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!

Dr. Lin has such a great personality that you will like him immediately! He listens to and cares about what you are thinking and offers the optimal options for each patient. It has been a great pleasure for me to get to know him. He is definitely the surgeon you gonna choose when it comes to rhinoplasty or breast reconstruction;)
Dr Sam, has been a great mentor. I dint get a chance to directly rotate under him, but my experience has been excellent. He is a great human being and outstanding surgeon. It was my honor to rotate under him and he was really helpful. I will definitely recommend his services to anyone. Outstanding physicians, educator and humble guy.
I thought about getting a breast reduction for years. I was so uncomfortable all the time and had an awful time finding clothes that would fit properly. I was referred to Dr. Lin by my dermatologist and after meeting him and his team I wish I hadn’t waited so long. I knew immediately he was the surgeon I wanted to do my surgery. I can only imagine how busy Dr Lin’s schedule is but he made me feel like I was his only patient that day. Everyone in his office is incredibly kind and professional and they take the time to go through all your questions and explain the procedure. I wasn’t nervous the day of the surgery and could not be happier with the results. I feel like Dr Lin helped me get my confidence back. If anyone is contemplating a breast reduction surgery, call Dr Lin. I am so thankful I did.
Thank you! I cannot thank Dr. Lin and his team enough. After researching for years and consulting several surgeons, I knew I made the right choice with Dr. Lin as my surgeon for my breast augmentation. Overall, a truly amazing experience.
I would like to start off by thanking Dr. Lin for this amazing opportunity. Although it was virtual rotation I feel as though I have taken an educational journey in the field of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery. This virtual rotation has taught me a great amount regarding both the basics, such as Wound healing to Flaps and Grafts, Burns, Aesthetic surgery, Congenital Head and Neck, Hand and Extremity as well as other topics and extremely detailed issues. After watching all kinds of new surgeries and learning that there is no limit on the body that a specialized and skilled plastic surgeon can’t fix, I feel inspired to learn more about this amazing specialty. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Lin, there is no doubt in me that this virtual clinical rotation will positively impact my future.
The Rotation in plastic surgery with Dr. Lin was extremely important in my learning and in my future as a doctor. The content and course are well organized and easy to understand. I’m very satisfied and glad with the attention of Dr Samuel Lin. Thank you for everything.
I had such a positive experience with Dr. Lin and his team! I got a rhinoplasty about 7 weeks ago, and the outcome is exactly what I had hoped for! I definitely recommend scheduling a consultation with him!
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lin in 2016 when I was diagnosed with Invasive Lobular Carcinoma . No one ever wants to hear the words “You have Cancer”. It was a very difficult time in my life, so many decisions to be made lumpectomy, mastectomy, reconstruction…. When I first met with Dr. Lin, I was so nervous because I was unsure of what I was going to do after my bilateral mastectomy. I didn’t know what my options were. Dr. Lin took the time to thoroughly explain all the procedures that were available and answered all the questions that I had. Dr. Lin never rushed me or persuaded me to go with one procedure over the other. I decided to go with the bilateral DIEP Flap breast reconstruction. The reconstruction was performed immediately after the bilateral mastectomy. The morning of my surgery, I put 100% of my trust in Dr Lin. I felt so confident that he would do an amazing job putting my body together and he did. It has been 4 years since my diagnosis and it makes me feel blessed that I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Lin on my team. Dr. Lin is amazing, he is very knowledgable, kind, caring and compassionate. When he asks how you are feeling, he wants to know good or bad. He will be there for you not matter what. I still have yearly visits with Dr. Lin and he still treats me the way he did when I walked into his office in 2016. Dr Lin is a skilled surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Lin Thanks for your support on my journey Beth E – Quincy MA
