5.0 star star star star starHis approach is one of confidence and a broad up-to- date knowledge of the field of electrophysiology. He defers recommendations in an unrelated area to that speciality. He is patient in answering multiple questions.

4.0 star star star star star_borderDr, Lin was very good, very informative to the point of encyclopedic. I imagine he is a very good professor. My impression from our visit is that he spends little time in the clinic, especially at CDH which would be my primary visit location. However, he said his team would be available. I've been there and done that with Northwestern Medicine. The doctors seem to identify with their own celebrity more than being patient centric.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Lin listened to and answered all of my questions regarding my care. In a world where every conversation seems to be brief, I appreciated Dr. Lin taking the time to clearly explain all of the options available for my care.

4.0 star star star star star_borderSince I didn't meet with him for an exceptionally long time it is hard to judge. However, he seems quite knowable, though he lost me a bit with his explanations. I felt almost like I shouldn't be wasting his time.

5.0 star star star star starVery academic presentation. He had read some of my past history prior to entering the exam room, making me feel he had prepared for the appointment. He was recommended by my cardiologist as a good fit for my specific needs. He ordered procedures relevant to my history and my concerns for a treatment plan. He presented several options for treatment and explained the reasons. He answered a number of questions I had prepared. Moving forward I am hopeful his expertise will provid me with an improved quality of life!

5.0 star star star star starReputation of NMH. Past history of my medical care thru NMH physicians. Proximity and convenience of off site appointments. Referral from my cardiologist as a reputable source to pursue treatment options for an existing condition. Confidence I will receive the most up-to-date competent assessment in a speciality area. Further, that an individualized treatment plan will be based on the medical evaluation pending test results.
