Dr. Lin is in my opinion - a great surgeon, he was
there for me when I was readmitted for blood clots and
mastitis in my right breast. I was one sick lady for
awhile. I personally did not think that I was going
to survive the hospital stays. His aftercare program is
great. Dr. Lin has to keep reminding me that I have a
slower metabolism than others and to be patient with my
weight loss. It will happen.
I am 7 months down now and I have to see him
every two months now.
He has been very helpful and was his staff.
He went over the risks quite frankly and answered
my daughter's questions as well.
I would recommend him to other patients.
He is a very concerned individual and will help you
any way possible to make your transition to the
other side and comfortable as possible.
He won't do LAP RNY because the many
complications that are associated with the
surgery.
I am going in for a revision distal bypass on
Jan 19, 2001. Need all of your prayers and luck.
Did not lose the weight that he wanted in a years
time. I am very concerned.
I HAVE ONLY SEEN DR LIN TWICE. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO ME IN DETAIL. HE ALSO GAVE ME ALOT OF WRITTEN INFORMATION INCLUDING POST OP DIET TO TAKE HOME AND READ BEFORE I MADE MY DECISION TO HAVE THIS SURGERY. ON THE SECOND VISIT HE EXPLAINED THE POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS AND ASKED IF I HAD ANY MORE QUESTIONS.
DR.PAUL LIN. HE IS A VERY SERIOUS SURGEON. WHEN YOU MEET WITH HIM, HE DOES EYE TO EYE CONTACT. HE MAKES SURE YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE PROS AND CONS OF THE SURGERY. HE SAID HE WILL STAY IN THE ROOM UNTIL YOU ARE SATIFIED THAT ALL YOUR QUESITONS ARE ASKED. AND HE DID. THEY TALK VERY HIGHLY OF HIM AT THE HOSPITAL. ON THE FIRST APPOINTMENT HE GAVE ME 8 PAGE INSTRUCTION SHEETS ON WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER THE SURGERY. INCLUDING THE DIET. THE STAFF WAS VERY NICE. SO FAR I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.
First Impression - Pleasant, professional.
Impression did not change over time.
Office staff friendly and helpful.
Negative - Very busy, spends little time with his patients.
Emphasizes the importance of aftercare but has no structured program.
He did address the risks of surgery.
Overall I would rate him very good.
Surgical competence and bedside manner were both very good.
