Dr Lin got to the point so as to give me complete confidence in his ability and strategy.

Dr Lin was very clear and informative. He was awesome

Dr. Lin is absolutely the best doctor I have ever worked with...he is amazing. Not only is he very talented but he is also very considerate and caring about you as a patient. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lin and I hope he gets verbally recognized for what an incredible doctor he is and how he cares so much for his patients...physically and mentally. I own a business where we focus on the "customer experience" and help businesses create incredibly awesome experiences for their customers. I say this to let you know I have a very "high bar" when it comes to evaluating the experience I receive. Dr. Lin is at the high end of my evaluation for someone who truly exemplifies an awesome customer experience. I help companies become "customer obsessed" so they can become "REMARK"able...getting others to talk about them all the time. Dr. Lin has reached this utopian status with me...I talk about him and tell others about him all the time. While I can't say that about all my experiences with UWMC, I can say it emphatically about Dr. Lin. I hope you are able to share this with him so he sees that his focus on his patients does not go unrecognized and that the is in the top echelon of service providers. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me at: [...]. Thank you for the opportunity to brag on Dr. Lin!!

I waited to complete this survey to determine the amount of time that it would take for getting the results from my biopsy. (I was told that it would take "about a week.") I got a call from Dr Lin at exactly 1 week - very beneficial that expectations for this were met.
