Dr. Lin and his team made the process of having surgery straightforward and seamless. From making appointments to booking surgery, they are knowledgeable and efficient. The nurses in the office were excellent, any forms that I needed were completed and faxed on the same or next day which was extremely helpful. I am thankful for the amazing care I received.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012, it was a very scary episode in my life, however when at met Dr. Lin at BIDMC he treated with kindness, giving me all the support and hope that I needed it. Having a double mastectomy was devastating. Dr. Lin gave me a sense of security and confidence as I was going to have my breast reconstruction, he did an excellent work, my breast is perfect, it made me feel alive again. And after 10 years I continue in the care of Dr. Lin for breast implants changes and other plastic surgeries. I can't thank enough Dr. Lin, his team and all BIDMC doctors. Best Doctors!.

I had delayed DIEP Flap surgery at Beth Israel Hospital in September 2023 with Doctor Samuel Lin. I am amazed at how well this whole experience has been. I am 66 years old and had absolutely no complications. I am six weeks out and continue to heal everyday. I absolutely love my results!!!! Doctor Lin is kind and compassionate and will answer all your questions and put your mind at ease. All the staff here at this hospital are amazing, including the clinical staff and the inpatient nurses and doctors. I would highly recommend Doctor Samuel Lin if you need any type of Plastic Surgery.

I was having difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum and my right nostril collapsing when I would breathe in. As a result, I had a septoplasty and Latera implant procedure recently done by Dr. Lin. He and his staff were excellent and the procedure has helped me to breathe much better. The latera implant helps to keep my right nostril open when I breathe in. I would recommend this procedure to anyone who is having the same difficulties.

Dr. Samuel Lin the most talented plastic surgeon. He is very professional, great bedside manners and informative. He performed a breast reduction and lift on me. They look symmetrical with limited scaring. He exceeded my expectations. I been thinking about getting a reductions for over 10 years and I can't believe a waited so long to do it. I wish I've done it sooner. I am so glad I chose him as my surgeon and would recommend him and his staff to everyone.

Dr. Lin and staff were so helpful to me. I could not be happier with the care and attention I received from them. Dr. Lin is a kind, compassionate physician who took his time listening to my concerns, answering questions and explaining what to expect. I was very comfortable moving forward with surgery and was extremely pleased with my results. Subsequently, I referred a very good friend of mine who was dealing with a cancer diagnosis and Dr. Lin and his team got her through this difficult time with excellent results. As someone who has both worked in the OR with Dr. Lin and been a patient of his, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who has plastic surgery wants or needs. Thank you Dr Lin!

Dr. Lin and his team are amazing. I had a breast reduction and experienced almost immediate relief of my neck and shoulder pain. Everything looks incredible and is healing nicely. I couldn't be happier with how I feel now and recommend a consultation with Dr. Lin if you are thinking about a breast reduction. 6 months post op and everything has progressed better than I could have imagined. Very minimal scarring. The team here is so wonderful.

Dr. Lin was amazing during my journey through breast cancer and the reconstruction process. He and his staff were supportive and amazing at navigating this stressful time in my life. It was a very difficult decision to make re: the many options available for breast reconstruction but his guidance for me in determining the best plan was wonderful. I am writing this on my graduation day... 5 years post the many phases of this lengthy process. Dr. Lin is outstanding!

Excellent Breast Reduction with Dr. Lin Dr. Samuel Lin is a double board certified plastic surgeon. He is a referral from my allergist whose sister had the same procedure. I read about Dr. Lin in Boston Magazine. He is, without hesitation, the consummate "Top Doc" of Boston. In my lifetime I have worked, interviewed and experienced surgeries with many----many a plastic surgeon. This man is the real deal. He's easy to talk to----ever so humble, yet, there is a quiet elegance about this man. Even though his waiting room is flooded with patients, he makes you feel like you are the center of his world. He stays intensely focused on every word. He would ask "If given the option, what do YOU want"? Seeing my transformation brought me to tears-----still does. I honestly look and feel better than I did in my late 30's. I tell everyone, want to see exactly what I look like? Check Venus de Milo!!! Dr. Ma anesthesiologist I had a lengthy discussion with Dr. Ma. He listened, took notes and addressed all my concerns. Honestly, I still expected to wake up in pain and nausea. None of these! Dr. Ma is awesome. I immediately left the hospital for McDonald's. Yep-----shake burger and fries! True story. Surgical staff This team is like no other. Wicked nervous would describe my demeanor on the day of surgery. As soon as I walked through the doors, I was immediately greeted by Phyllis the surgical receptionist. We talked. We laughed. We hugged. I thought what a great start. It just got better. I must acknowledge the exceptional care I received from this surgical staff. In prior surgeries, I've been left lying on a gurney----staring at the ceiling while the staff talked amongst themselves-----not here. These nurses included me in their conversations. They never left me alone for a second. They were professional, respectful, courteous and Fun-----an all around great group of gals! The genuine camaraderie amongst the team was evident. Must mention....they had nothing but high praise for Dr. Lin. My follow up appointment was with Calley, P.A. Breast healing is an entirely unique experience. You're constantly comparing one breast to the other. I had questions that I honestly felt better and relieved talking to another woman. I left the office feeling light as a feather. From beginning to end a truly positive-----and most remarkable experience. Thank you all for the exceptional care and totally life changing experience. Forever grateful, Mary aka Marty Z.

I would like to share my experience with Doctor Lin. Without a doubt, he is the most exceptional and personable Doctor my Mother has ever had. Results were nothing short of amazing and we are grateful for his skillful hands. His entire team is also a testament to their professionalism and dedication. They are all positive, friendly and made my mother really comfortable. The experience was truly life changing and there is really not enough we could say about the Doctor and his team. I cannot recommend them and thank them enough.
