I chose Dr.Lin to be my toddler's pediatrician at random from a list and now, after 2 appointments, I can say I feel super lucky! He has a such a funny, dry sense of humor, and interacts so well with my son. The office itself is very professional and always quickly responsive. So far we've only needed to go for the standard well visits, but I feel like if/when we run into any illness we'll be in good hands. I really like a straightforward, no-nonsense vibe, and Dr Lin is great with that. read more

I've seen several pediatricians for my now 8 month old daughter, and Dr. Lin is definitely one of my go-tos. As a paranoid new mom, I pester our many pediatricians on a constant basis for the tiniest thing (word of advice, googling your child's symptoms might not be a good idea beforehand, because it's usually not as bad as the internet tells you). Dr. Lin is very straight-forward. He isn't the soothing type of doctor that some moms might want, but he is a very intelligent one. He reminds me of House (anybody watch that show?), where he can diagnose your kid rather easily and accurately, and isn't fluffy with the words. I appreciate that he would personally follow up on my baby's conditions, even after office hours. Some pediatric offices only have a nurse follow up, if anyone at all. To me, that extra mile shows true compassion vs those who talk sugary sweet only when you're there and forget you as soon as you're gone. I highly recommend Dr. Lin if you're looking for a doctor who has your child's best interest. read more

We have been going to this office since my oldest daughter was 10 months old and she is now 16. Dr. Lin and Dr. Young have seen my girls through illness, broken bones, a hospitalization for a scary infant virus, asthma, puberty, rashes and hives, something stuck in the ear, you name it! They are all loving and kind! The care is personal and thorough. Liz and Kelly are friendly and compassionate. They always fit us in for our last minute emergencies and are so sweet to my daughters. This ped office has watched my daughters grow from babies to teens. They are family! read more

We had our 1st appointment with Dr.Lin and I can only confirm the justification of the positive reviews. He is fun, patient and very knowledgeable. We went through all questions that new parents usually have and he gave us the confirmation that we are doing everything correctly. read more

The 5 star average is legit. Dr. Lin and Dr. Young are a throwback to the way pediatricians should care for their patients. They are extremely caring and attentive. They are not seeking to maximize the quantity of patients coming through their office. Instead they are focused on the quality of patient care. Kelly is the greatest front office manager you'll find. There are very few who are as accomodating, friendly and sincere as she is. Nurse Liz is very gentle with patients, especially gifted at giving vaccinations. Believe me, we appreciate that! There have been several times when Dr. Lin and Young have gone above any expectations I would ask for. The stories are personal, so i cannot share much. I believe that many of their existing patients would say the same. They go beyond the call of duty. If you are looking for a pediatrician in this community, add them to your list to consider. read more

As a Father of three, I consider Dr. Lin the best pediatrician in Orange County. Caring, Compassionate, Professional and has a matching staff. If you are looking for a physician who will partner with you...look no further. On second thought, go somewhere else. If you come, I won't get an appointment. :) ***** (5 Stars)- Amazing, zero flaws, a must go! (Not given often) **** (4 Stars)- Memorable, strongly feel you should visit *** (3 Stars)- Above average, worth a visit ** (2 Stars)- Average, some pro's and some con's * (1 Star)- Opinion is do not go, below average read more

i am pleased to write a review and recommend this pediatric office! Let me begin by saying that i am a pediatric nurse practitioner myself, and i know what goes into having a positive and successful medical practice. 1) The first contact with the office is with Kelly. She is incredibly kind, prompt and efficient. I have 3 children all under the age of 5 and every time we enter for whoever's appointment, we are greeted by name and a genuine smile. The nursing staff are gentle and patient. Caring for children is a joy, but when you're viewed as the lady with the shots, it's a whole new ball game. These ladies handle it with professionalism and grace. 2) I appreciate that the office is privately owned and operated. They're not a part of a huge medical group that is about the bottom dollar. Their hands are not tied by red tape or policies and protocol that can take months to change. Dr. Lin and Dr. Young provide excellent and individualized care. They are both kind and warm. The appointment slots are actually much longer than you would get at any other office as well. The well child visits are 45 minutes long and the sick appointments are 30 minutes long. You don't feel rushed and have ample time to ask questions. Another thing I really appreciate is that both physicians practice according to the latest AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) guidelines. The guidelines change regularly and they are always up to date. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am about the care my kids receive here. Dr. Lin is our primary and I really love the guy. Despite the athletic gear he sports, his Ivy League background and impressive residency show through. :) He probably doesn't want anyone to know, but I think he may be a genius. read more

After seeing many pediatricians for my 2 boys, I have finally found the most caring, knowledgeable and patient pediatrician in Orange County. Dr. Lin will take his time with my boys to make them feel comfortable and trusting. Visiting the doctors office is no longer a drag. Trust me, you will be glad to have such a professional & caring doctor to care for your child. read more

My daughter had an ear infection and they encouraged me to come in right away. No wait and a fantastic doctor. My 4 girls are regular patients here now. Dr. Lin always calls back quickly, even after hours which is really handy when you have an emergency. He is on of the most knowledgeable and kind doctors I have ever met. Dr. Lin referred me to some other specialists, when needed, and the referrals are always excellent, too. We also really like Dr. Young in this office. She's pleasant, also very knowledgeable and takes her time with each child. Best of all, there's still never a wait! Love this place. read more

We found Dr. Lin after looking around and feeling frustrated by the care we received at other offices. I can't recommend Dr. Lin and Dr. Young enough they're the best pediatricians I've ever encountered. I don't know how they manage to always squeeze us in when I'm worried, because my daughter is sick or has a fever without other symptoms. Both of the doctors really listen when I explain something I think is strange and I feel that they take my concerns seriously. They always call back when they say they will and I feel confident that my kids are receiving the best care. read more

We have been seeing Dr. Lin for over eight years and think he has the best bedside manner and patient care available in south Orange County. Kelly seems to always fit us in for those "sudden emergencies" that always pop up. The rest of the staff is always so helpful and understanding and continue that great care that Dr. Lin provides. We really appreciate all that he has done for us and the others of his practice. Thank you Dr. Lin read more

Dr. Lin has treated my family for 14 years. 99% of our time has been above par. Today a miscommunication occurred and like most, yelp called out to me. I was upset because I thought I had taken care of a sports clearance and I believed Dr. Lin and I were on the same page. I received news that the office was not going to move forward on a situation. I want to share that Dr. Lin reached out to me personally to explain his side and was deeply apologetic over our miscommunication. I hope we both grew from today. Drs. are people too. This guy has a heart. read more

We absolutely LOVE Dr. Lin and Dr. Young. We have been patients for several years, and both of them have diagnosed and treated all 3 of our boys. I have referred many families from our church and neighborhood to them...and all have been so happy!! I just referred some parents-to-be this past week! The office staff is great, it's easy to get an appointment, and one of the doctors is always on call...you could not ask for a better health care provider for your babies, children, or teens. read more

I completely agree with Landon Y. when he says that Dr. Chris and Dr. Young are a throwback to the way pediatricians should care for their patients. I'm am so grateful that I got to know Dr. Chris and Dr. Young and their awesome staff. In the short time we've been seeing Dr. Chris he's proven to be an AMAZINGLY attentive and caring pediatrician to my daughter. I've been looking for so long to find a pediatrician like him and I was so happy and relieved to have found him. Whenever I had a question or worry, I would contact him and he would literally contact me back within the hour with helpful information. Every time we went in he would give us his full attention and take his time making sure everything was ok with my daughter. I never felt rushed (like I've felt MANY times before with previous pediatricians) and we felt thoroughly cared for. The staff is also very friendly and they get things done right away. I have never had any issues with billing, like I have had with other offices. I was so upset when I found out that we had to switch our insurance to Kaiser and would not be able to see Dr. Chris any longer. I vowed that I would find a way to get back our old insurance and go back to his office. In the meantime I felt that I had to at least get the word out that he is an awesome doctor and write out this review :) read more

Dr. Lin is an amazing pediatrician. We drive all the way from Corona and I'm also a health care provider so I know a good one when I find one. He keeps up to date with research and respects our opinions. Our kids aren't afraid of him and don't mind coming to him. If you are looking for kind and excellent care for your kids, give Dr. Lin and his staff a try. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Lin! He helped this frantic Mom out on Christmas Eve. I'm so grateful for his knowledge and accurate diagnosis. My 5 year old twins have made great recovery due to Dr. Lin's help. Come check out this compassionate, professional and caring doctor! read more

A top-notch Pediatric office EVER! My daughter has gone to Dr Lin since she was in Kindergarten. The entire staff makes you feel very comfortable. Everyone is extremely nice, warm. You think you were in a small town because that is how this office makes you feel. Don't get me wrong. Dr Lin is extremely intelligent and knows what he is doing! So you not only have an extremely brilliant physician, but you have one who is extremely nice and kind-hear-ted. He treats your kids as if they are his own! Everyone from the front office to the nurses are very nice too. Very very amazing guy! We love DR. LIN. read more

Dr Lin took care of me back in early 2000 when I was 12 and he was just a med student at the University of Chicago. Nicest most caring person ever! I'm 25 now and will never forget the great care I received from him! read more

Dr.Lin and Dr.Young are both wonderful doctors I can't say enough. When you call after hours you get the doctor not an answering service I have also been able to get my girls into to see then within a very short time when they are sick they always find a way to squeeze me in. Kelly at the front is great too you will love the whole office it will not disappoint. read more

I think we would all agree that finding a good Dr is a challenge for anyone. Well I'm proud to say I've finally have not only found a good Dr but a fantastic one at that! Dr Lin is extremely knowledgeable, professional and best of all stresses the importance of your healthcare above anything else. he gets to the root of your problems directly without all the extra "visits" dinging your insurance and co-pays. Prescriptions are completed fast and simple too. What a find! read more

Be aware. Doctors here are very casual and not compassionate. Poor care in my opinion. The staff is extremmely rude as well. Disapointing. Have been comming here for a couple of years and there's always a small thing here and there. I gave them a chance to prove me wrong but now I finally decided this place is not worth. Look somewhere else... read more

When your kids love to goto the doctor, that says it all. They are caring, loving and its so clean! Friendly... I was shocked the first time they called me after a visit to see how my son was doing, what doctor does that anyway!??! AWESOME read more

I have been bringing my three kids to Dr. Lin for 8 years and I trust him 100% with my kids lives. He is an outstanding Doctor and sincerely cares for each patient. He takes as much time as needed, and you never feel rushed. My kids absolutely love him too! He puts them at ease and makes them laugh every time they see him. He is an absolute natural with kids of all ages. He is just a wonderful person and takes fantastic care of my children. I recommend every one I can to him, he goes above and beyond each time. I honestly have never met a better more caring Doctor and my kids are blessed to have him. read more

We absolutely LOVE Dr Lin and Dr Young! They are both amazing, patient, and knowledgable. They always fit us in on the same day if we have a sick or injured little one. And we love that there is no after hours calling service, you actually get to speak with the doctor themselves! The office staff is also amazing and that is a find in itself! read more

We've been going to Dr. Lin and Dr. Young for over 6 years and love them! They spend a lot of time with my children, and my kids can't wait to see them. The office is always prompt in getting my children in and know me by my first name so when I call them they know exactly who I'm talking about without asking who my children are. Both Liz, and Kelly are remarkable ladies who work over and beyond for the office and the children. Love them! read more

Fantastic care for my two daughters. Dr Lin takes the time to explain the various options in regards to treatment. Will continue to use this practice for sure. read more

Don't know what we'd do without Dr. Lin...he is the best. All three of my kids have seen him for years. We love his bedside manner, and the fact that he is accessible via telephone and follows up to check on his sick patients. It's also obvious that he knows his stuff; he is able to explain both illness and treatment clearly and concisely, without being condescending. Scheduling appointments has never been an issue which is great when one of my children is under the weather. In fact, I can't remember a time that I've called when they couldn't squeeze us in the same day. From the minute you walk in to the time you head out the door you're treated with TLC and respect by everyone in the office -- the entire staff puts the patient first. They obviously care about the kids they treat AND their families. We are so grateful for Dr. Lin and his practice. read more

I'm giving 3 stars for my whole experience. Dr. Young is a great pediatrician. For the 2 visits my daughter had with her she was very patient with her. She's sweet and knowledgable. When you're looking for a pediatrician for your kids you're looking for a great practitioner, nice staff and an accommodating office. With that said, I tried scheduling an appointment and Liz the receptionist was extremely rude. She wasn't happy to say the least. That speaks a lot for an office when the person scheduling your appointment has a major attitude. Thanks but no thanks, there's plenty of other offices out there with pleasant staff! read more

I love Dr. Young!!! She is awesome! My daughter always wants to go see the doctor for the littlest thing ... I attribute this to Dr. Young being so wonderful. She's great with the kids, doesn't rush you, is very patient and kind, answers phone calls, returns phone calls, and is very responsive. I've never had a long wait to see the doctor. I've even bumped into Dr. Young in a restaurant and she came up to us and said hello and asked how we were doing!!!!!! Did I mention that I love Dr. Young??! I wish Dr. Young could be my primary care physician... read more

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILDREN HERE!! I brought my son here (who is asthmatic) when he was having an acute attack the other day. He had already been seen by Dr. Lin (I use the term doctor loosely), earlier this year for the same symptoms. After the initial visit with him we switched to his colleague Dr. Young, who we prefer over Dr. Lin. Unfortunately for us, Dr.Young was not in that day and so we were forced to see Dr. Lin, who greeted us very aggressively, rudely and treated us as if we were neglecting our child. I like to add that I have been a nurse for the last 10 years and when I was speaking to this doctor, he accused me of not being a nurse and basically implied I neglected my child by not taking him straight to the ER when I have a stethoscope at home as well as a pulse oximeter (which measures oxygen levels in our system) and he wasn't at a crucial level to where he needed to go to the ER (otherwise I would have taken him straight there). This doctor has Horrible bedside manner!! He is not only in the Wrong profession he should NOT be working with children! He is mean, scary to kids and they're scared enough at the doctors office as it is. I usually never leave in depth detailed yelp reviews, if at all for that matter, but I needed to let everyone know to not believe the nice reviews on this page, I know a few other parents who switched their Pediatrician after the first few visits with this doctor. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS RUDE, INCONSIDERATE, NON-EMPATHETIC, AGGRESSIVE, ANGRY DOCTOR!! I would give zero stars if I could but this app forces u to give one star at least . read more

We decided to switch over to this office because we moved closer to it. But before I switched I called the office knowing we had some potential procedures coming up where we would need to get in quickly for pre-ops. They said sure we take new patience and we will get you in within a couple days. So I made the switch with my insurance. Then a week or so later I called and got Kelly to set up a pre-op, we had a procedure that was urgently scheduled so we needed a simple pre-op appointment within 9 days. But Kelly said sorry we should have called sooner to make this appt..I explained that we actually didn't have dates yet but I did call her office to make sure we can get in quickly for a pre-op when needed before we changed to them as the provider and they said yes they can squeeze us in..... But she ignored what I said and she just repeated NO we can't do that. Then in a nasty tone just tried to put me down for not scheduling it weeks out. Not at all caring or thinking about what is best for the children. I started to say maybe you can ask the Doctor to see if the Doctor can make an exception.. Then BAM!!! SHE HUNG UP ON ME!!! Dr. Lin and Young are so nice and professional. It's sad that people like this ruin the names of their practice. read more

Dr. Lin and Dr. Young have really taken the time to get to know my children and all their "special" health issues. Both Dr. Lin and Dr. Young are seasoned professionals and highly experienced. The kids just love them too. The docs are full of energy and lots of "high 5's" and encouragement for the kids. So gentle too. The office has a small office feel and they will always fit you in for a sick visit. At their office my children really matter and the personal care they receive is just wonderful. Since our kids are many years apart...we had tried other pediatricians before we found Dr. Lin and Dr. Young years ago now. So we have experience with other offices and really know the difference. My children get GREAT care with Dr. Lin and Dr. Young. read more

To be clear I have not seen the doctors here but when I called to inquire about finding a pediatrician for my soon to be born twin boys I was told that they are so busy that they could not schedule a time for us to meet the doctor. Also, I was told that well baby check ups are being scheduled 2-3 months away. It makes me question their assurance that they will see the children same day when sick (or even shortly thereafter) given how busy they seem to be. Just FYI to those who are reading reviews and relying on their websites assurances which apparently are sorely out of date read more

Dr. Lin and his staff are amazing. They are pleasant, professional, and really care about the patients. Dr. Lin always looks out for the best interest of the patient. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Lin and his office to anyone. read more

We can't possibly say how much we love Dr. Chris Lin and his staff!! Their high level of experience and skill is even more appreciated because of being coupled with extraordinary care and compassion. My kids don't feel like anonymous patients going to see a random 'Doctor'....they actually look forward to seeing 'Chris' their friend. The office staff is equally great. Kelly, the receptionist is truly the kindest, and most accommodating person ever! She works hard to get you an appt as soon as possible and at times with very little notice. If you call with a question or concern, she ensures that you receive the information you need in the most timely manner. Liz, the nurse is so sweet and is a magician when it comes to delivering the dreaded 'shots'. Her calm and caring demeanor helps lessen the anxiety of everyone involved and even better, she's done in a flash! I could go on and on but I will sum up by saying... If you are looking for the best possible care for child, you have definitely found it here! read more

Dr. Lin has been our pediatrician for several years now and we couldn't be happier. He's great with the kids, makes them laugh and feel at ease. My 7-year old even says that he wants to be a doctor like Dr. Lin. It's easy to get same-day appointments when the kids are sick and to get after hour advice. This is a really great practice and I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Lin and Dr. Young really care about your children and are just great. Truly. Our 3 children LOVE them are truly blessed to have them as their doctor. They know our children by sight, really care about them and remember all the health issues going on with them. No other pediatrician can even come close in comparison seriously. Not just wonderful medical attention and extensive experience and knowledge, but they go above and beyond, always available any time via phone day or night. Amazing. The doctors take their own calls and are always reachable after hours if needed. I can not say enough good things about them. We have had a couple of health scares lately and they handled everything wonderfully. They are in practice together and the office has a warm, small office feeling. So blessed to have them care for my kids. read more

Can't say enough good things about this practice. When I was pregnant with my first child my husband and I decided to interview local pediatricians. Dr. Lin was the first and last one we interviewed. This is incredibly rare for me--I am a crazy researcher. We just knew he was the one for us. I have taken all 3 of my children to Dr. Lin since they were born and I can't recommend him and his practice enough. I am even trying to convince a friend of mine who lives over an hour away to go with him--he's that good. Your child could not be in better hands. They offer same-day sick appointments and make every effort to squeeze you in. There's no exchange or answering service--if you call after hours you speak to your doctor. They give follow-up calls to see how your children are doing. This is the way a doctor's office should be run. My kids actually ask to go to the doctor's. What a difference from my experience as a child! Every person in the office takes the time to get to know you and your kids like close friends, and there is never more than a wait of a few minutes in the waiting area or the patient rooms. Each room has a fun theme for the kids, and Nurse Liz remembers your child's favorite and has it waiting for them. She's gentle and quick with vaccinations and genuinely loves your kids. Kelly, the front office manager, is the sweetest person you will ever meet. She always has your child's favorite stickers ready when they're done and goes above and beyond with questions, appointment changes or anything else you could need. Dr. Lin and Dr. Young are loving, attentive and skilled physicians that take great joy in what they do. They love kids and they love to help them. They care about you and your kids, not about numbers. They have amazing attention to detail, even juggling symptoms from 3 kids in one appointment. They make each child, and even the parents, feel special and valued. They take the time to go over all your questions, no matter how ridiculous, and never rush you. They are patient, understanding, and they know their stuff. They explain different options thoroughly, and I would trust their opinions over anyone else's. We are actually putting off a needed move out of the area for two reasons--our church and Dr. Lin. Our kids deserve the best and you can't get better than this. If you're looking for a great doctor for your children you will not regret checking them out. read more

Dr. Lin, and Dr. Young are the best pediatricians around and their office staff is AMAZING too! We just love them. They have treated my daughters like they are their own children. I just them completely. Not to mention they are so great with parents too. I am extremely protective of my children and both doctors are so patient and understanding with me. I would recommend these doctors to anyone. We moved from OC to Corona and still make the drive to see them because they are just that good. It is not often you find a great doctor and I am fortunate I foound the 2 best pediatricians out there!!!! read more

What an amazing office! Everyone is super friendly and caring. My children feel like their doctors actually know who they are. Dr. Young is professional, kind, patient and I would recommend this team to anyone. The nurses and office staff are very helpful and compassionate which tells you a lot about the management of the office. I am thankful to have Dr. Lin and Dr. Young as my children's pediatricians. read more
