Patient Reviews
Jun 17, 2022
I was already blinded by dense cataracts so I needed to act fast. Yet I had a specific outcome that I was hoping for, so I did consult with two other doctors before landing in Dr. Lin's office (stumbling into it actually). Dr. Lin was kind, compassionate, and did a perfect job. My vision outcome is fantastic. Thanks so much, Dr. Lin!

Board Certifications
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. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
