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.

An amazing doc!
Everything around me has changed the past 20 years. I've moved, my kids have grown up. Dr. Lin's office keeps getting bigger and busier, but Dr. Lin hasn't changed a bit. He has gotten to know me and my skin well. Every visit has been great.

An bright, experienced doc!
I feel well taken care of every time we see Dr. Lin and his team. Everyone from the front desk team, to the couple docs we have seen at the office have all been amazing. Dr. Lin’s credentials and demeanor speak for themselves. Talking with some friends about doctors, of the 12 people in the room, Dr. Lin or Dr. Farley Loftus took care of 10 of us! They are fixtures in the community!

The best dermo office I have been to
My wife and I have visited several times over the past few years, and have always been impressed with the doctor's calm, clear explanations.

The top dermatologist in the area
Dr. Lin is incredibly kind and has a really reassuring demeanor. He is a local guy (a few years older than me from my old high school) with world class credentials. My daughter hated going to the doctor. She has gotten better over the years, but years ago Dr. Lin and Dr. Farley Loftus both were amazing with her. Fortunately, I am the only regular at the practice. The office has always gotten us in when we need to, and as busy as it can get, they are efficient take care of me , and I am on my way.

Dr. Lin is my savior
The office was very easy to find, but in a busy street in Short Hills. Dr. Lin is very intelligent and explains things very well to me. The staff in the office is very busy, but still takes great care of me and I appreciate them. Dr. Lin and his nurses had to work very hard to get my prescriptions filled from the awful insurance company who kept denying my medication. After two weeks, the pharmacist was finally able to get it covered, and helped me a lot.

I was a patient of Dr. Lin's from Columbia Medical Center. I was pleasantly surprised to find he practices in NJ as well, since I live here. He is the best in the area for my complex problem. He is the best in the area for my friends and family for their simpler skin problems. He is extremely busy, but always makes time for me. I will always recommend him.
