Testimonials


I am very pleased with the results of my procedure with Dr. Lin. From the very start, he answered all of my questions and was easy to communicate with. I felt very comfortable and safe in his hands, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, kind, and warm doctor.

I had Dr. Lin for two different cosmetic procedures and I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who is looking into getting cosmetics done. From the very beginning it was an incredible experience. He was always very helpful and patient in answering all the questions I asked him (there was over 30!) and he is great at making you feel comfortable and heard. One of the things I loved about him is he doesn't sugarcoat things to you and explains everything in as many different ways as you need so you fully understand everything. He gives you the best advice so that you may have the best possible outcomes. He checks in with you many times before surgery to make sure you are feeling good about your decision and is always reachable to you. The day of surgery went so smoothly. He has the very best team that takes care of everything from the IVs to placing the marks so that you are the least stressed as possible. I had no complications and I am in love with the results. I am in awe everyday with my new body and it is all thanks to Dr. Lin!

I am writing this letter as a follow up to my daughter, Angela’s, Rhinoplasty and deviated septum surgery in August. Knowing that you have so many patients, I will try to familiarize you with her situation. She had, at this point in time, just completed her freshman year in college and was about to transfer to San Francisco. She came to you primarily to have nose surgery. As a parent, I always believed that my daughter was a beautiful young woman. However, my husband and I supported her in her decision to have her nose “fixed”. She had a minor bump and had been the subject of bullying in high school and middle school because of her nose. As bright and as talented as my daughter was, her confidence in her appearance and in other aspects of her life had been compromised. She had a very successful surgery at your gifted hands. You were able to repair her deviated septum but, more importantly, you were able to shave down the bump and sculpt her nose. What a beautiful job! She just graduated, Cum-Laude, from college with a degree in Public Relations/Political Science. She is staying in San Francisco and has a job with a communications firm. I recently asked her what professor made the biggest impact on her college career and she quickly replied that, “It wasn’t a professor; it was Dr. Lin”. She went on to tell me in a mother/daughter conversation that Dr. Lin “made me realize that I wasn’t ugly”. This comment tugged at my heartstrings, but I wanted you to know that you were directly responsible for restoring her confidence in herself. We are very proud of her as she begins her career. She is a happy, vibrant, and accomplished young woman. You were a huge part of her success! Hope that all in well with you. Enclosed is a picture of her at her graduation. Thank you for your part in her happiness! Thank you so very much for your brilliant work!

I just wanted to extend my sincere thanks for the compassionate and skillful care you-and your team-have provided my spouse during her nose reconstruction. I have watched her regain her confidence, and spirit, with each healing day that passes. It is thanks to your skill that she did not have to go through the forehead flap procedure, and thanks to you that she is healing beautifully! Your caring and gentle nature transformed her nervousness and uncertainty into courage and confidence. Thank you for being who you are and doing what you do!

My visit to you on July 14 turned out to be bittersweet! I am thrilled at how well my nose healed – however, every time I visited your office it was a shot in the arm. You and your staff could not have been more supportive and encouraging. I will be forever grateful.

During my last two visits with you, there was so much for me to process with my new nose, that I never thanked you properly for all that you did. I could not be happier with the results. For the first time, I can breathe and the cosmetic outcome is perfection. You cannot see the suture line! Your work is impeccable. I am very grateful to you, and it will be a pleasure to recommend you to my friends and colleagues.

Dear Dr. Lin,
I really appreciate the time and effort you took into making my nose surgery a success. You made me feel so comfortable and I couldn’t be happier with my results! Thank you for helping me get my confidence back. You are truly an incredible doctor.

Thank you so much for the great work you did on my breast reduction. I can’t tell you how much happier (not to mention easier) my life is now, and I have you to thank. I have been recommending you to everyone who asks, and I will continue to do so. Keep up the great work!

When I took off the bandages and the surgical bra and looked in the mirror, for the first time since my mastectomy cancer was not looking back at me. Thank you so much. I am proud and always have been to be a cancer survivor. It is like a badge of honor that reminds me when I doubt myself I can do whatever I have to. However before the surgery I didn’t feel like I looked the same. Not only am I proud to say I am a breast cancer survivor, but I also thanks to you look better than I did before. May God bless you and your family. Please enjoy the cookies that my daughter and I made. Thanks again.

Just wanted to drop a quick line to tell you how grateful I am for your recently performed surgery. I feel fantastic, look awesome and only wish I had done it sooner. A-One service by all. Thank you so much. I am forever grateful.

I’m so grateful for all you’ve done for me this year – thank you. Merry Christmas!

Thank you to Dr. Lin, his staff, and nurses! I had my initial consultation for a breast reduction and tummy tuck after an 80-lb weight loss in October 2023, a second consultation in January 2024, and scheduled my surgery for April 3rd. I am now 6 weeks post op. A few notes on my experience: - I had my consultations and one of my follow-ups with Calley Lynch who was fantastic. She answered all of my questions, took pre op photos, and explained the process. - I then worked with Phyllis to schedule my surgery. She was also extremely helpful. I was given a list of medications to stop a few weeks prior to surgery, however I am on a GLP-1 and it was not listed (must be stopped 2 weeks prior to surgery), so I think the sheet needs to be updated. I also wish I was given a bit more written detail on the medications I'd be prescribed, dosing schedule, scar care, swelling timeline, etc. ahead of time. - About a week prior to surgery I got a call from a nurse who went over my medical history and what to expect the day of surgery. - The morning of surgery Dr. Lin spoke with me and was meticulous in marking me up. He really listened to what I wanted - it's clear he takes a lot of pride in his work. The anesthesiologist explained every step, and the nurses were so kind. - I got my drains out about a week after surgery, but was extremely swollen until about 4wpo. The first 1-2 weeks are very tough but Dr. Lin's team was always available to answer any questions. I am happy so far and look forward to seeing my final results in a few months!

My experience at BIMDC with Dr. Lin has been extremely amazing throughout my procedure. I had a breast reduction in late January and every step of the way has been super informative and helpful. I immediately felt shoulder and back relief post-op and was able to be back at my hands-on job 6 weeks after surgery. I work in a facility where I am required to lift up to 40 lbs on the daily and also continuously walk up and down stairs. I was more than comfortable returning thanks to the reassurance and guidance provided. The healing process went by well and I always knew I could reach out for any questions. It was such an amazing experience and I would recommend Dr. Lin to anyone interested.

Dr. Lin was fantastic, he did an amazing job on my rhinoplasty after I was in a cycling accident. I broke my nose in two places, and he helped me every step of the way. First with a closed reduction, then a rhino and septoplasty to help with breathing issues and cosmetic changes after the accident. My nose looks so natural to me, and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Lin’s bedside manner is fantastic as well, I highly recommend.

Laura Steere
The process was very smooth. Dr. Lin spent a lot of time answering all my questions. The recovery was much easier than expected, and the staff was amazing in the recovery room. All of the staff were open to answering questions, and reassuring any worries about the upcoming surgery.

Megan
I came to Dr.Lin for a septoplasty, I had the same procedure in the past with another Dr and never felt much of a difference. I came to Dr. Lin after lots of research online and reading reviews and I have to say he lived up to the ratings. He and his team made the entire process very easy from start to finish are were very communicative. The amount of relief I feel after my procedure with him is life changing! I highly recommend Dr. Lin!

Matthew Muldowney
Wonderful experience with Dr. Lin and the staff throughout treatment. Very professional and receptive to patients.

Amber Bourgault
I had a very positive experience with Dr. Lin and his staff. He had a meticulous attention to detail and took the extra time to answer my questions. Most importantly I was very satisfied with my end result! I would highly recommend him to any family member or friend.

Berna Buyukozturk
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lin and his staff. Not only his staff at the office at Shapiro but the staff at One Brookline Place where the surgeries are performed. I had THE best experience with every single person I met. They put all anxieties at ease immediately. Dr. Lin is so caring and so empathetic and truly a master at what he does. If you're considering having anything done, please please do yourself the favor of going with Dr. Lin and his team. I wish I could give more than five stars to be honest.

Jina
I had a fantastic experience with Dr Lin and his team. I had some apprehension and anxiety before starting the process of fixing my deviated septum, but once I met Dr Lin and his team, all apprehensions subsided. I was amazed that I had zero pain after surgery and was always able to get any questions answered timely and thoroughly. I am able to breath out of my nose for the first time in over 10 years. Overall, great experience.
