reduction and lift about 3 months ago, I could not ask for a better doctor than Dr. Lin. They took very good care of me before and after the surgery, I had common complications with my wounds (delayed healing), but the doctor was always very receptive and answered all my questions, if I had to go the same day because I was feeling pain, the office was always opened to check me. My breasts are now symmetric and perky, I barely see the scar. I am very happy with the outcome of the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Lin and his staff for their expertise and professionalism. He truly changed my life, no more back pain.
