Testimonials

Dr. Lin and his medical team and staff made me feel comfortable every step on my journey. I cannot thank them enough. I am in love with the results!

Be wary of these positive reviews. The bulk of them are from Fellows and Residents that are looking to build rapport from Dr. Lim in exchange for positive references and favourable academic review. I’m a physician and I had 3 rhinoplasty consultations with Dr.Lim. I found his staff unprofessional and disorganized, it was a battle getting them in concert with each other and to move forward. Dr. Lim decided to show me photos from his iPad on previous patients, by holding an iPad in front of a poor quality webcam? This was a joke for you couldn’t see anything and is an indicator of competency. The images were poor, the work was subtle or not noticeable on his previous patients - you can see this on his website as well, nothing dramatic. When I asked for visual renders to ensure we were aligned in the surgical plan, he was dismissive, then finally agreed after a great deal of persuasion, only to never ever follow through. Folks, please don’t ever allow a surgeon to do rhinoplasty without providing you a visual representation of the goals. Dr. Lim is kind, but I found his rhinoplasty work to be modest and very subtle. His refusal to generate any type of a visual render of what to expect was the red flag, for you have to sign off that for any revision surgery you will also bear the entire cost of the full surgery at the full price… there’s no accountability with Dr.Lim and you need to be mindful of this. I had my rhinoplasty elsewhere… far too many concerns with Dr.Lim.

Dr Lin and his staff could not have been more helpful throughout this process. Dr Lin explained everything in great detail, he even called the night before my surgery to go over everything again and answer any lingering questions I had. I felt really at ease with the surgical staff and am very happy with my results. Thanks!

I had the pleasure of working with an incredible plastic surgery team lead by Dr. Samuel Lin. I've had three previous surgeries, including an initial breast reconstruction and two revisions done at a different hospital. All three surgeries left me unpleased with the results. I was ready to give up on achieving the aesthetics I so desired and settle with the results I had, thinking that my vision wasn't achievable given the mastectomy. Until a friend of mine had the misfortune of having to have mastectomy and reconstruction couple of years ago and the results of her reconstruction were 100% better than mine. I've decided to seek consultation with Dr. Lin. From the moment I walked into Dr. Lin's office at Beth Israel hospital, I felt the deep care and support for my quest for better outcome. Dr. Lin's skill and expertise were evident through the entire process that lead up to the day of my surgery. Dr. Lins' deep care for is patients, expertise, the plan, commitment to achieving the best possible outcome are truly remarkable. Not only Dr. Lin and his team delivered remarkable results, but I felt deeply supported through my entire journey. Dr. Lin, his staff, the anesthesiology team, post-op nurses, EVERYONE on this team are dedicated to their craft and their patients wellbeing. THANK YOU for making me feel whole and beautiful. The results of my revision are beyond anything I could ever imagine. You are the best in every way!

Each patient deserves a care team and a doctor who is totally committed to their care, exceptional outcomes, and feelings, and Dr. Samuel Lin and his team truly go above and beyond to accomplish this. Dr. Samuel Lin is someone who takes the time to get to know you and your family. He is thoughtful and takes time to answer each question throughout the process, even calling the evening before procedures to check in and answer questions. No request or question is too small for Dr. Lin to personally answer, and he takes ample time each appointment and on phone calls to ensure that he hears each question or request and gives a thoughtful answer to each. In addition to his kind demeanor, Dr. Lin's outcomes are fantastic, with great results just weeks after surgery. During a stressful and uncertain time, Dr. Lin is a compassionate guiding force who makes the surgical and recuperation process successful and positive. I highly recommend Dr. Lin for you or your family members.

Dr. Lin and his staff were amazing! I am really pleased with the outcome of my breast reduction surgery that I had done with Dr. Lin. My neck and back pain significantly decreased following the procedure. I used to be a size 40DD and now I am a 38B. 🙂 I now feel like I can maintain a healthier lifestyle and work out without any trouble. Also, I had no difficulties at all with this process thanks to Dr. Lin's calm demeanor throughout. I heartily suggest seeing him.

I had an amazing experience getting a septoplasty and rhinoplasty with Dr. Lin! He took his time during the consultation and pre-surgical appointments to thoroughly explain the procedure and expectations. He took a conservative approach to the cosmetic portion to the rhinoplasty, which I appreciated as I was looking for a minor change. The surgery went amazing and the recovery was seamless - I felt and looked "back to normal" almost 1 week out. I would recommend Dr. Lin and and his team to anyone!

I enjoyed the experience, the classes were concise and relevant. Additionally, at the end of each class, Dr. Lin showed us videos of surgical procedures related to the topic, which allowed us to further consolidate the information. It was a pleasure to attend this rotation with Dr. Samuel Lin."

I was really excited about this opportunity, to participate in the virtual surgery rotation at plastic surgery, and believe it was a very valuable experience. Taking part in a rotation like this, at such a prestigious institution, under the guidance of a great expert, and in a field I've always held in high regard. At all times, Dr. Lin has consistently shown great attentiveness to the group, always engaging, answering all questions, and making himself available. I believe that the online format has provided a significant opportunity for me to participate in the virtual surgery rotation, especially considering myself as an under-represented student My expectations for this program were of great learning, and I believe that even in a virtual format, it was possible to make the most of the practical applications in each discussion, getting closer and closer to what it would be like in a United States Clinical Experience. I had the opportunity to get to know and become familiar with the highest level and quality in the practice of plastic surgery at a reference center in the United States. I also got to meet other students who share the same interest in the field and each of them is at a different stage of their journey.

I hemmed and hawed for several years over whether to have my deviated septum corrected and finally went for it this year. On one hand, I wish I had done it sooner because it has been literally life changing - I can breathe, I sleep better, I have had fewer sinus issues and headaches. On the other hand, I am so glad I waited because I was able to work with Dr. Lin and his team, all of whom have been helpful and informative and, I believe, immensely talented. My recovery was surprisingly painless, with no need for painkillers beyond over the counter meds. I 100% attribute this to the skill and care of this team. Seriously, deeply, thank you all!
