Dr. Lin is a Retina specialist who is giving me different shots in both eyes to slow the progress of both Wet and Dry Macular decision. He is kind and gentle with all of his aging patients like me and assures us of painless and careful shots. He explains things very clearly and shows how our conditions are developing. He is wonderfully patient explaining schedules and carefully answering all of our questions. I feel blessed to have found him when I moved down from Washington State.
