Testimonials

I had the opportunity met Dr. Samuel Lin in an online meetings to discuss different topics in plastic surgery and reconstruction. It was an enriching experience in a welcome environment that for sure add an updated knowledge. Thank you!!!

Since I was a young girl, I have always been self conscious of my nose. I hated taking pictures, I hated smiling because I felt like my nose took over my face. I would get bullied and was always told “ i'd be more attractive with a smaller nose” I would go on these trips and would have an amazing time only to come home and look at photos of me later to ciriticisze and cry over. Finally at 30, I decided enough is enough and to get Rhinoplasty. It has been a just about 3 months since my surgery with Dr. Samuel Lin and I am over the moon with the results. Not only am I super confident but I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I can’t thank him enough for his professionalism and bedside manner :).

I recently had a septoplasty performed by Dr. Lin and I enthusiastically recommend him as a surgeon! I consulted with a few other ENTs before scheduling my operation, but none were as informative and experienced as Dr. Lin. I want to mention an important part of my experience: Dr. Lin is a patient and attentive listener. This trait is crucial in a surgeon and it gave me confidence to proceed with my septoplasty. The recovery period can extend six months or longer, but already at two months after my surgery I’m very happy with the results (improved breathing). If you’re considering a septoplasty and still haven’t chosen a surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Lin! FOLLOW-UP (2023): Just want to add an update to my experience. Dr. Lin recently performed a turbinate reduction to my right nostril (a smaller procedure than a septoplasty) in order to further improve my nasal breathing. Once again, I was immensely satisfied with the results! If you're experiencing impaired breathing and are considering a septoplasty or turbinate reduction, I highly recommend Dr. Lin -- his expertise, attentiveness, and friendly manner are a great combination. I was lucky to find him!

I joined the tele health rotation with Dr. Lin to get a broader sense of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the U.S. Dr. Lin has been very patient and involved throughout, even after a long day at work which in most cases was every other day. This gave me an idea of the patient and procedures performed on a daily basis at the BI and the videos and discussions further added to my interest in the program and branch.

Dr. Lin was fantastic! I was very nervous to get have a breast reduction done, but he walked me through the entire process and made me feel very comfortable with the whole thing. The procedure was quick, and I experienced little pain after the first day. It was more of a discomfort that faded a little each day. My incisions healed quickly and didn’t give me any trouble. Since my surgery, the back and neck pain I’ve struggled with for a long time has lessened substantially. I’m so glad that I went through with this surgery and used such an amazing doctor!

After meeting with several "top" plastic surgeons in the Boston area, my daughter and I unanimously selected Dr. Lin to perform her procedure. He could not have been better!!! He has a world-class background and a conservative thought process. In addition, he was incredibly supportive and comforting throughout. Needless to state, her outcome was as he planned and we are thrilled. Before selecting a "flashy" MD, I would HIGHLY consider meeting with Dr. Lin. Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

The concept of attending a rotation at Harvard was initially intimidating. Dr. Lin's personal and very friendly demeanor quickly dispelled any anxiety I had. My clinical telehelth rotation with Dr. Lin was a pleasure. The online learning modules were very thoroughly designed and covered every aspect of plastic surgery over the month duration. Each day we read articles and covered different topics. Then in the evenings we met by video conference and discussed that day's readings. Our discussions were extremely insightful and rewarding. Sessions included visual/video representations of the procedures we studied that day. Everything was based around our interest, whichever topic we wanted to look more deeply into, Dr. Lin had plenty of material to help us understand. After completing my month long rotation, I have a better understanding of the entire field of plastic surgery. The course further deepened my interest in the field.

Dr. Lin was my life saver. The surgery he performed on my face was extremely delicate, challenging and successful. Just so the breadth of his work on me is understood, I’m including the following details to help understand his incredible expertise. I had a very unfortunate accident where I fractured my eye socket, cheek bone, maxillary sinus wall and dislocated of my lower jaw bone all on the left side of my face. My face was sunken in and my eye socket distorted. I really didn’t understand just how severe the damage was until I saw the Cat Scan. Dr. Lin completely reconstructed and sculptured the broken side of my face using titanium. He is an artist. He was able to do this reconstruction on me avoiding cutting the ‘outside’ of my face. There is no visible hint of a cut or surgery. Unless I tell people about my facial reconstruction they have no idea. I look like myself again! In addition Dr Lin is the nicest, kindest doctor. I would put my life in his hands again and again. Thank you Dr Lin.

Thank you so much for your fabulous treatment!

Hi Dr. Lin! I can’t thank you enough for helping to piece my arm and life back together. Hope you and your family have a great holiday season.
