Dr. Lin was wonderful. I got a splinter in my finger that tapped a nerve. I pulled out some, but not all of it. The ER couldn't find anything and my doctor couldn't either. They both said there was nothing there. But I was in so much pain. I couldn't bend my finger or apply pressure without pain. Dr. Lin is the only one who listened to me. He checked with an ultrasound (like the ER) and found a large piece of splinter in my finger. Outpatient surgery he actually pulled out 2 splinters (one that was wishbone shaped and then a... read more
I was referred to Dr. Lin for a trigger finger. The entire procedure took less than five minutes. With anesthesia, there was no discomfort. I’ll admit to an incredible fascination. Can they really do this? How was this ever discovered in the first place? Dr. Lin was able to tell me this procedure has been around for about fifteen years, and claimed to have improved it with his personal tinkering. Older treatments for trigger finger were more invasive and difficult. About eight hours after this surgery, I started typing this ... read more
Dr Lin is “hands down” ?? THE BEST hand surgeon and I’m grateful he fixed my hand. I was very hurt and worried I wouldn’t be able to ever use my thumb again. He helped me. In orthopedics there’s carpenters, trades craft folk and artist/jewelers (so to speak). He’s a jeweler-a true artist. And as a photographer, (yes those ARE his photos on the office walls) you can see the eye of an artist, the dedicated attention to detail and the compositional care. These characteristics transfer to surgery. A person brings the whole of th... read more
I can't say enough about Dr. Lin, his staff and MontereyJoint and Spine. Everyone was kind and very efficient. I had a trigger finger corrected by Dr. Lin on my first visit with an in-office procedure and went directly back to work after the appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Lin to anyone with a hand issue. In fact, I have already recommended four people already! Thank you Dr. Lin!!
Most efficient office I have visited. I had a trigger-finger problem that was operated on the first visit with a procedure that successfully corrected the problem without an incision. I give Dr Lin my highest recommendation.
August, 2018 I fractured my left wrist and flipped some bones around inside my hand. I am very appreciative of the excellent care I received from Dr. Lin. One particular incident was very painful and traumatic for me. That was the removal of the first cast. He was very careful, and respectful of of my pain. I will never forget that.
I have had two different hand surgeries recently by Dr Lin. I am EXTREMELY impressed and satisfied with the entire process and results. I was completely informed prior to the surgery of the process. I was pleased and impressed to know that he would be using an inovative and less invasive technique. Most importantly the results are wonderful. A previous troubling condition on two fingers is now a thing of the past. I am very happy. Thank you Dr. Lin!
Dr. Lin was extremely knowledgeable, kind and did a great job with my surgery. I'd go back to see him again if necessary.
Upon first seeing Dr Linn he gave me a thurough assessment and was extremely personable. The surgery was a breeze and results amazing. I highly recommend him for your joint surgery.
