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!

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
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Lin and his team! I got a septoplasty to fix my breathing and they did a wonderful job and helped me adjust to my newfound nose breathing. Very helpful during the recovery process. Beyond satisfied with the results!June 24, 2025
I suffered trauma in my nose a long time ago while in heavy seas on a ship and I never thought to have it addressed. Fast forward about 18 years, my airways were scanned while seeing a breathing doctor for sleep apnea and it was discovered that my septum was deviated. Dr. Lin and his fantastic staff performed a flawless septoplasty and my breathing and sleeping is better than I remember it ever being. The entire process, from end-to-end was superior. Customer service, punctuality, professionalism, responsiveness, and skill were all top notch and I am eternally grateful. Thank you to Dr. Lin and his team!June 24, 2025
I suffered from an inability to breath through my nose for years, due to a past rhinoplasty procedure. Having Dr. Lin correct this through surgery has been a game changer for me. Everything from our first meeting until my final follow-up was easy. His staff is very competent and helpful, and I was taken on time for all my appointments. Dr. Lin has a great bedside manner and is an excellent physician. Finally, the surgical facility, staff and experience were exceptional.June 17, 2025
After two major aesthetic and functional injuries to my nose as a child, I spent over 30 years meeting with ENTs and doctors to decide to move forward with the procedure. It wasn't until I met with Dr Lin with his precise and thoughtful approach that I finally felt confident to move forward with the procedure. He met with me many times in person and on the phone and even called me the evening before my procedure. I look like myself only improved site of the injury and my breathing immediately improved. He is not pushy, but also offers a clear expert opinion, which is the ideal combination. Thank you Dr Lin and all the nurses who answered my emails and calls with urgency and care!June 17, 2025
Dr. Lin is the absolute BEST surgeon! He has been with me through 3 surgeries and always provides the best care. He was my plastic surgeon for my double mastectomy following my breast cancer diagnosis. Then my surgeon for my breast reconstruction. Finally he fixed my deviated septum while also combining it with my revision and another cancer related surgeon. I had some difficult recovery periods and Dr. Lin was always following up on my care, going above and beyond. My deviated septum surgery was amazing....I can finally breathe and sleep quietly. My recovery from this was pain-free and very simple. Dr. Lin and his team need 10 Stars for their care.June 10, 2025
Very happy with the results, everything was explained straight forward and the process wasn’t bad at all and totally worth it, I sleep a lot better now and overall my lifestyle has improved. Thank you to Dr.Lin and his team, cannot thank you enough! Please go see him!June 10, 2025
Five stars all around. My only suggestion is better communication with the front staff/scheduling/returning calls. Dr Lin was always readily available and reassuring. Excellent surgeon! Amazing bedside manner and extremely caring.June 10, 2025
If you're reading this and you're on the fence about whether or not to get a septoplasty, I can tell you that a lifetime of effortless breathing is 1,000% worth it. Overall I had an easy experience from consultation, to surgery, to post-operative care. Dr. Lin and his team are incredibly skilled in this procedure - before my surgery I was reading up on other people's recovery stories, and the recovery I had was far easier than anything I had imagined thanks to the way Dr. Lin performs this surgery. I would especially recommend him for septoplasty because he takes extra preventative measures against nasal perforations, which can occur post-operatively and require additional surgeries to repair. Since Dr. Lin performs surgery on patients with nasal perforations, he ensures that his septoplasty patients have the best chance possible against developing them post-op. I am about 2 months out and breathing better than I ever have in my life, and my only regret is that I wish I got this surgery sooner. Thank you Dr. Lin!June 03, 2025
Dr. Lin and his team have given me the best experience. Everyone from Office Manager Phyllis, the office staff, PAs and training Fellows, to the people at Beth Israel Hospital Surgery were always available to answer questions and offer reassurance. I wish I could remember everyone's name to say thank-you.May 20, 2025
