William Wei Lin, MD - NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

When it comes to my doctors I don't need a best friend, I need an accurate diagnosis, from a professional. This is what Dr. Lin will give you. Does he run late? Occasionally, but not always. But tell me, what specialist is EVER on time? I want my doctor to help me just like you do, so that can take time. Sometimes there is an emergency, and if that was me, I would want him to take care of me first, so think about that before you get upset about waiting for any specialist! He is plenty courteous but can be serious when he needs to be. He is going to find and take care of your problem. In the end that is what you want and need, not hand holding. Now if I had to have major surgery, I might want to have more support, but I believe you can get that with this doctor. I find when you tell doctors you are scared they become more compassionate! Is he running around, yes! He is busy! Will he do his best to help you. Yes. His nurse will follow up with you if you have a question.

Dr. Lin was the doctor who took charge of helping to remove my kidney stone which was detected while I was traveling abroad. What I found most intriguing about him was his ability to make good decisions quickly and his not mind going out of his way to get things done right away. For example, on the day of the surgery, he would go to the pharmacy to get the IV antibiotic rather than wait for the nursing staff to do so. In addition, when there was still infection in my urine, he would himself contact the infection specialist so that we did not have to schedule the appointment ourselves. As it turned out, he was able to give us the right antibiotic right away without us having to see the infections specialist. He would do anything in his power to help his patients. He does not want to waste time in trivial matters and is more concerned with results, which we think is worth more than a thousand words. He is a man of actions and let actions speak for themselves. Once you get to know him he is very pleasant to work with. Kudos to Dr. Lin !!!!

Dr. Lin performed a surgical procedure on me a couple of months ago - he did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend him - his bedside manner is excellent, and he is meticulous and extremely knowledgeable in the urology space. 5 Stars!
