How likely are you to recommend Dr. Lin?
There are other surgeons who are more sought-after for ftm top surgery than Dr. Lin and that is unfortunate. He is an excellent choice for any type of gender affirming surgery and I cannot recommend him enough. He's a talented surgeon and the most compassionate doctor I've ever met. His emotional intelligence & listening skills are extraordinary. It will be hard to go to any other surgeon now having been under his care. His techniques and knowledge are top-notch & always up-to-date. The Buncke Clinic & Dr Lin have developed novel techniques to limit nerve damage and retain feeling for this surgery, which I am particularly grateful for. I had feeling a few months after my surgery and a year later I have 80% of feeling back. My appointments were never rushed and he answered all my questions with full attention on our conversation. Dr. Lin's schedule is also more open than others in the field so he's a great choice if you don't want to wait a year for your surgery!
