Dr. James M. Lin, MD, Monterey Hand & Orthopedics Expert

I feel that he didn’t care for my injury just cared for the company my left hand still goes numb and he didn’t even get an MRI to look at my ligaments or nerves inside my fingers

There is nothing adverse to say about Dr. Lin, MSJ, or my experience. I would go as far to say any person who reports negative or adverse comments, most likely brought that with them. If you require orthopedic care, you can trust all aspects of your care to Dr. Lin and MSJ.

Dr. Lin is fantastic! He listened, gave clear advice and recommendations for treatment and then did a great job on my minor hand surgery in his office. All while sharing his classical music in the background. Thanks Dr. Lin!

Doctor Lin is great. Compassionate and caring. Listens and has helpful advice. Staff is friendly and attentive.

Dr. James Lin was quite good with his analysis and treatment of my joint pain in my finger. He did not push for surgery, but gave me a cortizone shot to relieve the pain I was experiencing.

Finally a doctor who knows! He doesn't guess and is VERY realistic in his analysis. Very personable and cares about his patients.

Dr. Lin is a very good doctor. He has helped me with my hand for years. I would Recommend him to my family and friends.

Dr Lin is a great physician. He’s worked on my Lupus ridden hands for years always with great results. I recommend without reservation.

Little waiting time to see doctor. Diagnosed my problem right away and provided immediate treatment.

Dr. Lin provides the best experience possible for dealing with issues of the hands. He has a calm, friendly, conversational manner that explains the issues, options, and potential outcomes in a clear, understandable way allowing patients to knowledgeably choose the approach they would like to pursue. We were completely comfortable with his handling of our son’s non-surgical healing attempts and the eventual surgery needed to repair his finger. James Lin has my highest recommendation.

He is very kind and skilled! I was so relaxed during the procedure. I highly recommend him.

I would give negative stars if I could. Dr. Lin is extremely submissive of symptoms. Kept cutting me off, stating that “he doubts that is the problem”. I tried telling him a piece of information and he cut me off telling me to tell his nurse. He acted as though he had somewhere better to be the entire time. I love Monterey Spine and Joint in general, but Dr. Lin is the rudest doctor I’ve ever met.

Dr. Lin is a skilled and friendly medical expert. He took the time to walk us through my teen's finger fracture, patiently allowed us to ask many questions, and made sure she understood the injury and how to heal. His staff is helpful and prompt. Several people recommended Dr. Lin and I can see why.

My visit was pleasant. Dr. Lin performed the process on my hand with professionalism and expertise.

I have had several fingers that developed into "trigger fingers. " Dr. Lin has helped me with two of them. He is the BEST! I have recommended him to anyone who tells me they have "hand issues. " Dr. Lin is very efficient in his treatments.

Saw Dr. Linn the other day for a follow-up to my visit from several years. As always, he is professional and informative. I would recommend Dr. Linn to anyone needing a hand specialist.

He is professional, good at his job, very helpful, willing to share educational data when asking about a procedure. He has a great personality. He gave me the use of my hands when he did a double Carpal tunnel procedure last year. He has been also fixing my Trigger finger issues.
