Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent care for my father
My father is in his late 80’s and has major heart and lung issues. That combo causes difficulty keeping him “in action”. Dr Lin has been his doctor for many years and has taken great care of my father. He’s monitored his heart for a long time and when required, installed a pacemaker successfully. The procedure went well and my dad is doing fine.

I have been seeing Dr. Lin for several years now. He is very intelligent and observant and has a great sense of humor. You can tell he is very caring of his patients. Answers questions and goes over all pertinent aspects of condition. Would recommend!

I do not recommend Dr. Lin. He acted as if had already decided that nothing was wrong with me and sent me on my way thinking I was imagining things. Soon after that visit, I was admitted to the hospital through the ER. Thankfully a different doctor saw me and proceeded to save my life. It is a good thing I did not listen to him as I would have died.

He was short, curt and very nonchalant, as If I didn't matter. I've just been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and he seemed in a hurry to leave the room. I will be looking for another cardiologist...someone who cares and will take the time to explain things to my family and I!

Dr. Lin was my father's cardiologist toward the end of his life. Unfortunately, Dad's heart disease had progressed to a point where very little could be done to save him. However, Dr. Lin did not give up. He tried everything that he knew to do and try to save Dad's life. I felt that he went above and beyond what others might have tried. Dr. Lin successfully placed 4 stents when the best open heart team in town wouldn't touch Dad.
