Dr. Lin and her entire team have been wonderful to me over the last few months. You would be hard pressed for find and doctor and staff more caring for their patients. On the phone or in person I always felt like I was treated like a person and not just a patient.

All of the other doctors said to come back and see me if your condition is not better in six weeks. Dr. Lin has a plan to resolve the problem with an MRI and possibly surgery.
