Emory Healthcare Bariatric Center

I first met Dr. Lin at the hospital seminar. He was very cordial and professional. I thought he was very personable and informative at my visit with him. His office staff is nice and his partner(Dr. Nana) is excellent. When the scheduling center took too long to schedule my tests, I e-mailed Dr. Lin and responded within 15 minutes. He said he would contact the scheduling department the following day, and he did! I am now on the road to my surgery date.

My first impression of Dr. Lin was one of shock..He looks so young! But was very freindly and informative. Took time to answer all my question and make sur I had a good support group in tack.
I dealt with the office staff on a very low limit..mostly of the phone, but they were very cursious and willing and eager to help. The best thing I likd about Dr. Lin is the feeling like at that moment when we talked he had no other patients. Always willing to take the time to make sure all my fears and concerns were addressed. Dr. Lin even took time to call me to make sure all questions were addressed and clear all doctors appointments with him.. HE IS REALY THE BEST!!!
I also worked with Dr. LIn in study so became very comfortable with him both before and after the surgery. I would recommend him over and over again.

My surgeon is Dr. Edward Lin from Emory Crawford-Long. I've thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and his staff. He's very out-going and personable. His over-view of the surgery is very complete and easy to understand. Barbara, Dr. Lin's office manager, is really sweet as well as helpful. He's extremely adament about aftercare, and strongly advises joining a support group. Dr. Lin does have a structured aftercare program, which you are given when you have your first appointment. He informs you of all the risks involved with the surgery and what % each one is. I definitely rate him as a # 1 surgeon and would recommened him to anyone I know. I can't rate his surgical competence yet, as I haven't had my surgery as of this date, 07/24/03, but his bedside manner when he performed my endoscopy was great! He has a great sense of humor, which is very important to me :0)

I've now had my surgery and my opinion of him as an excellent surgeon remains the same. He's very caring and really has a wonderful bedside manner. I would still recommend him (and have done so)to anyone interested in having this surgery.
