Dr. Lin was referred to me by a friend, and I really appreciate her. Dr. Lin and his staff are fantastic. His receptionist Lisa is super friendly and efficient. She was my first contact and I found her courteous, friendly demeanor exceptional. His assistant, Bernadette is very professional and lovely as well. Richelle was my hygienist, she provided excellent cleaning and explained everything she was doing. Dr. Lin is thorough, professional and very nice. I got my one back tooth taken care of in no time. He made it painless, now I am chewing on both sides...yay! Thank you Dr. Lin and staff!! read more

Been going to Doctor Lin's office for years. Office staff, technicians, and DrLin are awesome people. Friendly, professional, and just great at their jobs. Dr. Lin some how does everything pain free, and quickly. No suffering. Crowns and fillings have lasted forever. Pricing is very competitive with discounts on old guys like me. I would recommend this group to any and all. read more

Everyone in this office is friendly. Dr. Lin explains everything he is doing and considers all treatments around your current insurance coverage. read more

I would rate 0 if it was an option. They have been billing me for more than 5 years for services which were never provided. Every year I call their accountant, explain the situation and than they bill me again. I hope their dental services are better than this billing mess. read more

Amazing Dentist, Amazing People, Amazing Service They deserve more than 5 stars. If you are looking for a dentist where you can get a quality, honest service with a smile, stop looking you found it. Honestly, they are great! Thank you, read more

See all

Let me preface this by saying that I haven't gone to Dr. Lin in more than 5 years, yet the impression he left was strong enough that I not only remember his name to this day, but I also wanted to leave him a review here. When I was a kid, I had some really bad experiences with dentists that left me terrified of them. Dr. Lin worked with me around that fear, and beyond that? Getting cavities worked on with him just plain wasn't as bad as it had been with other dentists. When I told him this and asked why that was, he told me that while all dentists have to go through the fundamentals of their craft, toward the end they are able to choose a specialty. He said that when he asked his dad for advice on what specialty to choose, his dad said that he might not know if he'd had the finest root canal in the history of the world, but he knew if it hurt. So, Dr. Lin chose to specialize in pain management. When it was time to fix my cavities? He used the numbing gel and left that qtip in the spot he'd soon give me an injection to let it soak in as much as possible, and then came back and added more for good measure. When it was time for the injection, he grabbed my cheek with his other hand and wiggled it while doing the injection, because the brain can't process both stimuli at once, and so it lessens the pain. With all of that? It barely hurt at all! I was amazed to be honest with you. I've since moved, unfortunately, but if I still had dental insurance, I'd strongly consider making the hour and a half drive out there just to have Dr. Lin be the one to address any future cavities I may develop. All in all? 10/10, especially for anyone who's had a bad history with dentists who could care less about your comfort level. read more

I brought my 93 year old father here for a long overdue cleaning (since his previous dentist retired). The staff was warm and welcoming and his hygienist was gentle, reassuring and thorough. He was comfortable throughout the process and he looks forward to his next cleaning in 6 months. I would recommend this dental team. read more

Best dentist of my adult life. Dental assistant was also great. He takes the time to explain what is going on and even helped fix my mouth guard that a previous dentist had made which had been too thick. Friendly and professional. read more

Quoted me one price but when the bill came it had a higher price. He denied quoting me the original price. No morals or scruples. Avoid this con artist who won't stand by his word. read more

I am really impressed by how well Dr. Lin and his staff have put all of the COVID-19 safety procedures in place! I returned to their office today for my 6-month teeth cleaning and exam. With all the protocols in, I felt very safe--and thrilled to get my teeth the cleaning they needed! Dr. Lin has been my dentist for probably more than 10 years now, and I have a great deal of confidence in his care. My teeth and gums have never been healthier! read more

Dr. Lin rocks! He cares for his patients and that shows in his work. He chose the harder route of replacing my fillings which would save the teeth that are healthy and also more economical for me (even with insurance) instead of a more costly, repeat procedure of crowning (which would require damaging healthy teeth) that would've been easier and faster for him to do. Dr. Lin explains everything he does and is very much a perfectionist. He fixed the mediocre work of a previous dentist and for that I am very much indebted. He also has nitrous for the weak and faint-hearted. For those that don't have insurance, they have great referral benefits and offer 10% discount on things that insurance doesn't cover. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Lin for 3+ years now. He is awesome - very patient and willing to explain everything and show you pictures / mirrors so you can see what's wrong. He is good about giving you realistic options - he doesn't quite rush into doing dental work that's not needed. Dr. Lin's office person - Debbie - is a genius with insurance plans and knowing how to save you some $$. Highly recommended. read more

Let me preface by saying I hated hated and dreaded going to the dentist...until I met Dr. Lin. He has made me so happy that I tell everyone about him. He has state of the art cameras so you clearly see your teeth candidly instead of an unclear x ray. He is patient, friendly, professional, and I trust him 100%. When he took out my back tooth he applied the needle with the anesthesia and I didn't feel it. I asked him how he did it and he explained that when he went to dental school he took extra classes on applying the anesthesia. And boy when I went in for a deep cleaning I asked him to take care of the anesthesia and it was painless. I am ecstatic that I found the perfect dentist for our family. He is very honest and won't steer you the wrong way and he ensures that his customers receive the best care. The best Thing is that he speaks my language...aka ... No Pain! He has restored my faith in the dentist. Thank you Dr. Linn. You have saved My teeth and made me believe in you read more

I've been going to Dr. Lin for several months now and I have to say he is fantastic! (Even if he is kind of a Blackhawks fan) I discovered Dr. Lin through YELP - thanks YELP - looking for a dentist that provided Nitrous. Dr. Lin absolutely lives up to his 5 star rating. My first visit was a cleaning with Sue one his his hygienists. Sue is great and said she would be able to wean me off of nitrous for my cleanings...I have to say she have a very good chance of it. Sue was very thorough and gentle.... I've seen Dr. Lin a few times for teeth problems and have always thought he was great but this weekend pushed him over the top! I had an old molar break late in the day on a Friday. The next morning my husband convinced me to call the dentist. I did and within 5-10 minutes Dr. Lin had called me back! We talked about the tooth and I really didn't want to make him come in on a weekend - selfishly I didn't want to go in either. As it turns out I should have gone in since the Sharks lost! Anyway - so much to my surprise Dr. Lin called me again on Sunday morning to see how I was doing! Incredible! Got my tooth fixed yesterday and again, great care, great office, good nitrous and I am a happy camper. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lin and his staff..... read more

Five stars means something along the lines of, "As good as it gets." I can't say I've ever given this rating to one of my dentists before. I mean, they've all been FINE, but they didn't exceed expectations. A hygienist would come in, clean my teeth, tell me to floss more and then set me loose with a tiny tube of toothpaste. Sometimes I'd actually meet my dentist. Usually not. The trip to Dr. Lin's office was another thing entirely. For one, they told me that the initial visit can take up to two hours, or more, so set aside a fair bit of time. Before I continue, let's break this down for a second. I like having my teeth cleaned. That fresh, smooth feeling you have post scaling. The positive reinforcement that whatever crazy-ass thing you're doing with your sonic toothbrush is paying off. Maybe it's because I've never had dental issues (aside from an unpleasant 10 months with braces back in the day). But whatever, going to the dentist is enjoyable. But two hours seemed a bit excessive. Was this going to result in a thousand dollars of "critical" "immediate" work? Nope. It's just thorough. After a typical cleaning by a very friendly and knowledgable hygienist, Sue, I got a detailed lecture on the risks and causes of gum disease. I got a mouth/neck cancer screening. I got a detailed explanation of what each of my teeth is dealing with. After this, Dr. Lin sat down with me and talked about my general health. He used a laser to investigate a few problem areas -- Things to keep an eye on. Nothing that requires intervention. I really enjoyed my trip here and I feel good knowing that my mouth is in good shape. I'll happily return in six months. read more

I really really really didn't want to go to the dentist. I haven't been to the dentist in 4 years! I was recommended to Dr. Lin from a friend and I am glad that I came here. Dr. LIn was very gentle and explained to me what was going on, step by step. They have these really cool cameras and monitors. He uses the small camera to take pictures of your teeth and shows them to you on the monitor. Kinda gross to see your teeth close up but way interesting. I had a filling done and was also very scared about getting the shot done. He was very good at giving the shot and it didn't hurt at all. He also went out of his way to call me later on that week when I asked about dentists that work with special needs people. I recommend Dr. Lin to everyone! He really cares about his patients! read more

Dr Lin is an awesome denstist. Both my wife's family and mine go to Dr Lin and his staff. He always explains everything before doing it. He's also accomodating to special schedules and will work with you to fit you into his busy day. No matter how busy he is, he always seems to make you feel like he's spending all his time with you. He's also a car buff, so kill some time and bs about cars! read more

Perfect in every way. They'll even walk you through and explain everything they are doing while they clean/work on your teeth if you're a curious nerd like me, haha. Super helpful figuring out and processing your insurance, etc. as well. Super nice staff! read more

My favorite dentist of all time and I have seen a few in my short years. I had my wisdom teeth pulled a few months ago and the healing process is taking its sweet time, the doctor checked up on me numerous times and I could not be happier with his service. read more

Isaac Lin, DDS - Dr Lin`s office - General Dentistry Near Me - San Jose, California

Oh it gets better!!!! I got a bill for 450 for missing an appointment, which i had no control... funny... when the doc needed, we did had to accommodate our agendas... now i know they care more about the "business" than patients. Business 101 Debbie... you need customers to run a business. read more

Got a filling with no issues. Dr. Lin was very engaging and explained everything about the procedure while it was happening. I had to get a shot to numb my mouth and Dr. Lin performed it quickly and pain free. Also the hygienist did a great job fixing my permanent retainer. read more

Best dentist around! He listen takes time and gives you many options vs other dentists who just tell you what to do! Our whole family goes and loves him! My 4 year old son loves going to him but hated the one before and they were a actual kids dentist read more

WOW! Just, WOW. I've never had such a positive experience at the dentist's office. From the moment I walked through the door - scratch that - from the moment I called to see if they were taking new patients, I felt welcomed and put at ease. The staff here are all "people persons." Everyone was great, and Dr. Lin was amazing! After my initial cleaning with the hygienist, he spent a great deal of time with me in a separate area (even ran over into the beginning of his lunch) talking about my overall dental health picture, my goals, and a plan to get there. His office has some really cool, new, "state of the art" toys that make the usual dental unpleasantries (x-rays, anyone?) a snap. If I could give this office 10 stars, I would. Thanks Dr. Lin and company!!! read more

There are levels to everything! and specially being a dentist. My upper teeth was in terrible condition and was falling apart. I wasn't able to chew and can only use my right side. didn't think it could be saved but somehow dr. Issac managed to make it work and he saved my tooth. also has an amazing crew around him. I had an awesome experience Laying down on the dental chair which is not something I thought was possible. As he walked me through every step of the process I realized this was no ordinary dentist. this is some top level stuff. Dr. Isaac is very talented and knows his craft very well and felt lucky to find this place. I wrote this review about 4 months after My last visit. It has been a fantastic experience and I know I will definitely be coming back again. read more

I would *highly* recommend Dr. Lin. He was recommended to me last year, and I am so grateful that I followed up on the recommendation. This is literally the first time in my life that I don't dread going to the dentist, and it's because of Dr. Lin, and the fact that he is so knowledgeable, articulate, personable, interesting, and caring. Most dentists that I've been to are more concerned about time efficiency than their patient's comfort level, but Dr. Lin really goes out of his way to make sure that his patients are feeling good. He takes the time to explain what is going on, and it quickly becomes clear that he truly has his patient's best interests at heart, and knows exactly what he's doing. I had to have a really bad cavity filled, and have a baby tooth (which had apparently been determined to stay with me through my twenties) extracted, and although I walked into each appointment dreading what was about to happen, I left each thinking "Wow, that really wasn't bad at all". He uses different techniques to minimize the discomfort his patients feel, and they're really effective! I have a very low pain tolerance, and needles give me nightmares, so needless to say, right before a shot I'm not a happy camper, but Dr. Lin really does an amazing job! They make sure to apply plenty of the numbing gel beforehand, give it plenty of time to take effect, and are willing to apply more if I even hint that I'm anxious. (They also have nitrous available I believe.) When giving the shot, he wiggles the lip at the same time so that you don't feel it as much, and for wimps like me, he'll give a tiny portion of the shot so quickly that there's barely any discomfort, and then wait for that to take effect before giving the rest of the shot, which you then don't even feel. The difference between my experiences with him, and my experiences with every other dentist I've ever been to is drastic. I've never had any other dentist go to so much trouble to make sure that I have a positive experience. When all was said and done, he even came out himself to meet my fiance and our son, and let my son pick out a couple of toys from their toy box, which my son was of course ecstatic about, (he's three). Definitely made a big impression on me, and I can't say enough good things about him (as well as the rest of the staff) :) read more

Dr. Lin is the best dentist ever. Seriously. He's been taking care of my teeth for... decades? He works with his patients and listens to concerns. I had a broken front tooth for years. He repaired it for me at least 10 years ago, but it is impossible to see the repair - it just looks like a natural tooth. He is gentle, considerate, and is constantly studying up on the latest technologies. When I needed a crown we discussed the various options - cost, durability, my allergy to nickel - and together decided what material would be used. If you need a dentist, (and, let's be serious here, everyone does) you will not find better. read more

Thanks to this man I'm no longer afraid of the Dentist! Where to start? I have not been for a check-up in about 3 year,. so I knew looking for a new DDS was going to be a task. However, thanks to Issac and crew I now feel like I'm well taken care of. They took care of my cavity, and went step by step. Not just drill away and not a peep on what is going on. Check up, x-rays, and cleaning also done. Issac was able to get my 2 year old on the chair for a quick look, and now she LOVES visiting the dentist. Worked and suggested what I should work on first with my annual dental plan. Highly Suggested! read more

I can not recommend them enough! If I could give them 10 stars I would! I am a grown ass woman, but a huge wimp when it comes to the dentist. I no longer fear the dentist cause Rachelle (hygienist) and Dr Lin go above and beyond to make me comfortable and explain what they're doing. Whether it be a routine clean or a root canal replacement, I've always had a pleasant experience. They're also amazing with kids! Took my 3 yr old today (who can't stay still to save his life), and he sat through the whole cleaning and xrays like a champ, giggling and smiling! read more

Was referred to this place by a friend of mine at work. The best dentist I've ever worked with. Very tentative, knowledgable and great listener! read more

Dr Lin has been my dentist for over 10 years now. He is so very kind to me, because I believe I am his worst patient ever. I have teeth of chalk and have been tortured by dentists all my life. I am a grown woman, but it is not uncommon for me to cry in the dentist's chair from fear. However, he really has helped me a lot and I have been seeing him twice a year like clockwork. My hygienist, Sue, is also superb. read more

Best dentist I've ever had. He's been my dentist for the past 6 years & I have never had a problem with him. I moved to the City for a little over a year and would drive the 50 miles to go to him. I moved to Austin & would plan my visits during the holidays/whatever to visit him. I referred my wife to him & she loves him. read more

Dr. Lin is the best dentist I've ever had. He is meticulous about his work, he explains everything in detail, he is friendly, and he truly cares about his patients. Not just me, but from the way I've seen his interact with his patients. If you are in the South Bay and need a dentist, give Isaac a try. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Lin's now for over a year. Dr. Lin and his staff are great. Dr. Lin takes the time to address my dental needs and concerns in a very personable and positive way. He listens to and answers all of my questions and he is very upbeat. The hygienists are also very professional and personable. Dr. Lin and his team are awesome. read more

I like Dr. Lin. My parents go to him and we may have our small kids start going to him too. Dr. Lin is thorough and seems to like his job. He explains what he is doing every step of the way and is easy to talk to about anything. I asked him about different type of dental insurance and dental organizations. This is a big change from my old dentist who poked at my teeth for about 45 seconds after the hygentist did her work, patted me on the back, and said see you next time. read more

I've been to quiet a few dentist over the years and Dr Lins office is my favorite. I feel so comfortable here, and I trust them so much, that I also bring my son here now. Dr. Issac Lin really knows how to many you feel comfortable and spends his time with you, as well as his hygienist and let's not forget the receptionist! I normally deal with Debbie and she's always a sweetheart. Everyone at this office is great. They have updated technology as well, and my 6 year old son loves going to the dentist now -- even after Dr Lin filled in a cavity for him! read more

I found Dr Isaac Lin on Yelp its only fair I return the favor. Love coming here! Great service, great staff, and clean facility. Its conveniently located off of 880 and close to Valley Fair Mall. I've been coming here for two years now. Even my daughter likes seeing the dentist now thanks to Dr Isaac! read more
