    This doctor should have his license taken away. I took my 7 year old son to Dr. A. Lin for a rash in which he has had for 3 months. He was very rude and when I tried to give him some history on what has happened and the treatments we have tried, he raised his hand to my face and hushed me, saying he was the one who would ask the questions. The only thing he wanted to hear from me was why we were in Edmonton and not in Saskatoon in which I explained we could not get in to Saskatoon and my son needed quicker medical care. He threw his hand up saying he did not know what was wrong and told us to go to Saskatoon for a secong opinion. He prescribed some cream for us to try in which I told him we had the exact same cream at home. This made him very angry and he said we were to get this cream and use it. He was so very ignorant. I did get the cream and $69.00 later we now have 2 tubes of the same cream and no relief. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR. He is a waste of time and energy!!

    He didn’t care, and talked as he was walking out the door. He did not even ask about my symptoms and I didn’t get a chance to tell him all of them. I seriously know more about medicine than this douchebag. NOT recommended

    would not reccomend this doctor to anybody! I brought my daughter to him after being referred by my doctor and what a wasted trip! He spent all of 3 minutes in the room after we sat there waiting for 45 minutes with a 3 month old baby. He came in the door and started in on me about how I should already have my baby undressed cause he doesn’t have all day!When he asked me questions about my daughters eczema and I replied he held his hand to my face and told me not to tell him my life story….what a joke! It took a couple weeks before I could get in for an appointment with him so at that time my baby wasn’t having a flare up of her skin and he told me that there is nothing he can do because there is nothing wrong with her and there is no sign of eczema! He then proceeded to give me samples of sunscreen to put on my 3 month old..surely a dermatologist should know not supposed to put sunscreen on a baby under 6 months DUH! he then left the room…i didn’t even know my app. was over! RUDE!

    This doctor is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my life! He wouldn’t even let me talk, whenever I tried to explain my problem he just rolled his eyes at me. He was very rude and I will never see him again, and I would never refer anyone to him.

    This man completely lacks bedside manners. He is rude and does not explain what your diagnosis is nor does he explain the recommended treatment. The 2 minutes that you are in his office does not allow you to ask questions, nor does he answer them anyways. Other than spraying one spot on my face which I pointed out to him, he has NEVER checked to see if I might have any other potential areas of skin cancer. I do not recommend anyone to see him. If I could get another specialist I would.

    I was extremely dissatisfied. I was saddened to see that he didn't care. I wish there were better doctors. He gives a sad meaning to dermatologist. very poor and unknowledgeable service.

    Dr. Lin came across as an indifferent sort of man,as he always approaches with his arms crossed and he does not smile at you. He doesn't give much information to you without further inquiry on the patients part. A concern I had was dismissed on 3 separate visits before a referral was made to another specialist which required important dermatological surgery. I was not pleased with his care and will not return to see him.

    WORST DOCTOR EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Don't waste your time visitng Dr. Lin, because he sure doesn't care that you are there. He did nothing for me and just told me there was no cure...I know, I've been suffering from eczema for 8 years now but there are things out there to help and he didn't offer me anything other than an over the counter drug which I have already tried without success. I honestly think he should retire since he doesn't care about any of his patients at all. I will also be talking to my family doctor who recommended him and get her to start referring her patients to a dermatologist who cares. If you see Dr. Lin, I promise you, you will leave upset or mad without any help, so please ask to see a different dermatologist and hopefully you will have better luck than I did and less wasted time.

    I see there's a lot of bad comments, about Dr Lin,and if you are not happy with your doctor you have the right to change, but I guess I'm thankful for him diagnosing my Lupus 10 years ago when no one else could. He was a different doctor then, and as the years went by he has changed, from that doctor that I first met, that as soon he looked at me started asking the right question and then diagnosed my Lupus. If I didn't know him before I'll have to agree with you all. Something has definitely changed in his personal life, or profession, or who knows what. All though we'd like to think differently, people in the medical profession (nurse,doctors,tech.etc)are people too who have real lives, who lose loved ones, they get sick, you can only know if you take a walk in their shoes. I still refer to him as the doctor that saved my life. I don't expect you to change you minds, just a litte food for thought.

    This doctor isn't very personable. He has an expression on his face that is very apathetic and overall he doesn't seem very happy. I went in for exacerbation of my eczema and after a great deal of personal research and observation I thought my diet was involved. He immediately dismissed the possibility without a thorough explanation. When I referred to my lesions as blisters he interrupted me and told me not to call them blisters. Then a few minutes later I said I get do get blisters sometimes and he shrugged and said sometimes that happens. I was surprised he contradicted himself. Overall he didn't seem to care and dismissed me as yet another incurable eczema case. I will be looking for another dermatologist.
