Verified Patient Reviews
It was a long wait but, what doctor sees you right away...those days are long gone - it's all about stacking appointments now. I got there at 2:55 and was not seen till about 3:45 and still waited in the patient room a good 15 minutes. He did have good magazines to read though. Anyhow he was thorough and answered all my questions. I didn't feel rushed to stop asking questions as other doctors have. So in comparison to other facilities - this one was fine. Not what I wanted or expected but fine.
They have a good office and service, but it just didn't seem very personal. I felt rushed and not important.
Very helpful and understanding as I described my pain. Very nice staff as well. Dr. Lin listened and asked the right questions and i feel better just by going to the visit. He prescribed medication and ointment after going over the options and taking my thoughts into consideration. Thank you very much for seeing me on such short notice.
We needed attention for our son, I used Zocdoc to find provider near hour who had availability, my appointment was confirmed. But did feel rushed by doctor, wait was too long . It met our needs due to son's injured leg but doctor seemed too busy (perhaps appointment time should not appear on Zocdoc)? Overall satisfactory and Facility is clean.
Very friendly, answered my questions and addressed my concerns.
He's friendly, easy to talk to, and will answer all of your questions.
It was a very good visit
He was polite, but indifferent. Nice man
It was okay.
Dr. Lin took his time to answer all my concerns and went into depth on what future treatments might be needed. Felt he paid attention and wasn't rushing to get to the next patient.
very friendly didnt feel like he wanted to rush me
Dr. Lin was great. He answered all my questions and his staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back for all my orthopedic needs.
Very attentive, professional and thorough
Not very pleased. Doctor diagnosed me with Rheumitoid Arthritis without xrays and put me on steroids with no explanation as to what and why I was on them. Also, I had to suggest on my own physical therapy?
It was ok.
Dr. Lin was awesome. Took the time to answer all my questions and truly cared about finding a solution. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
The man definitely knows his business. I have had my share of surgical procedures and was most impressed by his prior medical history in the military. He repaired my torn (shredded) rotator cuff in such a way that made my rehabilitation go much smoother, faster and easier. My physical therapists were blown away at the full range of motion that I was capable of! Thank you Dr Lin...??
My grandmother broke her wrist a couple of years ago, and highly recommended Dr. Lin when I needed surgery to repair a wrist I fractured in an automobile accident last summer. I had never broken or fractured a bone in my life previously (I'm 40 now), so I was nervous and a bit scared of the whole painful process. Dr. Lin, Katelyn and Jon (his staff) are efficient and extremely compassionate - taking extra time to explain the procedure, what to expect post-op during rehabilitation, and made sure I was as comfortable and relaxed as possible throughout the entire process. I cannot thank them enough, and I highly recommend Dr. Lin and his practice!
Dr. Lin is very friendly and professional. He answered all of my questions.
This was my first time meeting the doctor. I felt comfortable with him but felt like he brushed off my pain. He did put together an initial treatment plan so we will see if things improve. The office staff was friendly and quick. I am lukewarm warm about this being my regular ortho but I am giving him a shot. He seemed to have a good bedside manner just not thorough in regards to my issue.
David Lin is an excellent physician who really does care about his patients.
Great visit!!! I saw Dr. Lin as a second opinion and he convinced and saved me from an unnecessary surgery that another orthopedic surgeon was pushing me into. I'm indebted to his expertise of my situation.
Did not show my wide and I my x-ray and downplayed an extremely serious issue with my hip implant. Suggested a shoe lift for my LLD to see if it helped my pain and mobility problem, said it might take a year to improve. After a month of the shoe lift for a 1" LLD, no improvement in mobility or pain. Got a second opinion from a different OS who showed me the x-ray of my prosthesis which had eroded the bone in my pelvis to the point of very little bone structure left. I will require a hip reconstruction......a year with the shoe lift would have just made the problem much worse.
I was not sure that he realized the problem and gave me the option to have a prescription or not.
Very nice, understood what was wrong, and informative
Really appreciate and like the nice, courteous staff. They made my first time visit very easy with check-in paperwork, insurance coverage information, etc. Love Dr. Lin's professionalism, the thorough information at exam and the comfort level he gives.
Thorough and patient answering all my questions. Very good bedside manner.
The wait time was longer because their network was down.
Dr Lin immediately understood my particular medical problem and suggested treatment options. I was thankful that I was not a candidate for knee surgery at this time. The injections are working just as he hoped and I am one satisfied patient. I was in and out of the office in a flash. His medical staff members are courteous when answering my questions and the office staff members are more than helpful when answering my insurance questions.
He was very informative, not pushy. Explained the issues and gave me options.
He is an awesome doctor. Very personable and willing to do what it takes to help with the pain that I was having.
Dr. Lin was great. The paperwork was overboard and the staffs customer service skills were a bit weak.
Great and professional people, will continue to see him for my knee issues!
It was fine. Office was very busy taking Dr Harveys pt while he was on vacation. Dr was friendly.
Dr. Lin is quick & efficient with a smile :)
Was good. But office was very busy long wait time.
He is so wonderful! Great doctor.
always great
I was very satisfied with Dr. Lin and his staff.
I brought in my CD of the MRI and he looked at it before seeing me. Explained to me what he saw and what our game plan would be for my knee injury.
