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.

Concerned Professional
Dr. Lin has been my primary for decades, through the good and bad. Always working with me on treatments and open to holistic and some alternative treatments, Dr Lin offers comprehensive competence whether for my annual physical or for my more challenging issues.Dr Lin has been great with addressing weight issues - getting nutritionist, PharmD, diabetes specialist, etc.Very thorough and kind, making sure he understands all my medical needs, even conditions at home that present challenges to treatment.He has never hesitated to get a specialists opinion (orthopedic, respiratory, phys therapist, endocrinologist, etc) for me.I trust Dr Lin with my life.The doctor tells it like it is and we work together on a plan.

Not recommended. Seems that he is more concerned about preventative care (I get it -that’s what insurance companies pay him to do) but if you have a concern or issue - he’ll tell you in other word “don’t worry about it, it’s likely stress, you should loose weight and get to BMI 23” (Not what I‘m willing to pay for - I can figure that out on my own). These recommendations do not (mentally or physically) temporarily relive pain, dizziness, and chest pain/tightness to safely (Or confidently) achieve his relative goal of BMI 23 (starting at 38)! I’d suggest: we see a gastroenterologist, rule out other possible physical conditions while working to reduce stress/weight to BMI 30. Then circle back to stress, and ”raise the Bar to BMI 23”! Seems practical and reasonable to me. I’m willing to make the changes and put in the work that I need to make to my well being (and it will be difficult). - but will not be back to visit Dr. Lin

I have been going to Dr Lin for several years now and I have been very satisfied with the care I have received. I feel he always listens to me and have never felt rushed during my office visits. He is very knowledgeable yet I never feel like he's talking down to me. He's a great doctor!

I have been going to Dr. Lin for several years. He is proactive in his approach to preventative medicine, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I especially appreciate how Dr. Lin does not insult my intelligence or speak to me in a condescending fashion (as other healthcare providers have in the past). He treats me as the adult I am, and he respects my ability to follow his instructions.

Dr Lin is my primary care physician and I would recommend him highly. I have memory issues along with some cognitive problems and Jeff and his staff go above and beyond for me. He is patient with me when I can't remember things and has always given me extra help with things that should be easy for me but aren't, like navigating referrals and doing paperwork.

I went to this doctor when I couldn't get in with my doctor, I have never been treated so bad in my life, he basically accused me of being a drug addict, he did not even refill my prescription, he said in a round about way that Marty Kjos (my doctor) doesn't know what she is doing. he then accused me of selling my klonpin because I was a few days early for my 3 month appointment. so according to him I am a drug addict and I sell drugs and Marty has no clue of what she is doing.

Dr Lin addresses my concerns fully and calls me promptly to inform me of test results. He is a personable and compassionate caregiver. I couldn't ask for better care.

Went to Dr. Lin as I was not able to get into my normal physician. His attitude was to say the least superficial, and more in the way of just getting through the visit. I have 20 years experience in health care, and this person does not deserve the title Doctor.
