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 a terrific experience with my staged breast reduction and bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction at this practice. The staff at the front desk, the nurses, PAs and Dr. Lin took excellent care of me through multiple procedures. I'd recommend this team and Beth Israel to anyone in my position. thank you to a great team!July 22, 2025
I had a breathing problem for many years, finally a doctor addressed my issue Dr Lin did my septoplasty surgery, the surgery went smooth and Dr.lin, and his staff were great addressing my questions before and during the healing proces. now 6 weeks post surgery, i came in for my check up and everything look great I don’t usually place a review but i am happy how the procedure went and want to share my storyJuly 22, 2025
The most caring staff! I was treated with respect and dignity throughout the process it was a total partnership. My needs were always top priority. Thank you to Cally and the entire staff for always being the best cheerleaders. It is a journey and was glad that I had Dr. Lin as my doctor and guide.July 22, 2025
Dr Lin was a lifesaver, I couldn’t breathe at all out of my nose and he did a procedure and I can breathe again it’s amazing! I have started running again because it’s just made such a huge difference. I highly recommend Dr. Lynn for any nasal surgery.July 15, 2025
The process was very smooth. Everyone were very nice and caring. Made sure I feel okay before and after the surgery. All staff, including Dr. Lin, were very gentle and kept my privacy throughout the whole process. I'm very pleased with the results and the scar is not as visible as I thought it will be. So far it looks aesthetic and flat.July 15, 2025
I had a great experience with Dr. Lin and the entire team at Beth Israel! Dr. Lin was very clear and answered all my questions. His bedside manner was warm and he was very patient and skilled throughout the whole process. I have already recommended Dr. Lin to friends interested in a plastic surgery procedure!July 08, 2025
I had my surgery in January, 2025. Everything about the procedure was wonderful. All my questions were answered with clarity. Dr. Lin was amazing and very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to undergo this procedureJuly 08, 2025
I had my breast reduction surgery back in January of 2025, and I can't be any happier. Dr. Lin is amazing and I felt super comfortable with him and along with his staff. This was my first surgery and he made me feel very comfortable. Thank you so much Dr. Lin I truly appreciate you!July 08, 2025
I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Lin and staff. I has a double mastectomy and implant reconstruction about five years ago and had some complications with one of my implants. I loved my surgeon at that time, but he relocated to another city. I came to see Dr. Lin based on glowing recommendations that I read...everywhere! Great experience from start to finish: I was able to get in for a consult fairly quickly and schedule my surgery in a timely manner as well. All of the nurses, residents, and staff were friendly, well-informed, and took time to answer my questions and concerns about my surgery, scheduling was easy, calls answered promptly, and (it's a small thing comparatively) but the location and parking were easy versus the charade at many other city hospitals. Dr. Lin has a wonderful bedside manner to go along with his skills as a surgeon...which isn't always the case! Very easy to talk to and approachable, Imy appointments never felt rushed, never kept me waiting, and he anticipated and allayed all of my concerns about the procedure. Most importantly I am thrilled with my results and so glad I stopped putting off this revision surgery. If you are looked for a great doctor and staff, look no further. In a town full of excellent options for medical care, I would definitely come back to Dr. Lin in the future should the need arise.July 01, 2025
Great experience with doctor Lynn, did not experience anything I wasn’t told for recovery. The first week after surgery is rough but after the splints are out breathing is improved greatly. Some drainage also happens throughout healing but nothing that hurts. No severe pain throughout the entire process as long as saline rinse and proper care is done. Overall great experience.June 24, 2025
