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.

Couldn’t be happier after transferring my neurology care to Dr. Lin’s practice last year! Outstanding and exceptional experience with the entire staff and relieved by the comfort of knowing Dr. Lin truly cares for each of his patients. Dr. Lin expertise is unparalleled and he provided invaluable insight when integrating to Stanford’s Headache, Dysautonomia, Pain Management & Pain Psychology Clinics as he’s worked with several of their doctors. Dr. Lin is brilliant and compassionate - what more could you ask for in a neurologist! Highly recommend Dr. Lin for your future neurology care!!

Dr. Peter Lin is the third neurologist I’ve seen since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. The first DR ran me through a battery of exercises and said that I have Parkinson’s take this medication here’s a prescription It was $500 a month then I went to Stanford the diagnosis was confirmed there but it was just too far to drive. That’s when I called Valley Parkinson’s clinic and After meeting with Dr. Lin I felt that I had found a home. Best solution my for my symptoms turned out to be CBD!

Dr. Lin is the best doctor experience I have had in years. I have been to numerous doctors this year that were not helpful at all. Dr Lin takes the time to listen and understand your health concerns before rushing to judgement. He is one of very few doctors I will look forward to my appointments with.

My wife Kimberly has been seeing Dr Peter Lin for Chronic Migraines for the past 18 months. Dr Lin is terrific with administering the Botox shots and using spray to deaden area prior to shot and ultra sound device to confirm depth. We have seen the very best physicians in the area and Dr Lin is head and shoulders above the rest. Very good listener, brings such a rich experience and knowledge and options for my wife's condition, They were cutting edge with technique and Botox Savings card option
