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 did a muscle biopsy on my leg. No infection, no problems. We got the info needed to make positive diagnosis.

Dr.Lin operated on me 10 years ago.. He went above and beyond to see that I survived the surgery, having only a 5% chance of survival. The surgery lasted 12 hrs instead of 6 .I'm very sure that some doctors would not have kept going with this tedious process, but he did. That is why he'll always be my angel - and anyone that is fortunate to have him as their doctor is extremely lucky. He is the absolute best doctor I've ever met-with no huge ego, only a huge heart.
