May 29, 2024Charlicia J.Verified patient
Staff was very helpful and kind. The doctor, resident and nurse were all very attentive to my issues. I'm glad I kept my appointment. After seeing a PA at an Urgent Care and the having a follow-up with an actual doctor at Kelsey Seybold, Dr. Lin put my fears to rest and correctly diagnosed me (unlike the Urgent Care & Kelsey - who medicated me incorrectly).
He is my ENT for as long as I need one. Thank you!
January 12, 2024Patricia C.Verified patient
The front desk staff is always so friendly and helpful with the checkin process. Every time I've been here, i have been seen early for vitals and usually the doctor as well. Dr Lim is a great listener and immediately knew how to help me with my symptoms.

Finally a Dr that listens and takes time to answer my questions. I have had chronic ear infections, and he helped me come up with a long term solution rather then short term. Highly recommend!

Kindly and professional
April 13, 2022Paulo M.Verified patient
Everyone was friendly, and they got me in and out pretty quickly while addressing my concerns. I will say that you have to pay for parking which I wasn’t aware of, but it was fine. And that because I booked on ZocDoc I wasn’t aware that I needed a hearing test first, but the kind people in the office went ahead and managed to squeeze me in for one and I was able to get everything done in one visit! I hope I don’t have to go back but if I have any more ear concerns I would definitely choose to go back to this office!
