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!

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Lin who did my rhinoplasty and septoplasty. The entire team was very helpful from start to finish. I am thrilled with the results so far in my healing journey.March 31, 2026
I saw the reviews and decided to make an appointment with Dr. Samuel Lin. I waited months for my appointment only to see his assistant. I was in the office for a good hour they took down my information and then tell me to make another appointment to see the doctor. I was surprised. I waited months for this appt. Now I had to schedule another appointment to see the doctor. I scheduled the appt anyway only to be told again I had to wait months. I scheduled the appt nonetheless. I got to my second appt and was late due to traffic and weather. I indicated could he at least see me for five minutes and was told no to reschedule. This game of seeing the assistant first and then scheduling another appt to see him is just a tactic to keep charging your insurance company for more money. I would rather see another doctor that cares more about their patients and not about money.March 31, 2026

In 2013, I had bariatric surgery . After losing 287 lbs I was referred to Dr Lin's office for reconstructive surgery for the excess skin on my abdomen. My first phone call was to Phyllis in scheduling. She was awesome to work with Answered all my questions in reference to what I needed to know prior to my appointment. When I came in for the first pre op appointment I met with the incredible staff. Jamie was Very helpful. She took the photos to track the before and after phones. Once me surgery date was given to me, The patient portable was a valuable asset to use to follow all appointments and correspondence with the Team! The day of surgery could not have been better. The surgery was a success. I had the drains removed the following week. The 5 week check up showed the majority of my successful "look" on the abdominal area. I am 48 years old and feel like i have a new lease on life. Anyone who is lucky enough to have Dr. Lin and his team as your care providers, will, without a doubt, have a successful outcome!March 17, 2026
I had a breast reduction with Dr. Lin and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the consultation to the surgery and follow-ups, he was incredibly professional, patient, and caring. The entire staff was wonderful as well. He answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. My results look amazing and have truly improved my quality of life. I highly recommend Dr. Lin to anyone considering a breast reduction!March 17, 2026
It was a long journey since I started trying to improve my breathing. I had two previous surgeries that unfortunately did nothing. The doctors at Beth Israel — Dr. Caradona was the first who told me that the surgery should be done by a plastic surgeon, because my problem wasn’t only related to breathing but also involved the cartilage, which he wouldn’t address since it was the tip of my nose. Dr. Lee examined me, took into consideration everything I was going through with these issues, and did an excellent job. His team was truly amazing with me, providing great care. Today, I can say that I’m finally breathing well. For the first time, I can rinse my nose with saline water and feel what others used to describe — that it comes out the other side. I had never experienced that before. So I’m very happy with Dr. Li and his entire team.March 03, 2026
Dr. Samuel Lin did an absolute amazing job on my surgery- breast lift. His kindness, thorough evaluation, compassion and absolute TALENT made my entire journey an amazing experience. The surgery itself was an absolute success- I look 10 years younger. His entire team is as wonderful as he is. I cannot recommend Dr. Lin enough (and his team). I am just sorry I didn't do this procedure sooner.February 24, 2026
Dr. Linn and his staff were extremely friendly and professional to work with. Dr. Linn is kind, attentive to questions and makes you feel at ease, in addition to being an excellent surgeon. I am a nurse with day surgery background and I am extremely pleased with my results and would highly recommend him to others. His support staff was always patient, polite and professional and available with questions. Lastly, the communication amongst the nurses, residents, receptionist and surgeon was superb and is very efficient.February 17, 2026
