SHC Patient, Dec 2018
Other than putting a name to my condition, Dr. Lin did not discuss possibilities for treatment which was concerning to me as my eyesight has degraded significantly. Additionally, I had concerns about how quickly this came on which I discussed repeatedly and he repeatedly ignored those concerns. Two of his associates came in to examine me and spouted a ridiculous amount of scientific terms and didn't address me personally once. I felt like a lab rat.
SHC Patient, Dec 2018
Dr Charles Lin was excellent, and all the nurses were so friendly, kind, etc, nothing but the BEST attention.
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
Caring is natural part of Dr. Lin's character. He is a good doctor both in expertise and caring.
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
Dr. Lin is fantastic in every regard.
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
already spoke to my family. My sister was very impressed of the service since she observed all.
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
8. Excellent.

Dr. Lin came highly recommended by a friend who had personal experience of Dr. Lin's care. I was pleased to learn my friend's opinion is justified.
SHC Patient, Aug 2018
Dr. Lin has a wonderful bedside manner - I think he is great.
SHC Patient, Aug 2018
The biggest issue is the Dr. seems very rushed and consequently, I as a patient feel very hurried to ask my questions or air my concerns.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
I had a conversation a while ago and asked him to give me more information but he just doesn't seem to be able to do that and I am not sure what questions to ask.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
Good service.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
We feel so confident that we are in the best hands to deal with the eye problem. Dr. Lin is above and beyond all expectations of care and time it takes to relieve any concerns.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
For whatever reason, eye problems--particularly surgery--produces anxiety, and the staff in its entirety was exceptionally sensitive and reassuring.
SHC Patient, May 2018
excellent
SHC Patient, May 2018
Dr. Lim is not warn and fuzzy. He is a manner-of-fact man, which is not bad but it would have been better if I was consulted about the type of lens to use, not just told. Also a minute spent on a patients anxiety would also be highly valued.
SHC Patient, May 2018
Dr. Lin is a remarkable surgeon. I am forever grateful for his care. With his expertise my vision now exceeds my expectations. We are fortunate to have such an excellent corneal surgeon here at Byer's Eye Institute. Thank you Dr. Lin!

after the two assistants before him, who were so kind and attentive, he seemed very rushed and it made it feel like it was a long wait for a very short visit.
SHC Patient, Jan 2018
Drs. Lin & Roc are excellent!
SHC Patient, Jan 2018
Excellent care. All questions answered. It would be good to have an understanding of the cost of the prescription called in. (This was a follow up visit. The first visit was in the late afternoon, the only appointment available at a very short notice, and the doctor was extremely busy but still saw all of his patients. I was very grateful that I got to see Dr. Lin on that day.) He is extremely competent and reassuring.
SHC Patient, Jan 2018

SHC Patient, Oct 2017
No problem.
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
My answers reflect the time spent with the doctor who is working with Dr. Lin--I regret I don't remember his name. Dr. Lin's time with me seemed perfunctory, and I understand that given the extent of the care provided by the first doctor.
SHC Patient, Sep 2017

SHC Patient, Mar 2017
Dr Lin is exceptional. I am 72 so I really do have a lot to compare him to. The results of my cataract surgeries compare favorably to my friends (who went to other physicians). Basically my vision is now unbelievably good.. Like I was 21 again And I did have some issues that made my surgeries somewhat challenging.!!! And as I'm sure you hear from his other patients, his God - given personality, manner, and sincere concern for his patients is exactly what every patient would want.
SHC Patient, Feb 2017
Dr.Chen is very caring. He knows what check up I came for , If I am ready for Cataract surgury of my right eye
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
good
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
incredibly wonderful doctor in every way, communication skills, knowledge, caring, took plenty of time, left feeling great sense of trust. my mom couldn't stop saying what a wonderful medical experience with everyone who worked with us. many apologies about some delay; lucky to have delays because it means the team is really going above and beyond for each patient, healthcare not business.
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
The resident was very informative and friendly and Dr. Lin was much more friendly and timely.
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
I was losing my vision from a corneal disease. I met with 5 corneal specialists before I selected Dr. Charles Lin as my surgeon. Dr. Lin is a brilliant, gifted, and compassionate surgeon. Because of his expertise and a near miracle surgery I will see my 4 year old daughter grow up! Thank you Dr. Lin. I am forever grateful.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
Dr. Lin is awesome! Great bed side manager and patience! He took the time explaining everything and answering my questions. I chose Stanford to do my Cornea Transplant because of Dr. Lin's humble and affable personality was so much better than Dr. Lee at Los Altos Eye Physicians.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
Very good.

SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Dr. Lin is a gifted and remarkable physician. Anywhere else, such a person would have an ego the size of the Superdome, but he is open, humorous, caring and supremely communicative concerning conditions and options for care. I have never had a doctor I liked and appreciated more!
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
I've unfortunately been going to doctors my entire life (had polio) and Dr. Lin's knowledge, caring respect concern & willingness to answer questions put him way, way at the top - he's extraordinary.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Dr. Lin is a consummate surgeon, who... with real warmth,... for the patient.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
After waiting for about an hour in a room by myself, when the doctor finally did come in he was obviously in a hurry and showed zero concern for my problem. He was there for about 2 minutes, looked at my eyes and then told me I was fine. When I questioned that he told me to see an eyelid specialist. I was there for an ulcer/corneal abrasion and pain and swelling in my eye for which I was seen in the ER. I am not sure what that has to do with my eyelids. I actually have been meaning to call to complain but since I received this survey, I will voice my complaint here as well. He was definitely trying to rush me out since he was running way behind schedule.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
I can not praise Dr. Lin highly enough. he is friendly, listens attentively to my concerns and is a gifted surgeon.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
I felt rushed, almost like the doctor has a daily quoata to meet
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Very good visit. The Doctor was patient, kind, showed a lot of concern for my condition and answered all my questions with great empathy, gave me encouragement and told me some very important information about my condition that will help me plan out my treatment. His staff even followed through with me on the phone the next day about an eyedrop prescription. I came out of the visit feeling a lot better. Thank you Doctor
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
My home circumstances have made planning this procedure extraordinarily difficult. The physician was extremely capable at listening with an "inner ear". I appreciate deeply his medical skill and caring approach.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
amazing experience
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Dr. Lin is ok when my condition is stable. Doesn't seem experienced when my condition worsens. Doesn't share information on prognosis based on his experience treating other patients in my situation.
SHC Patient, May 2016
Dr. Lin. The best surgeon and caring person. Surgery was very successful.. The staff that works with him.. the best. thank you all for my care...
SHC Patient, May 2016

SHC Patient, May 2016

SHC Patient, Oct 2015
I think very highly of Dr. Lin & very grateful that Dr. Manche referred me to him.
SHC Patient, Oct 2015
He's nothing short of amazing!! I thought I would need full cornea transplants (after going blind) which take a year before you can see. He's one of the few that can do DMEC just transplant cells destroying my corneas before I go blind & you can see 2 weeks later!! A miracle! Genius! So, so lucky to have him as my doctor!
SHC Patient, Sep 2015
They made a big effort to see me before I had to leave on a family trip.

no issues here.
SHC Patient, Apr 2015
Thank you Dr. Lin for the excellent cataract surgery you performed. I have very complicated eye conditions and Dr. Lin masterfully dealt with them in my first surgery. I am confident that equal expertise will be used on my other eye. I REALLY am pleased with everything you have done to help me with my vision loss issues. Thank you!
