Dr. Lin is great. I went for some cosmetic spot removals on my face. She is lovely. I've seen her a few times before and she is personable, friendly and kind. She listens. A couple years ago I was in to see her for some spot removal and she recommended I speak with my regular dermatologist about a couple spots she didn't want to remove because they seemed suspicious to her. I had them biopsied by my doctor and ended up having to have MOHS surgery on both sites. Good eye Dr. Lin.

Dr. Lin was great. Makayla was great. Very thorough and informative. Great office and staff. my procedure went off without a hitch. I paid out of pocket it was reasonable. I highly recommend Dr Lin and the office. Parking isn't my favorite in that area but that's the only downside.

Very busy office yet I received individual attention for my first visit. I go back in a month. I hope I am given the same level of patient care in the future.
August 23, 2024Allan I.Verified patient
One of the staffs that did the check in needs training in customer service. She didn’t even look up, unfriendly reception. The provider was good but I wouldn’t go back to her, she seemed to be a bit in a hurry. It was an ok visit. I’d like to find another provider
