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.

I have seen Dr. Lin for my asthma condition for several years now and have found him to be personable, professional and helpful in treating me. I feel confident in his care.

Dr Lin and his medical staff are exceptional. Ease at securing appointments and follow up phone calls are always returned. Dr. Lin is available for both in person appointments and online whenever I seem to be in need of medical care. He listens and he reacts. My health is not compromised ever!

Dr. Lin saw the elevated B/P that was taken upon admission, sat and chatted for about 5 minutes, retook it and it was much lower. Very impressive

Highly recommended.
Dr Lin is very good specialist. He the only dr who I met in course of my health problems who knew how to read and interpret CT and he did it right in front of me. I would trust him with any problem related to his specialty. He takes time to explain medical problems and does it in nice way. Office is very good too. All in all I hold dr Lin in high esteem and recommend him to anyone in need for this kind of pulmonologist.

Office Visit
Required pre-surgical release. Dr. Lin has been my physician for many years, and I have no interest in changing. The office staff (all) are proficient, calming and attentive. Dr. Lin is an excellent physician who is highly knowledgeable in medicine as a whole and not just his specialty. Meetings are not rushed, and he explains the requirements (if any) and results in a manner that is well understood. I have recommended him to family and friends and will continue.

Dr. Lin is a dedicated professional who provides outstanding, state of the art patient care. He provides comprehensive medical care in addition to spending time with his patients and explains things in terms that are easy to understand. He’s medical assistant Danielle, is outstanding too in that she also provides patient support and necessary resources as needed. Together, they go above and beyond what one would expect. I highly recommend this physician and his team.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lin?
Was able to see dr quickly. Staff was friendly. Doctor was nice. Doctor didn’t ask for an update in my medications without me providing the information first. Seems like the protocol fo me this office is always an at home sleep apnea test, which takes 4-6 weeks to even do. Even when they don’t think you have sleep apnea. So I left with little new information

This doctor will order up all sorts of unnecessary tests and present you with a bogus diagnosis. And for this, he will send huge bills ($600 for a 10-minute visit). I would not recommend this doctor for anything and feel he should be investigated.
