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 suffered from a deviated septum as a result of an accident. For almost 10 months, I had trouble breathing through the right side of my nose as it was almost completely blocked due to the deviated septum. I could not even sleep through the night due to this and I was in a lot of discomfort for a long time. Dr. Lin and his entire team were absolutely fantastic right from the initial consult to the surgery and even through the follow-ups. I ran into issues with my insurance while trying to get pre-approval for the surgery and Dr. Lin and his team constantly stayed in touch with me and stayed on top of the issue and worked with my insurance company to resolve the issues ASAP and helped me get the necessary pre-approvals for the surgery. I have felt so much better since the surgery and can finally breathe through the nose again. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lin without any hesitations. He is very empathetic and paid personal attention throughout my journey.
Dr Lin is one of the best teacher in the whole world.He has helped me a lot to discover myself and my passion for plastic surgery.He has made the subject so interesting that I am now now determined to put my best efforts to match into this residency one day. He was very friendly and was patient enough to answer each and every doubts we had, no matter how silly they seemed to be. I felt like days were flying and we were getting more connected emotionally to this great personality. I got a chance to see numerous surgical videos and also could learn many new concepts. The best qualities of Dr Lin is that he is so much dedicated in teaching his students and motivating them to pursue their dreams. He made me understand the need for being updated and trying to be familiar with every new techniques in surgery as well as medicine. Attending Plastic surgery virtual classes with him is one of the best decisions I ever made during the pandemic and my whole life.. Can never thank him enough.
My journey to cosmetic surgery really began as a young woman. I’ve always enjoyed and taken pride in looking my best. I wear makeup and nice clothes to enhance my appearance. Now at age 67, I thought my face looked tired, my neck, eyelids and jowls sagged. I had a few more wrinkles and age lines than before, and the compliments I received were now fewer. I promised myself as a young woman that when the time was right for me, I would regain that feeling of youth and turn back the clock a little with the help of cosmetic surgery. In early 2020, I decided that the time for me was now. In July 2020, Dr. Samuel Lin performed a face and neck lift and upper eyelid surgery. The results were simply amazing! Dr. Lin has taken at least 10 years off my appearance. At age 67 I am now often mistaken for my early 50s. I smile every day when I look into the mirror and know that this was among the best decisions I ever made for me! Was the pain worth the outcome? A resounding, yes! The most pain I experienced was during the first 2-3 days, but the pain medication made it comfortable and manageable. After 7 days the occasional Tylenol was enough. Dr. Lin is an extremely talented plastic surgeon. His credentials speak volumes to this and I promise you, I did my research. Dr. Lin was patient, professional, and took time to respond to all my concerns and questions; I would not hesitate to recommend him for any of your cosmetic needs. I couldn’t be more pleased with my results. I must also acknowledge Dr. Lin’s Administrative Assistant, Stacy Agbonifo for her outstanding and exceptional assistance throughout the administrative procedural process from booking appointments, completing paperwork, to preparing for my surgery. Her professionalism, willingness to help, and warm personality put me at ease. I’ve had so many positive comments about my appearance and even received second glances from strangers and friends. It is wonderful to feel young again! While I told my family and closest friend about my surgery, to the rest of the world, it will be our little secret. This was made possible by the skillful surgeon, Dr. Lin and his team with my resulting “natural” looking results. As the middle child, my sisters now jokingly call me their baby sister. Jean W.
It was a great learning experience even during the Covid 19 situation thanks to Dr. Samuel, I personally am very grateful for the Opportunity to have been able to improve my knowledge about the latest advances in skin grafting, bone grafting, implants and prosthesis. Dr Samuel is a awesome teacher, he gave us a lot of learning material during our clinical rotation and let us learn at our own pace, before this rotation my knowledge of plastic surgery was minimal at best..but after learning from Dr. Lin who is among the best in his field, i really got a thorough understand of the depth and scope of the field of plastic surgery. Overall it was excellent and also I would like to thank my fellow students during the rotation for asking so many interesting questions to Dr Lin, it was great working with many different people from many different backgrounds. All in all exceptional people everyone of them.
Had an amazing experience learning from Dr. Lin. He is knowledgable and passionate about plastic surgery. The course covered the depth and breath of plastic surgery. The course was cohesive and the lectures added and clarified the readings which help build the base of knowledge. I now know more about each of the different facets of plastic surgery, and this will serve me well in the future. Dr. Lin is a charismatic teacher and is so willing to answer questions. I would recommend any student with an interest in plastics to not miss this opportunity.
I had the opportunity met Dr. Samuel Lin in an online meetings to discuss different topics in plastic surgery and reconstruction. It was an enriching experience in a welcome environment that for sure add an updated knowledge. Thank you!!!
Since I was a young girl, I have always been self conscious of my nose. I hated taking pictures, I hated smiling because I felt like my nose took over my face. I would get bullied and was always told “ i’d be more attractive with a smaller nose” I would go on these trips and would have an amazing time only to come home and look at photos of me later to ciriticisze and cry over. Finally at 30, I decided enough is enough and to get Rhinoplasty. It has been a just about 3 months since my surgery with Dr. Samuel Lin and I am over the moon with the results. Not only am I super confident but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and bedside manner :).
I joined the tele health rotation with Dr. Lin to get a broader sense of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the U.S. Dr. Lin has been very patient and involved throughout, even after a long day at work which in most cases was every other day. This gave me an idea of the patient and procedures performed on a daily basis at the BI and the videos and discussions further added to my interest in the program and branch.
