Kenneth C. Lin, MD

First visit was went well the office personnel were all friendly, professional, and the appointment was thorough from registration, x-rays and Doctor's exam. I feel confident with the plan we have moving forward.

Awesome Dr., would highly reccommend Dr. Lin.

Most informative and logical doctor I have ever met. He also put me at ease being so honest and and sincere with his options pertaining to my injury.

He's the best! Always takes the time to insure that you have all the information to fully understand what is causing the problem and what the options for treatment are.

Professional and kind. Follows up diligently.

Dr. Lin is without a doubt one of the best Doctors I have ever had. I went to him following a serious on-the-job injury to my shoulder, initially to get a second opinion about the surgery I eventually had being the only surgical option open to me. He listened to and addressed concerns and prescribed physical therapy first. When PT failed to help I returned to Dr. Lin to discuss moving forward with surgery. He patiently addressed each concern I had during the process. He and his staff helped me navigate the path to approval through the Washington State L&I system and I received excellent medical care throughout the entire processs. He explained what I could and should expect at every step of my surgery and recovery, and what to expect in my life following this injury. Dr. Lin has earned my highest respect.

All my questions answered. Felt comfortable.

He talks in a way I can understand

Professional and helpful

This doctor is fantastic! I could not have found a better surgeon.

Really liked him. Had a steroid shot and didn’t feel anything.

Thanks for a great visit! Felt comfortable and enjoyed talking to you.

He explained things clearly, was very thorough and I was treated with respect.

Gave very informative information about my left tear of my rotator cuff.

Very kind and thorough. Explained my Condition well and answered all my questions. Excellent surgeon!

Highly recommend Dr. Lin. Friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Thanks to Dr. Lin and his amazing staff, my shoulder has a 2nd a chance at life.

Very professional & explains procedures so they can be understood. Very knowledgable - thorough & confident.

No bedside manner. Didn’t really ask a history for my complaint

I was given a shot for my shoulder pain and referred to PT.

friendly and informative, left feeling I had all the information I needed.

Dr Lin is very professional and to the point

Fantastic! Changed my life.

I was disappointed with my appointment today and my inability to express myself, or advocate for more testing of my shoulder. I mentioned, twice, that my PT had faxed a report to their office about my 6 weeks of treatment, documenting my treatment and outcomes. I asked Dr. Lin's assistant to look for it. I don't think it was read. I felt a bit of ageism in Dr. Lin's treatment of me. An assumption of arthritis being the problem with my shoulder, giving me the option of surgery and saying an MRI is only generally done before surgery. I'd like to avoid surgery and would like to see what damage an MRI shows to see if alternate treatments are possible. Up until my hard fall 2 months ago, I've never had a problem with my shoulder.I took the cortisone shot and have my fingers crossed.

Great communicator. Explained issues is easy terms to understand. Follow by treatment course.

He knows his job , well . I would advise anyone with shoulder problems to see Kenneth Lin .

I felt the visit was rushed, and that I was not fully being heard.

Great communicator, really listens and answers questions thoroughly. I really appreciate Dr. Lin.

Dr. Lin is clearly a very intelligent provider. However, face to face time with him is always uncomfortably rushed. I feel like I’m on an orthopedic injury patient assembly line. The last 1/3 of all our very short appointments his hand is on the door knob waiting to leave the room. He has poor “bedside” manner. The emphasis of each appointment seems to be 1) him educating you about your injury and the associated processes (which is appropriate) 2) him actively and obviously trying to leave the room.

Very professional and actually listens to his patient , and shows that he cares .

Dr Lin was good at explaining what is most likely going on in my shoulder and a plan of treatment. I’ll know in a week or so how the plan works.

Very. Helpful. Solid answers to my array of question

Dr Lin gave a clear and thorough explanation of shoulder replacement and answered all my questions.

Personable, good listener, excellent shoulder surgeon. Focused with action plans to help you meet your goals.

I came to Dr Lin for a 2nd opinion regarding a shoulder replacement I was told was only option. Though Dr Lin agreed he took the time to explain exactly what the issue was as well as risks. I left with very clear understanding of my situation.

he is a great dr he has done both my shoulder full replacements and i am finally pain free !!

Very informative and pleasant

Dr. Lin was very nice and helpful explaining my concerns about shoulder reverse replacement and rotor pain .

Dr Lin is amazing! He explains everything thoroughly and answers any questions I have.

Very professional, explained every thing is language that I could understand.l would recommend him to any of my friends and family. I am totally 👍 happy with my experience.

Excellent surgeon. Answers all questions and explains everything so you can understand it.

HE IS THE BEST!!!

Thank you very much for the time to see me and explain everything. Also the lady's were very nice too Thank u everyone

Professional and informative.

I think Dr Lin was thorogh and professional in his diagnosis. He is trying other options instead of surgery to correct my shoulder

Very good explaination of my issues. I am confident he will do a good job.

Awesome follow up to a very successful surgery! Very professional and caring staff 😁

Very professional, Answer all my questions in a way that I understood. Very helpful.

Dr. Lin was easy to talk to and answered all my questions. He gave me a clear game plan for my clavicle break that was easy to understand and follow.

Professional as well as personable!

Caring, concise, thorough. He has been my surgeon twice now and my wife’s twice also. He seems super knowledgeable and takes time to go through procedures before and after.

Good explanation of reverse shoulder surgery and description of my current shoulder problem. Only questions he didn't answer were ones I forgot to ask.

Always explains everything.

Dr. Lin is great to work with.

Excellent bedside manner and straight to the point.

Dr. Lin answered my questions and addressed all my concerns.

Competent communicative and thorough

4-1/2 starts! It took him a while to warm up to me. But that is only as importantt as his skill as a surgeon (which is stellar)! The shoulder repair was top-notch as revealed by the functionality of the joint he repaired. It was a good choice to ask him to do the repair. He is closely following my recovery with care.

Very friendly and professional.

I don’t like surveys!!

Patient centered caring doctor. He did a great job on my shoulder.

Explained my injury in great detail. Very reassuring

Dr. Lin is wonderful - He listens ( which really matters) and makes sure that every issue is being addressed. I truly appreciate the time & care he has given me.

Excellent guy

Dr. Lin is a very qualified doctor. He has wonderful patient-doctor communication skills. He has been my doctor for many years and several surgeries. I love that guy!

Very professional, explained diagnosis very well. Loved him

Straight forward,

My left shoulder repair was truly- one of the most professional, compassionate health-related experiences to date. I've been a nurse for 30 years- the entire crew were amazing, professional, showed true empathy & demonstrated the highest level of care for me.

Very competent and caring surgeon who takes the time to explain all procedures in detail to me.

Very informative.

This Dr is very professional, friendly, and listens to his patients and their needs . Would recommend him 100 % to everyone .

Dr. Lin is a very compassionate Dr. He listens and does not talk Iover me with medical information.

Very thorough and described everything and answered all my questions .

dr Lin is the first doctor in 4 years that I believed actually cared about repairing my l&i injury

Very thorough and carefully explains everything

Kind and helpful. However I would be have liked some practical tips for post surgery

The best!

Dr. Lin and his team have a very seamless process. Dr. Lin is very knowledgeable and shares in a way that you can really understand what you’re dealing with and what’s needed to resolve the situation. It’s been a pleasure working with him and his team

Very direct educational passionate about his work
