Patient Reviews
Oct 22, 2024
First time patient here. Reception area was spacious and comfortable. Receptionist was courteous and helpful. Dr. Lin’s assistant, Maggie (or Maggy) was very kind. Dr. Lin was thorough and answered every question I had to my satisfaction. He was very pleasant and I did not feel rushed through my visit.
