I saw Dr. Lin today because I was having pain in my hand do to a cyst. He explained things perfectly, he kept answering all my questions. I think he is a great doctor.

The previous review is right on! He has no patience answering questions. He would answer my question by just repeating, ‘For the 3rd/4th/5th time answering your question, is it possible? Anything is possible..!” And then proceeds to give unrelated examples to back up what he’s just said, “Can you die of cancer? Yes..” What kind of answer is that and why wouldn’t I keep asking when I get such an unprofessional answer that has zero degree of medical expertise??! And all the while there sat an intern taking notes..!!.!! I hope this intern doesn’t take after his bedside manners...the worst! I’d give zero star if possible!
