Lin Thomas T H MD

dr. Lin is very nice & front desk ladies are also very friendly ! I have a great experience in Dr. Lin’s office

Dr. Lin helped delivery all 3 of my children.
He is not only very knowledgable, he is also very patient and always explains everything in details. He is a great and trust worthy OB/​GYN and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Great OB, very experienced. My mother in law is a Chinese OB for more than 40 years, she saw Dr. Lin’s work and also said he is great!

Dr. Lin was very details and really care about his patients. I have terrible scar and long painful recovery experience from the 1^st C-​session with other doctor, when his nurse saw the scar (I can tell her feeling from her face), she promised Dr. Lin will fix it. Dr. Lin did fix the scar, which is completely seamless now and the 2^nd C-​session recovered very quick. I am glad I made the right decision switching to Dr. Lin for my 2^nd pregnancy.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Lin since 2009 for my first pregnancy. He takes time with patient, never rushed, always gave straight forward information. When I have son born, he did a great job. Without him, I guess I would have a C-​session, but he saved me. He treated my tore part really well, and my husband said he can not even find a scar. I found similar comments from his another patient, my dear friend. She had her second child born in Dr. Lin’s hands.
With him, I don’t even need to visit him to get my prescription. After he get the lab work result, he called me and asked for a nearby pharmacy’s phone number. I called him few times at nights (being the first time mom is not easy), he called back really quickly, and gave really good feedback and solutions.
I’m now 30 miles away from him, but still go to him for preparing for my second child. I wish to have my second labor in his hands.

When it comes to visiting doctors, I always let my emotions get the best of me. Some doctors understand this and some don’t. Clearly, Dr. Thomas Lin falls into the first category.
I recently transferred all my medical records to Dr. Lin because I was VERY UNHAPPY with my original OB/​GYN in the Good Samaritan SJ area (Dr. E.W. — initials). Result? I am now VERY VERY HAPPY with Dr. Lin and plan to stay with him as my primary OB/​GYN for a very long time. Let me tell you why I feel Dr. Lin is an excellent doctor in both the surgical and patient-​doctor relationship aspects of the OB/​GYN medical specialty field. Firstly, Dr. Lin is super knowledgeable and is able to answer ALL my questions regarding my condition. He gave me an abundance of information and I walked out of his office that first day with a sense of relief in knowing that what I had was totally «fixable» and not as severe as what Dr. E.W. had «guessed». There was no shrugging of the shoulders (like Dr. E.W. constantly gave) whenever I asked questions from a layperson’s point-​of-​view, and the way Dr. Lin carefully explains everything guided me in knowing which road to take in fixing my problem and what options to proactively carry out. My first visit within Dr. Lin was in the early part of February. It’s now early-​April and I am 100% «cured» of my problem. His office is literally 2 blocks from O’Connor Hospital (also an excellent medical establishment) and the out-​patient surgery there took about an hour (with a 2-​hour recovery time in the hospital). I was home at noontime and by 5PM that SAME DAY, Dr. Lin removed all my dressing pads. Twenty-​four hours later, I’m up and walking about, on antibiotics and COULDN’T BE HAPPIER nor HEALTHIER. I am thoroughly convinced that if I had «stuck» with Dr. E.W. and allowed her to do my surgery, I’d probably have a mounted list of complications. But that’s all another story and instead of dwelling on her and her inabilities and always failing me as a doctor, I think it’s best I write about the excellent medical care given to me by Dr. Lin. I highly recommend him, especially when it comes to the most critical area of a woman’s health stemming way-​way beyond basic OB/​GYN medical guidance.

Most of women have successful birth and some doctors may not spend must time in each pregnancy check. I am carrying twins. Every time Dr Lin had to confirm twins were in equal size and had explained to me what may happened in all circumstances. He also provided me many information about potential risks, symptons and nutrition advices. He has referred me to a high risk ob center for better ultra sound screenings. The waiting room usually has less than 3 patients. If someone has to wait longer than an hour that is because Dr Lin spend longer time checking some patient. My previous ob gyn in LA was not so patient and his waiting room always had more than 7 patients.
