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.

Dr.Lin did surgery on me. I had a thyroidectomy January 5th. Dr lin is the best. I still have some problems. Dr lin knows about it. So I will continue to see him. I like him. He is very understanding of my condition. I definitely recommend him to someone that needed a great doctor.

I had throat cancer, Dr Lin performed extensive throat surgery on me. He is caring, responsive, listened to all my concerns, and answers every question. With every visit he is pleased at my progress and talks about what I need to do to improve.

I recently was referred to Dr. Lin for a complicated thyroidectomy. He is a detailed and brilliant physician and a masterful surgeon. He also is very caring and kind. I would give him and his office an excellent rating and would feel very comfortable referring him to anyone in need of his expertise.

I've been suffering very severe sleep apnea for at least 10 years . After going to several doctors and getting worse. I started blacking out , sleep walking ,and waking up at least 30 times a night. Sleep study showed that I had 57 events a hour of loss of breath and oxygen dropped as low as 67% .Then I was introduced to Dr. Lin. let me just say he really saved my life with a new sleep apnea surgery that no other Dr. would do. He is the best and I'll just say I feel like he is a blessing to me.

After visiting a few doctors who misdiagnosed, dr Lin immediately identified my fathers tonsil cancer and treated immediately. He is an excellent surgeon, doctor ans healer. I cannot say enough great thing things about dr Lin. Always kind and caring, close attention to detail and a brilliant mind. I could not imagine our cancer journey with anyone else in charge.
