I absolutely love this group. They are very patient oriented and work so hard to support you through this process. I had some minor problems at first because of other medical issues and the Physician Assistant actually gave me her cell phone number in case I ran into trouble over the weekend. I thought with my past surgeries and medical problems that I would have to have open surgery. Dr. Lin was able to do it lap and I was very please to find this when I woke up from surgery. The hospital staff was wonderful and very caring and knowledgeable about the surgery and post op needs.
They will fight with the insurance company and advocate for your rights. I would definitely recommend them to others thinking about having this done.

Dr. Lin is very respectful of the body, and therefore, his patients do very well as the body has been treated so gently during surgery. He is part of a fantastic team of nurse practitioner and nutritionist who are realistic and very supportive. He was very honest upfront about what my realistic expectations would be and making sure I knew going in what my best result would be post op. He is affiliated with George Washington Hospital, and comes with the residents and medical students of the program, who were all fantastic, and great to have as a resource during the day when the surgeon wasn't available. I received supurb care from all!

I met Dr. Lin, back in the fall of 2006. Then you had to sit in this room and watch a video about the surgery before you met him. I was nice then, very knowledgeable. He was very blunt also, making it very clear that realistically, I wouldn't be able to lose 100 lbs and keep it off; which I agreed. Due to a pregnancy I didn't go through with the procedure at this time. Fast forward to now. rnrnI had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lin on 10/5/09, very personable as ususal and made me feel even more comfortable. He assured me that I would do fine in surgery, and that hopefully my paperwork process would be expedited. rnrnAll in all, I really like him, and would recommend him to other people. I learned in the informational session prior to seeing him, that he handles most of the \"high risk\" cases. I'm not high risk, but I'm glad he handles that in case something comes up.

I feel comfortable with him and he told me all the risks and answered all my questions.
I am happy to have such a wonderful surgeon with a great team.

I have only seen Dr. Lin three times. Once for my consultation and then my surgery and the pos-op visit in the hospital. I am pleased with my surgery results. I had minimal pain following surgery. Dr. Lin did a wonderful job. rnrnI love Dr. Lin's office staff they are very friendly and helpful. Denise Johnson is my nurse practioner and I see her fo all of my follow up visits. She listens to all of my concerns and is very assuring of my progress.

Dr. Lin did a great job on my surgery. He answered all my questions and my families questions. He appeared to very concerned about my comfort level before and after surgery. He wanted for me to be completely comfortable to go home when I was ready. He did not push me to go like other doctor's because of hospital costs. I felt that I was in good hands from beginning to end.rn
