Dr. Ning Lin is an excellent doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone with neurosurgical issues. He is easy to talk to, professional with excellent manner. He reviewed my MRI with contrast and discussed with me my options. This office is very busy and my wait time is 40 minutes and I was out/done in less than an hour. The office itself is located in the middle of Flushing which is busy. There is parking garage across the office building named metropolis otherwise you cannot find parking on the streets. Thank you for Dr. Lin and to the entire staff of this office.
