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.

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.

Sam, the PA, was quite thorough, friendly, and unhurried. I was quite impressed with her, and she really made sure that I understood my test results.

Ivan went above and beyond showing concern for the urgency of getting me scheduled for an appointment. He recognized that I needed an asap appointment and coordinated with the doctor to schedule an appointment right away. He likely prevented me from ending up in the emergency room with potential permanent disability.
