Patient Reviews
May 31, 2021
Cataract surgery was performed quickly, painlessly, perfectly! No stitches required, no complications. I'll be having my other eye done by Dr. Lin as well. Seriously, the next day there wasn't even redness in the eye. If you have Dr. Lin as your surgeon, you may rest assured that you have the best!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
