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.

I had an amazing one month of virtual rotation with Dr Lin. Dr Lin was an excellent teacher, always keen to teach and explain difficult concepts. I learned so much about plastic surgery during the month, which flew by in the blink of an eye. He solidified my interest in plastic surgery and was extremely dedicated to ensuring our questions were answered. His passion for the field of plastic surgery was very infectious and made learning very exciting and enjoyable. Looking forward to in-person rotations when possible!
Going in, I had a certain level of expectation from this rotation and was very happy when each and every one of them was met. Dr Lin’s virtual rotation is an experience that is one of a kind. It is filled with so much knowledge of the field of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery and at the same time addressed a lot of pre-conceived notions I had of the field. I especially loved watching all the different types of procedures and techniques and having any questions I had be answered on the spot by Dr Lin- who was very unassuming and reflected his passion for his field onto us. I looked forward to logging into class every day and learning something fascinating. This month of learning has been one of the best educational encounters I’ve had and has further cemented my interest in the field.
I decided to contact Dr. Lin’s office after reading many good reviews. My own experience was like many others and I am grateful to Dr. Lin and his incredible team! They ensured I was well informed throughout the entire process from consultation to post-operation visits. Most importantly, I could not be happier with the outstanding results. Thank you Dr. Lin!
Dr. Lin and his team are absolutely fantastic. They are extremely thorough, responsive and attentive to detail. The entire process from consultation through post operative was a breeze. If you want a surgeon who is going to do an exceptional job and give you incredible results, Dr. Lin is your guy!
A good chance to learn the introduction of plastic surgery in one month. Saving time and money by learning online. Great amount of learning materials and quiz can be done online (this part is self-studying, self -paced). Have chance to view many plastic surgery video with teacher and classmates. Good atmosphere in the classes. A great experience, thank you, Dr. Lin!
I had the great opportunity to work with Dr.Lin in a virtual plastic surgery rotation during the month of November 2020. during my month with Dr.Lin I learned a lot about the basics of plastic surgeries as well as the new advances in plastic surgery. Dr.Lin was a great mentor, answering all of our questions and explaining the procedures for us. Dr.Lin opened my eyes to the field of plastic surgery a field I was always fascinated and interested in and my interest grew even further after my experience with him. Thank you Dr.Lin for the time and effort and I would always recommend this rotation to a friend or colleague.
I was 44, with a wife and four young children, when I decided to have a preventative bilateral mastectomy. My mom and I both have a breast cancer gene mutation. We were diagnosed with the gene after my mom got breast cancer. And after watching her go through chemo and radiation, it became clear that I did not want that for myself or my family. My wife and I met with several doctors in Connecticut but ultimately traveled to Boston to meet with Dr. Lin. I initially thought that I would reconstruct with expanders and a later exchange surgery. But Dr. Lin suggested that I do a direct implant. It turned out to be a really insightful suggestion. I think Dr. Lin understood that I needed to wake up from the surgery with implants because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to prepare myself for the alternative. Recovering from a bilateral mastectomy is physically hard, but the psychological pressure I had felt and fear of feeling disfigured or fundamentally unlike myself let up as soon as the procedure was over. I wasn’t unrecognizable to myself; and as I healed, I began to really liked the way I looked. I’m now a year out from my surgery. Every medical professional who I’ve seen in the last year—gynecologist, internal medicine doctor, nurses, etc.—has been amazed at my results, and each has remarked that this is why you see a real specialist. I’m grateful to Dr. Lin for both his expertise and for his incredibly thoughtful approach to my particular situation.
I had very good experience with Dr. Lin and his team for my procedure, they are very professional. I’m very satisfied with outcome of the surgery. He is the best. Highly recommended.
