C. David Lin, M.D. — Local services in New York

The staff were very friendly and caring. I took great effort to relay my medical symptom history and felt that Dr Lin listened well. I described my best understanding of the health issues I am experiencing, but ultimately felt the medical advice was a little generic (general stretches given to me as advice, nothing personalized) and dismissive in nature (MRI information minimized, even though I am experiencing pain, numbness, and bodily dysfunction). Perhaps I should spend more time becoming acquainted with Dr Lin so that a broader understanding of my health can be garnered, and more personalized advice can be provided.

NYP hospital also have a significant traffic congestion problem with a small pickup lane, multiple unattended vehicles, and slower patients in need of assistance. Multiple drivers were becoming frustrated after sitting in line for ~15 minutes and honking.

I believe the entrance lobby was also unclear in it's direction for patients/visitors.

I needed to travel into the city which cost a significant amount of time and money, but do not believe this was...

For the past 6 months, I have visited 5-6 doctors in different medical fields to diagnose the body pains from head to toes, many PTs sessions seemed not helping too much either, until I visited Dr. Lin.

When he walked in to the exam room, he already read my medical records on file, patiently listened to my story and studied the X-Rays (from other doctors) I brought with me.

Dr. Lin immediately pinpointed the trouble area which other doctors missed, and prepared PT order with a list of Rehab locations. He also ordered additional x Rays for different complaints and submitted to their Radiation dept immediately. One-Stop Shopping, wasted no time, I got my x-Rays taken within 20 minutes.

Two days later, Dr. Lin called me and explained to me the result of the X-Rays and the issues, also provided me options of the fixes, considering I am not a big fan of taking medicine. He really helped me to get back on track and focus on the healing process. It might take sometime to recover but I already feel the improvement...

I wouldn’t know where to start. Not only have I entrusted my pain management needs to Dr. Lin over the years but also the pain management needs of many of my loved ones and friends. Dr Lin conjugates an easy and very pleasant bedside manner with superb medical expertise. He is very responsive when we’ve asked for his feedback on something and making an appointment with him is pain-free. He takes the time to listen, validate your concerns and effectively partners with you on your treatment plan. He is not like other providers I’ve had the misfortune to come across that give you 5 mins of their time, after hours of waiting time and jump right into a diagnosis and prescription. He is the complete opposite of that. He truly is a jewel. It is no surprise he is rated among America and New York Magazine’s top doctors. If you have pain management or rehab needs or a loved on does, do not wait another...
