He is a very friendly and understanding doctor. He listened to my concerns and needs and always offered advice and help where he could. He is very personable and easy to talk to and helped me to understand the process from start to end with my entire birth experience. During my birth I was ready to give up on a vaginal birth and just have a cesarian section, but Dr. Lin encouraged me and helped me get through the experience.

Dr. Lin has been an amazing gyobn doctor through out my entire pregnancy. I had previously been to another doctor through a different hospital during an ectopic pregnancy I had and felt like I was looked over during the whole experience. After that I wanted to find a gynecologist that would help me and my husband guide us through trying again. Dr. Lin took great care answering our many questions after the ectopic and was very thorough. After getting pregnant again and throughout the whole pregnancy, I always felt extremely taken care of with Dr Lin and all the wonderful nurses and staff at the Mokena office. Even as far as the fast call service if I had a question for the nurses or scheduling. When it came time to deliver, it was again a wonderful experience during delivery with the staff and nurses at the Palos Hospital and Dr. Lin by our side. He was also very dedicated to give me the support I needed with my post partum depression afterwards as well. I am so truly happy for the overall experience. I will definitely feel confident being supported in the future with my needs. I will always recommend him to friends and family when the situation comes. Thank you so very much for being there through the most important time in mine and my family’s life.

I highly recommend Dr Alexander Lin. Dr Alexander Lin is very attentive, patient and willing to address your concerns and worries. Dr Lin shows that he cares for his patients. He gives me a call after test results are out to 1) tell you the results 2) explain the test results 3) and answer any questions you might have. I am very appreciative of extra efforts he makes because not every doctors do that.

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.
