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.
