Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This Dr is terrible. Rude. Impatient. After surgery told me that of course my broken hand with pins was going to hurt, that I needed to live with that pain, that it couldnt and shouldnt hurt THAT bad. When I said I was having trouble working(my desk job) he said why was I even back at work, I should be having someone take care of me like a spouse, when I mentioned again I was a single parent he was mad. he didnt even give me a dr note saying i needed time off. he was mad I said my hand was(and is) burning and shooting pain down my finger, but that I was just complaining about the pain and no one else ever did. he was mad im allergic to codine and the er gave me codone which worked. mad that I said the meds not covered by insurance was all I was going to get. Cut off my soft cast and put on a hard cast sloppy because 4 days after surgery I was still in crippling pain.

I broke my hand last year I went 3 times and he saw me not even 10 minutes, never checked my hand, and they have a sign that you need to pay cash or check only at the time of the visit, I paid cash and didn't keep the receipt, few months after I got a bill for 15.00 for the 1st visit, they said I never paid, I will never go there again

Dr. Lin is an excellent surgeon and a really good doctor. I have a rare disease. Dr. Lin knew about the disease and was hesitant to do surgery to remove a painful calcinosis, but I insisted. He did a great job and it has not returned. Dr. Lin also has a great sense of humor which is always helpful in stressful situations! I highly recommend him.
