    Dr. Lin and his staff came highly recommended. I've heard been hearing about them for years and was so pleased that they were able to fit me in quickly. No one ever wants surgery, but if I needed it, I would have a huge comfort level with his operating on me. Nice staff, kind and caring. Thank you, Dr. Lin

    The doctor is excellent and his team is amazing too

    The front office woman was very happy and cheerful and made me (wife/I) feel very welcomed. The MA who took vitals was super pleasant and friendly. Sam PA was very easy to talk to and really listened to my history, present problem and possible solutions. She w as very knowledgeable about the range of possibilities for my care. Dr. Lin was equally as nice and personable. Both he and Sam introduced themselves to my wife, shook her hand and welcomed her into the conversation and discussion of my treatment plan. And tbh, I had been “warned” that Dr. Lin was exceeding knowledgeable, but tended to be brusque and “matter-of-fact” in his personality. However, I did not experience that whatsoever! I already have, and will continue to, laude the competency, dedication, professionalism, and friendliness shown by each and every staff member at your office. I will also share my personal experience and recommend your office to my patients as well.

    Amanda at the front desk was-is Amazing! You can tell she really cares about the patient. The nurse that took me back to the room was AMAZING! she spent extra time with me explaining everything to me! Then another person came in to talk to me about what is goi ng on with me, she was kind but didn't stay long! Finally, Doc Lin came in and he was also very kind and informative.
