Testimonials

I would like to thank Dr. Lin and his team for repairing my nasal septum perforation. After previous septoplasty (elsewhere), I developed a small septal perforation. After having a couple of procedures to repair it but did not work, I was referred to Dr. Lin. He answered all of my questions and explained that it is a difficult problem to fix (he predicts 50% chance of success). His team was able to schedule a surgery without a long waiting period. Thankfully, Dr. Lin and his team did a careful and wonderful job sealing the perforation with AlloDerm. I am now able to breathe normally without any whistling or crusting.

Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Lin and would recommend him to absolutely anyone! Every aspect of the process was smooth and supportive.

I am happy to share my recent surgery performed by Dr. Lin. I am not a new patient of Dr. Lin's . This was my second surgery that involved the removal of a number of growths. The other removal was an office visit. The professionalism that I experienced at the surgery center was outstanding. The pre-op nurses were very kind and understanding. They immediately calmed my anxiety to the surgery. They were even able to have a few laughs, that really put me at ease. The anesthesia nurse and doctor took the time to explain their roles in the procedure. I also met the operating nurse prior to entering the operating room. The recovery nurse was also very good. She assisted in my preparation for discharge. My follow-up appointments with Dr. Lin and his team, as well as his office staff have continued my satisfaction with the entire experience. I would recommend Dr. Lin to my family and friends, as well as other patients.

Dr. Lin and his team were instrumental in my decision to have an elective double-mastectomy due to my high risk of breast cancer. Everyone in his office was extremely informative and sensitive to my physical and emotional needs throughout the entire pre-and postoperative process. In fact, as I was being wheeled into the OR, I specifically remember Dr. Lin's kind and confident demeanor. My surgery went well and my flat-closure healed nicely without any complications. I returned to work in two weeks (even though I was approved for six week's leave) and felt good as new in less than two months. I am forever grateful for Dr. Lin's care and his thorough alignment with the entire surgical team.

A few weeks after my septoplasty procedure with healing well underway, I discovered it was much easier to fall asleep. It no longer mattered what position I was in, I could breath easily and freely on my side or on my back. This was a benefit I had not anticipated!

Incredible experience with Dr. Lin. Highly recommend him; outcomes exceeded my expectations and he and his team were incredible thoughtful throughout the process. Overall, love the results and feel very grateful that Dr. Lin made the journey as straightforward and pleasant as possible!

I struggled with difficulty breathing due to chronic congestion after having my son 5 years ago. Over the counter and prescribed meds, I tried everything! I finally decided to do something about it and saw ENT and I found out I had a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates in both nostrils. I couldn't enjoy most meals or do certain exercises without feeling so out of breath. I decided to get the recommended septoplasty surgery and what a difference! I can breathe so much better now and what I struggled to smell in the past due to swollen nasal passages I can now smell without difficulty. Certain perfumes/colognes I'm more sensitive to now but all in all I'm so happy with my results. Dr. Samuel Lin took good care of me pre and post operatively. I'm excited to see how I feel come the spring/summer season.

Dr Lin performed a septoplasty, turbinate reduction as well as some work on my nasal valves to increase airflow through my nose. After 1 week recovery and a followup appt my breathing capacity has increased 10-fold. I am breathing fully with both nostrils at all times. As a result this has greatly increased my quality of life and sleep as well. The most difficult part of recovery was the first 24hrs after coming out of anesthesia. The following week was uncomfortable as I had stents in my nose until the followup appointment. Immediately following stent removal I noticed a massive increase with the airflow through my nose (immediate relief). I would recommend this surgery to anyone who has discomfort or semi-restricted breathing through their nose. No more blocked noses on cold days or trouble falling asleep/snoring. I would especially recommend Dr Lin and his team as well. He was very professional with me from the start and is clearly a highly skilled surgeon. I read horror stories online about these procedures, but experienced nothing worse than a cracking headache after coming out of anesthesia.

On October 2014, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer. In November the plan was to have a mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. Two weeks later I found out that my cancer had spread into my lymph nodes. This meant that I had Stage 3 Breast Cancer. I meant with Dr. Lin and he was devastated to hear the news. He knew how nervous I was and he was very supported. You would have thought I was a family member. Dr. Lin advised me that the reconstruction surgery would be damaged due to the upcoming radiation. However once the treatment was completed, we would come up with a plan together. I met with Dr. Lin a couple of times for fat graphing. He was very honest to let me know that this may not work due to radiation. He was correct. Lastly, he suggested for a implant. We had success! This was a very long journey, but I would have not wanted another doctor. Dr. Lin is so patient and his work is meticulous! He makes his patients feel important! I highly recommend Dr. Lin! He truly cares about his patients. He never makes you feel rushed during your appointments. He takes time to answer your questions. I will always be grateful, thank you!! Charlene

I am thrilled by the results of my surgery. From start to finish the doctor and staff were professional, empathetic, gentle, and thorough. Prior to my surgery I had neck and back pain, but this surgery changed all of that. Now I can easily move around, have an easier time working out, am way less stiff and sore. Thank you Doctor Lin and staff for greatly improving my quality of life and treating me with dignity and kindness.
