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.

Best Dr ever
Dr lin is by far the most professional attentive caring dr I've ever seen his team Nicole ( my nurse ) and Rhonda are extremely professional as well. I've been seeing Dr lin and his team for 4 years and I wouldn't change a thing about them. I will forever be grateful he delivered all 3 of my babies and now my 4th on the way. Best obgyn in east texas.

Stay away, horrible doctor and NP under him
Horrible care by Dr. Lin, through his Np that sees you every visit. NP had no empathy for high risk, instead said “I worked my entire pregnancy with hypermesis”. I’ve learned there is a wide spectrum of severity with hypermesis so that was absolutely the wrong thing to say to a sick, dehydrated momma with multiple gastric tears and inpatient stays, who cannot work or function to do normal daily tasks. No direction for handling weekly and bi weekly dehydration other than going to the ER, which was good at times and awful at times. Once we sat in the ER vomiting blood so long there was almost a need for a blood transfusion. The ER doctor was unhappy that we had been there so long. The exposure to other illness in an ER setting for a high risk pregnancy is not recommended. Once we transferred care to specialists in Shreveport they were shocked at the lack of scans, the level of malnourishment of momma and baby. Rumor in the hospital in Longview is Lin has too many patients to “care”

All about the money.
I was had PTLS for years. I was told Dr. Lin was the best. This is not true. He ignored my words, didn’t do any X-rays or exam. He just handed me pamphlets for two different oblation surgeries when I never needed it. He will do what brings in the most money without a care for his patients.

I saw Dr. Lin once for an infection after my dr (Margaret Morton) retired. He was the only dr that could see me. He ran unnecessary STD tests on me for a simple bacterial infection. I am married with 4 children and have only had one sexual partner (my husband) which I informed him of. I am also self-pay. I was charged $500 for a simple office visit because of all these tests. I understand running a test to confirm a bacterial infection, but 6 tests including gonnorhea and chlamydia with no previous history of STD on an almost 40 yr old mother of 4? This is crazy. I will not be returning to Dr. Lin.

Dr. Lin is an excellent doctor for my wife and I. I can't express enough how professional and compassionate him and his staff are. The first time we met him we felt very comfortable and safe. His staff is just as caring as he is. The care we received from him and his office was second to none. I cant express enough how happy they have made me and my wife. Because of them we have a beautiful healthy baby boy. Thanks Dr Lin we are grateful to you and your staff...

Very disappointing. I was sent to the ER several times when my BP jumped up at visits due to my anxiety. I was told that I would deliver early and sent to a specialist. Switched to a doctor in another city and had an 8 pound baby at 41 weeks with no complications.

I’ve been seeing Dr Lin for four years now and I’m a ftm. On average I’ve had to wait atleast 30 minutes to be seen after my ultrasound.. I guess they had forgotten about me and my husband wasn’t able to be there so we could go over our questions being first time parents. The nurse was rude and kept referring to the print out for all the questions I had. Sunday night I was extremely sick with vomiting so I called first thing in the morning. The operator that answered told me to call during business hours which started at 7:30. I then called at 7:30 only to leave a voicemail with the nurse. I thought I’d get a call soon but no I had to call a second time because the vomiting would not stop. I finally went to a clinic to get checked out and as I was waiting to be seen the nurse finally called back. Overall I haven’t been pleased and wish that there was an easier way to contact him. Or atleast an on call dr to speak with instead of having to leave voicemails every single time.

I have seen Dr Lin for 18 years and he is the best Physician I have ever had. I do not have a primary care Dr. as he takes care of everything I need. He has the best personality and really cares about his patients. He is awesome!

I absolutely loved meeting Dr. Lin, I just recently went for my first appointment with him. He is very down to earth, and very through. He took his time and asked lots of questions. I immediately felt comfortable with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone

This man is a disgust & should not be referred to as a doctor. I was denied my 2nd tri checkup over an $863 down depost pre-pay labor and delivery fee I had no idea was due upon arrival at my "meet the doctor" appointment on Feb 15th, 2018 at 3:30pm. The office staff and Manager are the rudest, most evil people you will ever have "care" for you. The Manager actually laughed in my face when I said they are sick for not allowing me to get my test results back from the doctor. I have no doctor now

LOVE Dr. Lin.. Met him yrs ago when I had to have a surgery. I made him my female doctor after that. Forgot how many yrs. but along time... since then he found my High Blood Pressure. He has had many important talks with me on something that I needed to hear. I listened. He helped me save my life or reclaim it. Thanks Dr Lin. Greatest Doc ever! I'm 60. He is a very smart and compassionate Doctor. Explains everything. He Rocks. Everyone is very kind also in the clinic..

Had my first appointment today and was very pleased. Dr Lin was warm and friendly and made me feel very comfortable. He was thorough with his questions and I felt very at ease. There was hardly any wait time, in fact I hadn't even finished my paperwork before he came in.

Dr. Paul Lin is an amazing physician. He and his nurses helped me through my 40-week pregnancy almost 7 years ago! I would definitely recommend him to anyone. I truly enjoy how he practices with a high level of professionalism, gentleness and care while simultaneously educating his patients.
