The doctor cancelled on me twice for an initial appointment. I was finally able to find one after 2 months of follow-up. I did end up being 8 mins late to my appointment (had a tough time finding his office). The lobby ambassador told me that I had eaten away the "Entire time" and turned around to show me 3 patients waiting for their fitment. Given how disorganized their staff is, and given they had 3 patients waiting for 8 mins of delay, I would really worry about finding doctors time. Sorry Candid!

Dr. Lin is extremely proficient. Friendly, caring and skillful. His staff is very friendly as well and always follows through. I have other medical considerations and Dr. Lin has been patient and helpful. Located on Maude and Matilda. Easy parking.

My wife visited Dr.Lin because he specializes in dental bridges, implants, etc., and because he is a "prosthodontist" - more highly trained than a regular dentist. His approach is very professional yet very "down-to-earth" about one's treatment options. He is very open about discussing solutions and is extremely knowledgeable about his area. His training, experience and especially his attitude make him the person to see if you have serious issues regarding missing teeth or other special dental issues.

Dr. Lin is thorough, patient, knowledgeable, and an overall excellent dentist. He truly looks holistically when assessing my dental needs. He also considered my neck and back health when making full assessments - I have never had a dentist be so thorough and was pleasantly surprised at how much effort and care he puts into helping his patients. He is also always patient and willing to explain and answer any questions I asked. And the office space itself is relaxing in ambiance and looks clean and well designed without feeling overly clinical. Overall recommended dentist for all your dental care needs!

Dr. Lin is super kind and very thorough. He was so knowledgeable about my TMJ situation, and he takes the time to explain each step of the process. The office is extremely clean, and he has all of the newest equipment for healing anything related to jaw joints and dental issues. He even goes above and beyond dental work to help you fix any problems that are related to your oral health like headaches, sleeping issues and breathing problems. He really knows his stuff!!

I took my senior father to Dr. Lin for a series of appointments to get work done and Dr. Lin was so supportive and patient during each visit. He provided my father with quality care and always took time to answer questions and provide thorough explanations so that my father was comfortable and well informed. I am so pleased and thankful my father was referred to Dr. Lin and my father could not be happier. Special thanks to Madi for her awesome organization, communication and scheduling.

I have been going through the full mouth restoration treatment with Dr. Lin and have been working with him on and off for almost an year now. In one word, he is "fantastic." Dr. Lin not only heard my concerns/requirements patiently but also offered alternative treatment plans which fits my needs. I had so many questions along the way in almost each visit and he patiently answered them all. I am still with temporaries but feeling much better both with the new bite and the smile. I am one of those perfectionist with a nag to being ~100%. Thank you Dr. Lin for your patience while working with me.. :) I would highly recommend Dr. Lin for any prosthodontics work and am very happy to write this recommendation. Thanks!
