Thomas Lin, MD

Dr. Lin is a godsend. Attentive and spent time answering all of our questions, including coming back after we had forgotten to mention our sons enormous splinter he had gotten under his foot over the weekend before our visit. He came back and checked the foot out to make sure there wasn’t anything else left behind or infected. Very few pediatrician a will provide a cell phone number and answer your calls on a Sunday evening the week before Christmas, and very kindly say come in. That for me is above and beyond. Where our last two pediatricians would’ve turned us away to urgent care. He’s awesome, feeling someone has your child’s well being in mind and your peace of mind soothed makes the trip from hacienda heights to irvine worth every minute!

I understand that there is a DIRE need for doctors in this area that are non-​conventional. That being said I really cannot recommend this doctor!
First of all, they are billing me for a co-​pay that was not collected for a «consultation visit». This is after 1 year of visiting them. Are you serious!!! Yes they had a collection agency call me saying I didn’t pay for a co-​pay 1 year later. Let’s say this is true and they needed $ 25 for a «consultation visit», why the hell didn’t they collect it that day I went to visit this doctor? How do you get past the front desk without having to pay a co-​pay!!!
Besides this irritating matter, the reason why I decided not to chose him for our child is that he didn’t spend time going over his practice thoroughly. He basically emphasized having a delayed vaccination schedule (gave us a sheet), went over a few of my questions (very quickly as a matter of fact… the biggest pet peeve when visiting a pediatrician or any doctor), and that was it.
I’m surprised by how many patients do like him as I’ve read his reviews online elsewhere but maybe that’s because they there aren’t many doctors that are non-​conventional.
I also hate reviewers that just say negative things about a business without giving other options. We see Dr. Aufdemberg (he will spend quality time with you!) in Irvine and Dr. Pam in Newport Beach.

Dr. Lin is a great pediatrician, informed professional and listener. He has been our kids doctor for a few years. Each time I have found him to be helpful and knowledgeable. He has even returned calls and answered emails after hours on a couple of occasions when my children were ill. He takes a comprehensive approach to health and care of his patients. Our kids love him. We like the way he talks with the kids and not «at» them when they see him and ask questions. He is direct, yet kind. Great job Doc!

This review is long overdue. Dr. Lin takes care of our 3 year old and five month old boys. BEST DOCTOR EVER! We love our pediatrician! He is kind, gentle, extremely knowledgeable and to the point. We rarely have to wait to be seen, and his office is neat and clean. Most importantly, he takes his time with vaccines, and is very organic and holistic in his approach. We feel good going to see him and are grateful to have him as our doctor. His priority is your kids and their comfort and happiness.
We are advocates of his and refer all our friends to him.

Best doctor ever. He does not push the drugs on your kids.
