Charge ridiculously high amount of money with basically nothing. They call to tell you the test result, they still charge you for that!

I am so glad I found Dr. Lin! I was suffering from sinus problem for years and Dr. Lin really saved me. I just had my sinus surgery 2 weeks ago and already I can breathe and smell better. Dr. Lin even called to check on me during the weekend. She's very conscientious and professional. I can't thank Dr. Lin and her team enough. It's been a great experience.

I had a great experience. Allergies and sinuses are much better. Prescriptions are sent directly to the pharmacy so I did not have papers to carry around. No time to read magazines in the office.
