Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
Dr. Paul Lin has saved my life from bedrest in excruciating pain from nerve damage throughout my spine and neck. Fellows fortunate enough come from across the globe to study under his compassionate and spot on perfect care. Finding him was miraculous; through the equally best in practice spine surgeon, Dr. Amit Patel, as he was rotating in the physician OWNED, Urgent Care, more than 15 years ago. Drs. Paul Lin and Amit Patel continue to give me my life back each time I have to get a spine procedure done after a decade of battery, assaults and strangulations. Dr. Lin has a calming bedside manner, as these procedures mean I must be wide awake. While the procedures themselves are excruciating, they are nothing compared to the pain I am in before I arrive. This time was not an ablation, but a test recommended by my surgeon, Dr. Amit Patel. My pain went from a 13 to a zero, and worst a 2-3. No meds after, no cool packs. I'm sleeping in a normal bed for the 1st time since 2020 and not my hospital bed. My Godsent physicians, Dr. Paul Lin and surgeon Dr. Amit Patel have given me new life again. Thank you to Dr. Becky I, as she was a blessing by Dr. Paul Lin's side now twice. To nurse Nancy who called my honey and not ma'am, lol, to nurse Faith, who could light up a room with her smile, and to I'm sorry nurse in the OR for forgetting your name, but you were gentle, thorough and comforting. Dr. Lin: thank you for your physical touch as you verbally asked if I was okay throughout, and for being spot on perfect as you are! Lastly, Dr. Amit Patel, thank you for this recommendation, like all of your others; extended my quality of life. You are each kind, thorough, compassionate, and have been my journal and healer when I could not do either thing for myself. Blessings and grace to you each! P.S. Dr. D, or Andrew who observed, be a sponge!

I have been seeing Dr. Paul Lin for over a decade and was referred by my equally talented spine surgeon. Dr. Lin takes time to diagnose, explain, prior to procedure. His drive for excellence in compassionate and perfection in care shows in many patients. I went from bedrest to fully functioning. The most recent procedure was not another complete ablation, but a test and injections. When he was finished, again, like many other times, I had to ask if he'd done anything because...he's THAT GOOD at his profession! Excellent bedside manner and world class care!
