Dr.Lin is exceptional. He's professional, so thorough, and has always put me at ease. He shares all the new information on my Retinal Pucker and explains it so I can understand it. If I ever have to have surgery on my eyes, I have no fear at all with him. I trust him completely. He's also so nice and personable and easy to talk to. I enjoy seeing him.I just wish he could be my regular doctor for everything else too! His assistants keep things moving and are very organized.

One of the best experiences at a doctor's office I have had in a long time! Martha C. Henao was kind, caring, took the time to sit with me to chat and go over in detail her recommendations.. I actually hugged her when I left! The office staff was efficient and super helpful... You're in good hands with this team and I highly recommend :)

This rating gives my husband's name as the patient, but it's me, Peg Gallo, that's the patient. My recommendation is much higher than a 5 star. Dr. Steven Lin is very professional and knowledgeable. His demeanor is polite, courteous and he has a good sense of humor. My Very Best Regards to him and his staff.

Admittedly, I was very worried about getting specialized eye care after a referral from my regular eye doctor. This is my second visit to Desert Retina Consultants (The Retina Institute) and I feel perfectly comfortable with the service, experience, and care I received. Dr. Henoa was very clear in setting up my expectations and delivered the plan exactly as she said she would. We are continuing the treatment, and I am confident all will go well.
