Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with an incredible plastic surgery team lead by Dr. Samuel Lin. I've had three previous surgeries, including an initial breast reconstruction and two revisions done at a different hospital. All three surgeries left me unpleased with the results. I was ready to give up on achieving the aesthetics I so desired and settle with the results I had, thinking that my vision wasn't achievable given the mastectomy. Until a friend of mine had the misfortune of having to have mastectomy and reconstruction couple of years ago and the results of her reconstruction were 100% better than mine. I've decided to seek consultation with Dr. Lin. From the moment I walked into Dr. Lin's office at Beth Israel hospital, I felt the deep care and support for my quest for better outcome. Dr. Lin's skill and expertise were evident through the entire process that lead up to the day of my surgery. Dr. Lins' deep care for is patients, expertise, the plan, commitment to achieving the best possible outcome are truly remarkable. Not only Dr. Lin and his team delivered remarkable results, but I felt deeply supported through my entire journey. Dr. Lin, his staff, the anesthesiology team, post-op nurses, EVERYONE on this team are dedicated to their craft and their patients wellbeing. THANK YOU for making me feel whole and beautiful. The results of my revision are beyond anything I could ever imagine. You are the best in every way!

Each patient deserves a care team and a doctor who is totally committed to their care, exceptional outcomes, and feelings, and Dr. Samuel Lin and his team truly go above and beyond to accomplish this. Dr. Samuel Lin is someone who takes the time to get to know you and your family. He is thoughtful and takes time to answer each question throughout the process, even calling the evening before procedures to check in and answer questions. No request or question is too small for Dr. Lin to personally answer, and he takes ample time each appointment and on phone calls to ensure that he hears each question or request and gives a thoughtful answer to each. In addition to his kind demeanor, Dr. Lin's outcomes are fantastic, with great results just weeks after surgery. During a stressful and uncertain time, Dr. Lin is a compassionate guiding force who makes the surgical and recuperation process successful and positive. I highly recommend Dr. Lin for you or your family members.

Dr. Lin and his staff were amazing! I am really pleased with the outcome of my breast reduction surgery that I had done with Dr. Lin. My neck and back pain significantly decreased following the procedure. I used to be a size 40DD and now I am a 38B. 🙂 I now feel like I can maintain a healthier lifestyle and work out without any trouble. Also, I had no difficulties at all with this process thanks to Dr. Lin's calm demeanor throughout. I heartily suggest seeing him.

I had an amazing experience getting a septoplasty and rhinoplasty with Dr. Lin! He took his time during the consultation and pre-surgical appointments to thoroughly explain the procedure and expectations. He took a conservative approach to the cosmetic portion to the rhinoplasty, which I appreciated as I was looking for a minor change. The surgery went amazing and the recovery was seamless - I felt and looked "back to normal" almost 1 week out. I would recommend Dr. Lin and and his team to anyone!

I enjoyed the experience, the classes were concise and relevant. Additionally, at the end of each class, Dr. Lin showed us videos of surgical procedures related to the topic, which allowed us to further consolidate the information. It was a pleasure to attend this rotation with Dr. Samuel Lin."

I was really excited about this opportunity, to participate in the virtual surgery rotation at plastic surgery, and believe it was a very valuable experience. Taking part in a rotation like this, at such a prestigious institution, under the guidance of a great expert, and in a field I've always held in high regard. At all times, Dr. Lin has consistently shown great attentiveness to the group, always engaging, answering all questions, and making himself available. I believe that the online format has provided a significant opportunity for me to participate in the virtual surgery rotation, especially considering myself as an under-represented student My expectations for this program were of great learning, and I believe that even in a virtual format, it was possible to make the most of the practical applications in each discussion, getting closer and closer to what it would be like in a United States Clinical Experience. I had the opportunity to get to know and become familiar with the highest level and quality in the practice of plastic surgery at a reference center in the United States. I also got to meet other students who share the same interest in the field and each of them is at a different stage of their journey.

I hemmed and hawed for several years over whether to have my deviated septum corrected and finally went for it this year. On one hand, I wish I had done it sooner because it has been literally life changing - I can breathe, I sleep better, I have had fewer sinus issues and headaches. On the other hand, I am so glad I waited because I was able to work with Dr. Lin and his team, all of whom have been helpful and informative and, I believe, immensely talented. My recovery was surprisingly painless, with no need for painkillers beyond over the counter meds. I 100% attribute this to the skill and care of this team. Seriously, deeply, thank you all!

For anybody on the fence about the benefits of getting a septoplasty if you have trouble breathing, please do not hesitate. My breathing has improved dramatically. Especially, being able to sleep on either side without feeling like by airway is obstructed.

I had a really wonderful experience with Dr. Lin. In 2021 he gave me a full left mastectomy and he was very patient and gentle with me. He could tell I was scared and he answered every question and concern I had. This year 7 weeks ago he gave me an implant in my left breast as well as reducing my right breast for symmetry. I am very satisfied and will definitely return if I have any other plastic surgery needs.

From the front desk staff, Brooke and Phyllis, and the nurses to the surgeon himself, Dr. Lin, I had a great experience. Having had surgery for breast cancer in 2016, I was very nervous about having a mammoplasty (aka breast reduction). From my very first phone call to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lin, I felt empowered to make the right decision for whatever felt right for me. I did not feel any pressure to move forward with surgery so I took my time thinking about it. I came back a year later, after experiencing more shoulder and back pain and decided to go through with the surgery. I really appreciated the space to decide for myself if I wanted to go through with the surgery. I am glad I chose to have my surgery with this medical team. On the day of my surgery I also felt like I had made the right decision because of the staff working with Dr. Lin. As I continue to heal, I am very pleased with my outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Lin's thoughtfulness and expertise. He has integrity and will let you now the pros and cons of a particular surgery. Thanks Dr. Lin!
