5.0 star star star star starDr. Lin is amazing. He made me feel completely comfortable with everything he was doing. He spent a tremendous about of time listening and trying to help me. He did not make me feel rushed even though I know for a fact he was running behind on his patients. He was so knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely continue to see him in the future.

5.0 star star star star starHe listened to my concerns and provided options for me to consider. In addition, he was very gentle during his examination of me. Not trying to appear gender-biased, I usually prefer female physicians in this regard because of the need for gentle examinations. However, Dr. Lin proved to be supportive and understanding.

5.0 star star star star starDr Lin has been my Dr for a number of years and there’s a real reason for it. Dr Lin is thorough, patient, he takes the time to educate you on what’s going on and just goes out of his way to make you comfortable with a plan of action for your care.

5.0 star star star star starI have already recommended Dr. Lin to family and friends. Dr. Lin is compassionate. He explained each step of exam and asked if any pain was being experienced. He encouraged questions. He called promptly with results.

5.0 star star star star starI’ve seen Dr. Lin on and off for 25 years, depending on where I’ve lived and/or he’s lived. When it has not been possible to see him, I’ve gone to other OB/GYNs and no one compares. I’m confident that the care he provides incorporates the best, most current medical thinking and practices, but what sets Dr. Lin apart is his communication style. He is able to make complicated subject matter accessible, and has never once talked down to me. He is truly outstanding and I’m thankful we again live in the same time zone!

5.0 star star star star starEverything I could want in a physician. Dr. Lin took time to listen, didn’t argue with me that my problem wasn’t real, got to the correct diagnosis and treatment, answered all my questions thoughtfully, all while showing respect for me as a patient.
Disclosures
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
