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.

Dr Lin's Medical pratice provides substandarad patient care, the doctor's office is unprofessional. Never able to follow up on my records.

Every time my family visited Dr. Lin, he responded to our need and problem in an effective, helpful and friendly way. We're lucky to have him as our family doctor, who is not only a doctor but also a friend and health mentor.

My whole families did immigration medical exam with Dr. Lin, every time the experience was good until today, I called to make an appointment for my dad's immigration medical exam, the "lady" who picked up the call sounds like really tired and can't catch her breath and RUDE!!! Because Dr lin will always mark the varicella vaccine for us because he knows that all Chinese had it. And I asked the "lady" if Dr. Lin will take care of varicella this time, she said "Of course not, we are not gonna help you save money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MY dad does have his own insurance and we don't care about take an additional blood test to check the varicella antibody. but what is that mean????? of course you are won't help people save money because all you know is money!!! From her attitude, I even doubt if the office has proper infection control. PLEASE do yourself a favor, and help other places for your money and your health...

My wife had an urgent case, so we directly went to Dr. Lin's clinic. The female staff (Mandarin speaking) knew the case and helped arrange a body test for her even she said the schedule is occupied in that afternoon. (So appreciate!) Dr. Lin's diagnosis is very precise based on the test data and explained very clearly. After three days as he said, my wife recovered. As we are new in the Bay area and no any clinic experience here, I and my wife really appreciate their kind treatment.
