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.

Excellent Physician
Dr. Lin is an outstanding doctor! He took his time to explain my treatment and patiently answered all of my questions. He is as kind as he is professional and knowledgeable. Cancer is simply horrible but having Dr. Lin on my side gives me hope and reassurance. The entire radiology team is compassionate, professional and efficient. Daniel definitely sets the positive tone and all of the nurses and technicians are equally positive. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lin.

Wow! what q amazing doctor!
I usually don't leave reviews for any doctor but in this case, I feel compelled to let people know what an extraordinary Doctor Lin is! He has made my journey with Prostate Cancer an easy and successful experience. His demeanor and knowledge keep you calm when facing this type of diagnosis. I have been recommending him to many people because you want your friends and colleagues to know when you find an excellent doctor. The office with Daniel Masters compliments Doctor Lin's efforts in caring for his patients!

Excellent Radiation Oncologist
Dr. Lin was thorough and patient when he first met us to describe our treatment plan. He made understanding the plan very easy for us to follow and was always willing to take the extra time to answer our questions. His gentle and friendly approach puts us at ease, after 49 treatments to our current post treatment follow-up we feel very confident in Dr. Lin’s care.

Excellent Physician!
I've been seeing Dr. Lin for 5-years and he and everyone on his staff at Hoag are amazing. Super professional, courteous with exemplary patience and compassion. I completed 26 radiation treatments and so far, no cancer remission so I'm thrilled. Hoag Irvine is a super modern facility and I highly recommend Dr. Lin.

Excellent doctor
Dr Lin treated me for radiation during my breast cancer journey in 2018 and I’ve continued to check in with him yearly. Dr Lin is compassionate and really takes the time to listen and explain. He gives great advice and offers a different perspective to your concerns. I never felt rushed and I always felt heard ( a rarity these days in dr’s offices) his whole team at hoag Irvine have the same approach, from the friendly check in to the nurses everyone is positive, caring and compassionate… I can’t say enough good things about this Dr… Thank you Dr Lin…

Phenomenal Radiation Oncologist!
I was diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer about 5 years ago. I researched a handful of radiation oncologists. A family friend recommended Dr. Lin and I am so grateful to have been under his care throughout my cancer journey. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring with excellent bedside manner. I am now in remission and thank God for using Dr. Lin in my healing.

Dr. Kevin Lin came highly recommended from my oncologist and was so kind, compassionate and thorough in his treatment. The entire staff at Hoag/Irvine radiation was top notch….they ALWAYS ran on time, never ever a wait. Everyone if joyful and pleasant to be around, always a smile of their faces. I find this not so common in medical offices, but this office truly stands out.

Caring and Compassionate Dr.
After learning the Pros & Cons of Surgery & Radiation Therapy, my wife & I decided for Radiation & Hormone Therapy.Coincidentally, my Hoag’s Urologic Oncologist, Dr. Robert Torrey, MD & Hoag’s Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Kevin Lin, MD coordinate and extremely work well together for my Prostate Cancer treatment.I’m so grateful to have Dr. Lin because of his intensive over 20 yrs experienced, kindness, friendly, communicate clearly, Caring & Compassionate which made me feel more comfortable.To his staff, Radiation Therapists & Radiation Oncology Nurses which made my life easier during the 15 min session, Mon-Fri for 6 weeks of External Beam Radiation Therapy & weekly follow ups by Dr. Lin.Overall, it’s above & beyond my expectations that I’ve dealt with a minimal side effects like diarrhea after the 2nd week of treatment & no post treatment wearing of diapers. Also Dr. Lin had successfully performed the SpaceOAR Hydrogel Placement.I strongly recommend Dr. Kevin Lin, MD.

Great Doctor!
As with previous reviews, my experience with Dr. Lin and his radiation staff was exceptional. Dr. Lin is very compassionate and I felt comfortable with him from my first visit. I had also heard good things about him from staff in other departments who had either worked with him before or knew of him. I’m grateful to have been assigned as his patient.
