Dr. Lin is very experienced in this field. The treatment he prescribed in the very first visit was right on the money. I hoped, but still hard to believe my atrial fibrillation problem would be gone so quickly. He was very patient during the visit. He gave his recommendation, but still would thoroughly explain all my options. Highly recommend!
