Dr Lin saved me from getting blind. He lasered my retina hole right there and then. He answered all my questions and was very calm even if i was panicking inside.

I had a 7:45 appt, i finished the first two steps, (check in, pictures with dilation of eye) by 8:10 am. I was told to wait in the inner waiting room. After waiting for a half hour, i asked one of the workers if the doctor was in.She stated HE WAS NOT IN YET. he comes in around 8:30. 8:40 he showed up, so i am there and he is not!!! He goes through my pictures and i get my needed eye injection. You get the empty usual apologies from the tech and doctor about the wait. I was his first patient of the day and now you know why when you go there they are behind by at least a half hour.

I know it wasn’t his fault that I waited 3 hours before I was done. He seems very thorough.
