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 sets the standard!
Dr. Lin and the members of his team and his staff are first rate professionals and a credit to GW Hospital and medical profession as a whole.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lin?
Dr. Lin is a straight talking professional. He was able to explain to me in lay man terms, the serious situation that I was in, but with hope in sight. I was transferred from another hospital that couldn't help me any further and I spent the next 17 days under Dr. Lin's care. After surgery , follow up visits and following his directions, a year later I am almost back to normal. I have come across several other individuals similar to me and they haven't progressed as well.
