Reviews
First time appt. The staff is very friendly, personable but more important.. EXTREMELY professional. Wait time for check-in, Dr. visit and scheduling was very efficient!!
No problems. Everything just right.
Dr Derek Lin is a great doctor, great listener, very knowledgeable, staff was friendly
I wanted to share my experience to all the people who suffer from extreme fear, anxiety, nervous crisis and even panic attacks. My name’s Florencia, I come from Argentina. I’ve been dealing for years with stomach issues which increased over the last time. Several GI’s made me believe it was “emotional”, “she’s too sensitive”, “it’s all in her head”.. but the pain and the daily issues weren’t going away. Then I had the fortune to meet Dr Derek Lin. Since the beginning, he was different from every doctor I’ve ever met. He listened, he put on my shoes, he did proper research and he was the first one who could saw in me more than just a human overwhelmed with emotions. Eventually, he recommended and endoscopy and a colonoscopy together (which it was my BIGGEST fear ever). Today, I had both procedures dones and I hope my experience can help others that are going through the same.. It doesn’t hurt, nothing is going to happen, you’re are going to be fine and safe. Don’t read anything on the internet, don’t consult with friends or others their experiences.. just trust your doctor. In behalf on me and my husband, we want to express how grateful we are with Dr. Lin, he’s not only a wonderful professional but also a wonderful human being. Truly a doctor with ethics, knowledge and a huge heart. We would also like to thank Joe (anesthetist), Pam (nurse), Melody and all the wonderful staff who calmed me down, contained me and did a amazing job too. Florencia Velasco
Need to begin with I am a 1st timer on the Colonoscopy. I can say that working with Dr.Lin and his team was fantastic. Extremely professional and high efficient. Every question I had was answered to complete satisfaction.
