Christopher B Lin, MD

My children have been patients of Dr. Lin for 10 years. He is an awesome doctor! He listens to me and the needs of our family. He even sees my niece, nephew and many friend’s children I cannot recommend him enough! Thanks Dr. Lin!!!

I have been bringing my three kids to Dr. Lin for 8 years and I trust him 100% with my kids lives. He is an outstanding Doctor and sincerely cares for each patient. He takes as much time as needed, and you never feel rushed. My kids absolutely love him too! He puts them at ease and makes them laugh every time they see him. He is an absolute natural with kids of all ages. He is just a wonderful person and takes fantastic care of my children. I recommend every one I can to him, he goes above and beyond each time. I honestly have never met a better more caring Doctor and my kids are blessed to have him.

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE! I brought my son here (who is asthmatic) when he was having an acute attack the other day. He had already been seen by Dr. Lin (I use the term doctor loosely), earlier this year for the same symptoms. After the initial visit with him we switched to his colleague Dr. Young, who we prefer over Dr. Lin. Unfortunately for us, Dr. Young was not in that day and so we were forced to see Dr. Lin, who greeted us very aggressively, rudely and treated us as if we were neglecting our child. I like to add that I have been a nurse for the last 10 years and when I was speaking to this doctor, he accused me of not being a nurse and basically implied I neglected my child by not taking him straight to the ER when I have a stethoscope at home as well as a pulse oximeter (which measures oxygen levels in our system) and he wasn’t at a crucial level to where he needed to go to the ER (otherwise I would have taken him straight there). This doctor has Horrible bedside manner! He is not only in the Wrong profession he should NOT be working with children! He is mean, scary to kids and they’re scared enough at the doctors office as it is. I usually never leave in depth detailed Unilocal reviews, if at all for that matter, but I needed to let everyone know to not believe the nice reviews on this page, I know a few other parents who switched their Pediatrician after the first few visits with this doctor.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS RUDE, INCONSIDERATE, NON-​EMPATHETIC, AGGRESSIVE, ANGRY DOCTOR! I would give zero stars if I could but this app forces u to give one star at least.

Fantastic care for my two daughters. Dr Lin takes the time to explain the various options in regards to treatment. Will continue to use this practice for sure.

We absolutely LOVE Dr Lin and Dr Young! They are both amazing, patient, and knowledgable. They always fit us in on the same day if we have a sick or injured little one. And we love that there is no after hours calling service, you actually get to speak with the doctor themselves! The office staff is also amazing and that is a find in itself!

To be clear I have not seen the doctors here but when I called to inquire about finding a pediatrician for my soon to be born twin boys I was told that they are so busy that they could not schedule a time for us to meet the doctor. Also, I was told that well baby check ups are being scheduled 2 – 3 months away. It makes me question their assurance that they will see the children same day when sick (or even shortly thereafter) given how busy they seem to be. Just FYI to those who are reading reviews and relying on their websites assurances which apparently are sorely out of date

I think we would all agree that finding a good Dr is a challenge for anyone. Well I’m proud to say I’ve finally have not only found a good Dr but a fantastic one at that! Dr Lin is extremely knowledgeable, professional and best of all stresses the importance of your healthcare above anything else. he gets to the root of your problems directly without all the extra «visits» dinging your insurance and co-​pays. Prescriptions are completed fast and simple too. What a find!

We can’t possibly say how much we love Dr. Chris Lin and his staff! Their high level of experience and skill is even more appreciated because of being coupled with extraordinary care and compassion. My kids don’t feel like anonymous patients going to see a random ‘Doctor’…they actually look forward to seeing ‘Chris’ their friend.
The office staff is equally great. Kelly, the receptionist is truly the kindest, and most accommodating person ever! She works hard to get you an appt as soon as possible and at times with very little notice. If you call with a question or concern, she ensures that you receive the information you need in the most timely manner. Liz, the nurse is so sweet and is a magician when it comes to delivering the dreaded ‘shots’. Her calm and caring demeanor helps lessen the anxiety of everyone involved and even better, she’s done in a flash!
I could go on and on but I will sum up by saying… If you are looking for the best possible care for child, you have definitely found it here!

We decided to switch over to this office because we moved closer to it. But before I switched I called the office knowing we had some potential procedures coming up where we would need to get in quickly for pre-​ops. They said sure we take new patience and we will get you in within a couple days. So I made the switch with my insurance.
Then a week or so later I called and got Kelly to set up a pre-​op, we had a procedure that was urgently scheduled so we needed a simple pre-​op appointment within 9 days. But Kelly said sorry we should have called sooner to make this appt. I explained that we actually didn’t have dates yet but I did call her office to make sure we can get in quickly for a pre-​op when needed before we changed to them as the provider and they said yes they can squeeze us in… But she ignored what I said and she just repeated NO we can’t do that. Then in a nasty tone just tried to put me down for not scheduling it weeks out. Not at all caring or thinking about what is best for the children. I started to say maybe you can ask the Doctor to see if the Doctor can make an exception. Then BAM!!! SHE HUNG UP ON ME!!!
Dr. Lin and Young are so nice and professional. It’s sad that people like this ruin the names of their practice.

After moving to this area about 4 years ago, I had to change my kids’ pediatricians which I didn’t want at all. The last one was wonderful and caring but because of the distance, it was very inconvenience. I was afraid that I couldn’t find a comparable one. After searching and searching, I decided to take my 3 kids to Dr. Lin and Dr.Young. Since then, I haven’t regreted it. Both of them are so wonderful and caring also. Plus, we can reach them after hours which is a huge plus for us. Sometimes, I called on Sunday or very early in the morning and Dr. Young answered the phone. I was thinking, «Wow, she really cares about what she does!»

We have been seeing Dr. Lin for over eight years and think he has the best bedside manner and patient care available in south Orange County. Kelly seems to always fit us in for those «sudden emergencies» that always pop up. The rest of the staff is always so helpful and understanding and continue that great care that Dr. Lin provides. We really appreciate all that he has done for us and the others of his practice.
Thank you Dr. Lin

We’ve been going to Dr. Lin and Dr. Young for over 6 years and love them! They spend a lot of time with my children, and my kids can’t wait to see them. The office is always prompt in getting my children in and know me by my first name so when I call them they know exactly who I’m talking about without asking who my children are. Both Liz, and Kelly are remarkable ladies who work over and beyond for the office and the children. Love them!

I’m giving 3 stars for my whole experience. Dr. Young is a great pediatrician. For the 2 visits my daughter had with her she was very patient with her. She’s sweet and knowledgable. When you’re looking for a pediatrician for your kids you’re looking for a great practitioner, nice staff and an accommodating office. With that said, I tried scheduling an appointment and Liz the receptionist was extremely rude. She wasn’t happy to say the least. That speaks a lot for an office when the person scheduling your appointment has a major attitude. Thanks but no thanks, there’s plenty of other offices out there with pleasant staff!

i am pleased to write a review and recommend this pediatric office! Let me begin by saying that i am a pediatric nurse practitioner myself, and i know what goes into having a positive and successful medical practice.
1) The first contact with the office is with Kelly. She is incredibly kind, prompt and efficient. I have 3 children all under the age of 5 and every time we enter for whoever’s appointment, we are greeted by name and a genuine smile. The nursing staff are gentle and patient. Caring for children is a joy, but when you’re viewed as the lady with the shots, it’s a whole new ball game. These ladies handle it with professionalism and grace.
2) I appreciate that the office is privately owned and operated. They’re not a part of a huge medical group that is about the bottom dollar. Their hands are not tied by red tape or policies and protocol that can take months to change. Dr. Lin and Dr. Young provide excellent and individualized care. They are both kind and warm. The appointment slots are actually much longer than you would get at any other office as well. The well child visits are 45 minutes long and the sick appointments are 30 minutes long. You don’t feel rushed and have ample time to ask questions. Another thing I really appreciate is that both physicians practice according to the latest AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) guidelines. The guidelines change regularly and they are always up to date.
I cannot say enough about how pleased I am about the care my kids receive here. Dr. Lin is our primary and I really love the guy. Despite the athletic gear he sports, his Ivy League background and impressive residency show through. :) He probably doesn’t want anyone to know, but I think he may be a genius.

What an amazing office! Everyone is super friendly and caring. My children feel like their doctors actually know who they are. Dr. Young is professional, kind, patient and I would recommend this team to anyone. The nurses and office staff are very helpful and compassionate which tells you a lot about the management of the office. I am thankful to have Dr. Lin and Dr. Young as my children’s pediatricians.

Great

As a Father of three, I consider Dr. Lin the best pediatrician in Orange County. Caring, Compassionate, Professional and has a matching staff. If you are looking for a physician who will partner with you… look no further.
On second thought, go somewhere else. If you come, I won’t get an appointment. :)
***** (5 Stars) — Amazing, zero flaws, a must go! (Not given often)
**** (4 Stars) — Memorable, strongly feel you should visit
*** (3 Stars) — Above average, worth a visit
** (2 Stars) — Average, some pro’s and some con’s
* (1 Star) — Opinion is do not go, below average

We found Dr. Lin after looking around and feeling frustrated by the care we received at other offices. I can’t recommend Dr. Lin and Dr. Young enough they’re the best pediatricians I’ve ever encountered. I don’t know how they manage to always squeeze us in when I’m worried, because my daughter is sick or has a fever without other symptoms.
Both of the doctors really listen when I explain something I think is strange and I feel that they take my concerns seriously. They always call back when they say they will and I feel confident that my kids are receiving the best care.

My daughter had an ear infection and they encouraged me to come in right away. No wait and a fantastic doctor. My 4 girls are regular patients here now. Dr. Lin always calls back quickly, even after hours which is really handy when you have an emergency. He is on of the most knowledgeable and kind doctors I have ever met. Dr. Lin referred me to some other specialists, when needed, and the referrals are always excellent, too.
We also really like Dr. Young in this office. She’s pleasant, also very knowledgeable and takes her time with each child. Best of all, there’s still never a wait! Love this place.

The 5 star average is legit.
Dr. Lin and Dr. Young are a throwback to the way pediatricians should care for their patients. They are extremely caring and attentive. They are not seeking to maximize the quantity of patients coming through their office. Instead they are focused on the quality of patient care.
Kelly is the greatest front office manager you’ll find. There are very few who are as accomodating, friendly and sincere as she is.
Nurse Liz is very gentle with patients, especially gifted at giving vaccinations. Believe me, we appreciate that!
There have been several times when Dr. Lin and Young have gone above any expectations I would ask for. The stories are personal, so i cannot share much. I believe that many of their existing patients would say the same. They go beyond the call of duty. If you are looking for a pediatrician in this community, add them to your list to consider.
