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.

Outstanding surgeon & physician
I adore Dr. Lin. I came to him for a difficult rhinoplasty revision made difficult by the fact that I have very thin skin and produce collagen. Dr. Lin gave me a beautiful result. I was so happy I go to him for facial injections every few months. Both he, his fellows, and staff are absolutely amazing!

Dr. Lin was very courteous, compassionate, and most important of all, did a very successful surgery on me: 1. The surgery time ran only a few minutes less than he had predicted, and he had a great team in the surgery room which was very assuring for me (he was not alone like a private-practice surgeon might). 2. I recovered very well, the surgical wound healed beautifully with just a pale pink line. I think that Vitamin E capsules helped tremendously too (orally, and cut/squeezed/applied directly on the wound.) 3. Like other patients have pointed out, Dr. Lin was honest and clear upfront in expectations about the surgery, so I was prepared for the outcome. When I talked to him, he was objective, understanding, kind, reassuring, and always gave me the time to ask questions (which I had a lot, some repeatedly). I had done a lot of research before choosing Dr. Lin, even though my primary doctor highly recommended him. I am very happy with the choice. I highly recommend Dr. Lin.

After reading many reviews, I felt very confident to have rhinoplasty surgery with Dr. Lin as he has a great reputation in Boston. I found the before/after photos on his website very helpful in my decision making process. I had breathing issues in addition to cosmetic changes that I wanted corrected. My nose was always too big for my face and now it is perfect!

I am writing this letter as a follow up to my daughter, Angela’s, Rhinoplasty and deviated septum surgery in August. Knowing that you have so many patients, I will try to familiarize you with her situation. She had, at this point in time, just completed her freshman year in college and was about to transfer to San Francisco. She came to you primarily to have nose surgery. As a parent, I always believed that my daughter was a beautiful young woman. However, my husband and I supported her in her decision to have her nose “fixed”. She had a minor bump and had been the subject of bullying in high school and middle school because of her nose. As bright and as talented as my daughter was, her confidence in her appearance and in other aspects of her life had been compromised. She had a very successful surgery at your gifted hands. You were able to repair her deviated septum but, more importantly, you were able to shave down the bump and sculpt her nose. What a beautiful job! She just graduate
