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.
Thank you for your caring ways. Your kindness and gentle manner helped to put me and my family at ease. Your expertise is also very much appreciated. Please enjoy this pen made out of jade. It is supposed to bring good luck.
Thank you so much for the excellent care.
Merry Christmas and a very happy and healthy year! Thank you for all of your wonderful care! I feel so blessed to have found you and your wonderful staff to help get me through this ordeal. There is truly a sense of peace that is felt with the care you all provide! God bless you all and your families!

Highly recommend Dr Lin and his staff. Couldn't be happier with the process and the results! If you are ever considering plastic surgery Dr. Lin and his team are your go to. I had septo/rhino and 100% satisfied.October 14, 2025

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Samuel Lin and the entire team! From my first consultation to post-op follow-ups, I felt cared for, informed, and comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Lin made me feel informed, comfortable, and confident in my decision. My results are beautiful and natural, exactly what I hoped for. Brooke, the receptionist, was friendly, organized, and made scheduling and follow-ups so smooth. Calley, the PA, was amazing, so kind, knowledgeable, and always patient with my many questions throughout the process. My results exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Highly recommend to anyone considering plastic surgery.October 07, 2025

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Samuel Lin. He performed my septoplasty surgery, and the results have been life-changing — I can finally breathe comfortably again. Dr. Lin was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in explaining every step of the process. His professionalism and attention to detail made me feel completely at ease before, during, and after the procedure. The recovery was smooth, and the improvement in my breathing has been remarkable. I highly recommend Dr. Lin to anyone considering septoplasty or any ENT-related surgery — he’s truly exceptional.October 07, 2025

Dr. Lin made the process easy and comfortable for me. The consultations were very informative and gave me a lot of confidence going into surgery. The recovery process was fairly easy, and I was able to return to most normal activities, including work, after one week (when I got my cast off). I love my cosmetic results, but I can also breathe so much better than before. I highly recommend Dr. Lin for any cosmetic or internal nasal surgery.October 02, 2025

I had a closed rhinoplasty with Dr. Lin to smooth a sharp, bony bump on my nose bridge, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dr. Lin is by far the best doctor I’ve ever been to, he truly listens and makes the process as easy and comfortable as possible. He is very skilled and his team is incredible: Brooke was so friendly and explained every detail for billing/logistics, Jaimie the nurse was so amazing and comforting, and the anesthesiologist was also very nice and calming (especially impressive since I’m terrified of needles). I was nervous going in, but they all made me feel completely safe and cared for. The surgery itself was smooth, and my recovery was almost unbelievably easy - I had no pain, minimal swelling, barely any bruising, and only needed two Tylenols total. Dr. Lin and his team truly advocate for their patients. They worked around my busy schedule and even stepped in to help resolve a hospital billing error on my behalf. It’s rare to find a doctor and team who genuinely care this much and I couldn't recommend them more.October 01, 2025

Doctor Lin and all the residents and nurses were super helpful and the surgery significantly helped my breathing. Thank you!September 30, 2025

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Lin and everyone in his office. Any and every question or concern I had was addressed in detail, which coming from an overthinker, was extremely helpful. The surgery and recovery process was far smoother than anything I could have expected and the end result was phenomenal. I can now breathe through my nose better than I ever thought possible!September 16, 2025

I was thrilled to get to work with Dr Lin. My experience overall was easy, supportive and all my questions were answered all throughout the process. Even when I changed the areas I wanted to focus on, Dr Lin and team made that switch seamless and accomplished all my goals. I had two major procedures done and my results were exactly as described. During the healing process after surgery I was able to ask all kinds of questions and get support quickly. From start to finish I’m thrilled with the results and with my experience overall.August 26, 2025

To begin my left nostril was 95% blocked. A great effort was required to blow my nose. Irrigate with saline, block right nostril and blow and rinse for several minutes. After much research I chose Dr. Samuel Lin to correct the problem with septoplasty and other procedures. 8 days after surgery, nasal splints are removed. The result are immediate relief and clear breathing through my nose for first time in a couple years. I followed the doctors protocol of saline rinsing, no blowing my nose, and not submerging under water. Also avoided pressure on nose or wearing glasses. My experience was life changing. I can breath freely and walking and running is easier. Sleep is vastly improved. I also had a mass at the back of my nose Dr. Lin observed and removed knowing it that would improve my breathing also. I had post nasal drip that is almost completely resolved also. Possibly from removal of the mass. I am thankful I chose Dr. Lin for my surgery. The staff here at Beth Israel Deaconess plastic surgery have all been helpful. Every minor irritant would cause my nose to clog up. Mowing the lawn and walking or driving in exhaust filled traffic. I have none of those issues now. I suggest following Dr. Lin's protocols for recovery to the letter for a completely successful outcome.August 12, 2025

Very amazing doctor! had a breathing issue and had previous surgery with another doctor but the issue wasn’t corrected. Dr.Lin understood my concerns and did an amazing job. He got rid of my bump and fixed my breathing issue.August 12, 2025
