My experiences with both Dr. Lin and [...] PA have been Good to VG. [...]. Dr. Lin listened carefully to my description of my GI distress symptoms over a period of years. After considering these, he discussed with me his potential diagnosis and recommended two addl tests to accurately determine how to proceed. He will notify me of test results upon completion of his review and determine any results course of action. I would endorse both Dr. Lin and Ms [...] without reservation.

This was my first colonoscopy and it went smooth. Dr Lin and Dr Kim (resident) prepped me as to what they were going to be doing. Best doctors that made my experience great.

Was just a routine colonoscopy - no real treatment recommendations, but everyone was friendly and informative.

My daughter and I travel 1,500 miles to see Dr. Lin. He is compassionate, knowledgeable and is not afraid to think outside the box. We have been to many doctors over the years and other than our general practitioner who is wonderful, we have not had much luck . We have had many experiences with doctors that refuse to listen and want to put you in your place. Most doctors we have seen don't take the abnormal bloodwork seriously because it isn't off the charts high even if many different workups are consistently high or low. Dr Lin actually listens to your thoughts and like the review above states he does include you in the process. He is not threatened by the fact you may have actually done research and I appreciate that as nobody knows my daughter like I do and nobody is going to put hundreds of hours into trying to figure out her symptoms like me. Thank you Dr Lin we appreciate you!!
