Dr. Lin is very detail oriented. He also is great at explaining to you what the problem is and how the procedure will go to correct it. I’m really glad I was referred to him. Also, he actually listens so it is easy to communicate what is going on.

Office scheduling is horrible … if you get
An after 1 pm appointment be prepared to wait 1-2 hours before your actual doctor sees you! They may dilate you after 39 minutes but you just sit there fire an hour

Dr. Lin has been treating us for four years. We’re 76 and I don’t trust anyone else with our eyes. We’re spoiled with the consistent excellence of him & his staff. Thank you, Cathy & Mike

I have been a patient of Drs Linn and Chan for about 16 years and I have done most of the visits with Dr.Lin and he is always professional. The only thing that I would like is that the doctors could spend a little bit more time with the patient. It seems nowadays the a stock yard. This is no fault of the doctors it’s just the way population increase .
