Dr Lin and his staff were very easy going and friendly. I reviewed the status of a small tumor in my Cauda Equina found a year ago and Dr Lin showed me on my LS MRIs that the tumor had not grown since last year. My spinal stenosis symptoms had improved over the year and are unlikely to get worse . 5 stars.

Dr.. Lin's office was probably the most efficient I've ever seen. Fernando, thePA, in particular, listened patiently to my issues, explained effectively what my test results showed & answered my questions without my feeling rushed. At the same time, he was very personable. Of course, all these attributes also go to Dr. Lin plus explaining the treatment and the alternative and allowing me to feel comfortable and confident in his diagnosis and proposed treatment.

Dr. Lin is a true professional
Apr 15, 2026
I saw the PA (Samantha) first and she was excellent. She spent time explaining my medical issue and answered questions I had. Dr. Lin, who obviously had been briefed by the PA, came into the examining room to explain my care option(s). He spent a good deal of time with me, leaving me feeling confident in his recommendation and skill level for surgical procedure he described. After my appointment, I posted questions on the patient portal. I received a call the next day from the other PA (Fernando) and he answered all my questions to my satisfaction. I was impressed by the timeliness and thoroughness of the response. I have high praise for DR. Lin and his staff.
