Dr. Lin seemed very knowledgeable, explained things to me, very quickly though. I know there was many patients that day but you can tell during my visit that he was rushing through everything. That will be my con- spoke very fast - didn’t give me a chance to think of questions I might have. Don’t think I will return because of this. Other than that, office and staff were friendly.

Excellent Doctor, Outstanding Staff, Office is efficiently run, very well staffed and quite clean. They handled quite a few patients in the time that I was in the office, so there was a bit of wait time and more paperwork than anyone likes (online and in advance actual paper), but everyone was treated with patience, efficiency, kindness and respect.
