Patient Reviews
Feb 06, 2017
Dr. Lin is the best doctor I have ever seen. I had a hernia surgery with him after my first surgery recurred. I ended up having chronic pain and went to UCSF as a final cry for help. The first thing Dr. Lin said to me wasn't "I'm sorry you're in pain." Dr. Lin was the fourth doctor I had seen but the first to say that to me. He performed my second surgery and was able to remove some things from the first surgery while he repaired the hernias. his team is also the best!
