Dr. Lin and his nurses have made my cancer journey nothing less than life saving and life changing. After my visits with him, I walk away with the confidence that I have gotten the best treatment possible for my condition and that he has referred me to and collaborated with the best health care team for my overall treatment plan. For this reason I have and will recommend family and friends to him and all the City of Hope team. Thank you! - Verified patient
