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!

Dr. Lin is an amazing surgeon. My experience with him and his team was extremely positive. Dr. Lin is kind, courteous, and took the time to answer all of my questions. On the day of surgery he made me feel comfortable and confident about the operation. After surgery I was able to speak to the nursing staff whenever I had questions or concerns. I am thrilled by my results. My neck and back pain are gone! I highly recommend Dr. Lin!March 05, 2024
I came to see Dr Lin when my post reconstruction breasts weren't feeling or looking their best. Dr Lin helped me to come up with a surgical plan which he carried out with great skill 2 months ago. I am happy to say that my breasts look and feel great! The team at Dr Lin's office and the surgical team were all wonderful- listening to my concerns and answering my questions before and after surgery. Great experience!February 27, 2024
I thought about having breast reduction surgery for 10 years, a friend recommended Dr Lin, and the experience was nothing short of awesome! I am at the 6 week point of my recovery, and the results are amazing! No more back, neck, and shoulder pain, and all clothes fit so much better. The recovery process was so much easier than I thought, the only regret is that I waited so long to do this. Dr Lin and his team made this such a positive experience with their compassion, professionalism, and skill. I would highly recommend Dr Lin for this procedure if you are considering having a reduction, you will nothing but pleased with your results. A big thank you to Dr Lin and his team for all that you did to help me achieve such a wonderful outcome!!February 20, 2024
I wanted to share my experience of my Septoplasty with Dr. Samuel Lin. Throughout the process and in the recovery period, Dr. Lin and his team were all very communicative and respectful. As for the procedure itself, I could not be happier with the outcome. I initially broke my nose in basketball 8 ish years prior and had not been able to breathe through my nose. It was to the point that I honestly forgot people used their nose to breathe. After the surgery I can now not only breathe through my nose but I can take full breaths through my nose. I am very happy that I decided to have Dr. Lin be the surgeon to fix my nose.February 20, 2024
I have a very good experience with Dr. Lin. He is very professional, kind and caring, has great work ethic. He answers all the questions. Dr. Lin spends as much time with the patient as necessary. I will highly recommend him to everyone who needs it.February 20, 2024
First off, working with Dr. Lin and his team was wonderful. My experience was nothing but positive. I had a very unique case with complications from a previous septoplasty due to a broken nose. I had a large buildup of scar tissue and other various issues. It took years to find a surgeon and a course to pursue. It was well worth the wait. Dr. Lin & team were insightful, kind, and made the process easy; and unsurprisingly the procedure went smoothly and the results were excellent. Huge thanks to Dr. Lin & his team.February 06, 2024
I took a Virtual rotation with Dr. Lin during January 2024. I'm from Mexico, and during this month we took Zoom Classes about diverse topics in plastic surgery, that were pretty awesome. Some people may think that taking a rotation from your home, in a Zoom format, could be no interesting and lack of importance, but taking lectures from Dr. Lin, have the opportunity to ask him questions and have a little talk about the topics, was an amazing experience, that I 100% recommend to any student, professional medical doctor or IMG that has the opportunity to take it and have a path in plastic surgery. I feel like another doctor after this experience, and that without hesitations, I feel that Dr. Lin it's one of the best plastic surgeons in all over America, and maybe the world. Thanks a lot for what you teach me Dr. Lin, keep doing that incredible magic you do as a surgeon. Regards, Eduardo AlonsoJanuary 30, 2024
Dr. Lin did a fantastic job! I'm very pleased with the results of my septoplasty and rhinoplasty. I haven't been able to fully breathe out of left nostril for over 20 years! I'm not bothered everytime I look in the mirror or into the lense of a camera because my nose is straight now! Thank you 🙂January 23, 2024
I put off getting a septoplasty for about 5 years despite knowing i desperately needed one. I'd spend all day complaining about how tired I was because I wasn't sleeping, id wake up 8,10 times a night, I was always stuffy and couldn't breathe and it was driving me insane. I Finally gave in, even though the idea of surgery scared me. Reader if you are on the fence please take the leap. The most pain I felt was 1/10. I haven't woken up more than twice a night since my surgery. Feels like a fogs been lifted and I can think straight again now that I can sleep well. If all I had gained was that one first breath of air after the stints were removed it would have still been worth it.January 23, 2024
Dr. Lin is incredible! He helped me through the scariest time in my life. He is honest, kind, compassionate. He goes above and beyond to help his patients feel comfortable.January 23, 2024
