My son was rushed to Dr. Lin for a rare retina problem. Excellent doctor and great staff! Dr. Lin is very patient with all my questions and spend extra time to make sure we have all needed. An amazing doctor who genuinely cares about his patients! I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of ophthalmic care!
