If you have non-life threatening GYN issues and want to stay in the DC area, I have heard he is great. Unfortunately, our experience with him for my mother's cancer journey was abysmal. 1) My mother's GYN said to call continuously and make sure Dr. Lin reviewed her file to see if he could see her sooner than 3 weeks out, but no one ever called back (we called once to twice every weekday) 2) about two weeks after calling daily we finally spoke with Dr. Lin (because my brother camped out in his waiting area all afternoon and finally caught him when he was leaving for the day) and Dr. Lin said he had reviewed her file but that despite her highly aggressive cancer, he was certain she would be fine so there was no need to see her sooner 3) I pushed for having a CT scan before our appointment and the CT scan indicated cancer had started to spread outside of her uterus but when we finally met with him, he still was "very confident she [would] be just fine" so waiting another three weeks for surgery would have no material impact 4) when we finally switched doctors the week before her surgery he called and told me that I was probably killing my mother because the other surgeon likely wouldn't have time to do her surgery in the near future and that he was booked for months out and by that time her cancer would have progressed to a point that she would likely die. Fortunately, we had a leading expert in rare and aggressive uterine cancers agree to fit us into her schedule and perform her surgery within three business days of our meeting her, which was within a week of her original surgery date. My mother's staging went from what was likely stage 1 to stage 4 during the time in which Dr. Lin had us wait, all the time claiming he was "confident" she would be "just fine." Cancer is unpredictable; however, I could have respected Dr. Lin if he said her future was uncertain given the fact her cancer was rare and aggressive. I find it unconscionable that he called to try to guilt trip a cancer patient for switching doctors and am only grateful my mother passed me the phone so she didn't have to hear his negativity. For high-grade or advanced GYN cancers, I highly recommend going to Hopkins in Baltimore. If you don't live near Baltimore, I recommend researching your specific type of cancer and finding a cancer center with an expert in that type of cancer.
