Dr Lin met me for the first time. He listened well and was thoughtful and thorough in the care he provided

Dr. Lin is a very good listener and I think is doing a good job helping get me to a much healthier state than when I first entered treatment at the Heart Failure Institute. I feel basically normal again and have learned to take more care in some activities.
