It is not easy to find great specialists these days, but Dr. Lin is "pure platinum". I have been a patient for nearly 20 years and have been a big fan since the beginning. I currently have or have been through plantar fasciitis, neuroma foot surgery, Achilles tendinitis, lateral (outer foot) tendinitis, maybe a "tendinosis" of some area, a plantar wart and bruised sesamoids to round out the "fragile boy" portfolio. I really like the Irvine office which has a great location and good interior look and feel. Dr. Lin has a great personality while being efficient and effective in diagnosing and treating and giving you tips for home treatments. read more

Dr Lin performed surgery on two small toe to remove the bone spurs when I was 47 and now I'm 71 he also made me a special orthotics since I was at the gym 3 times a week and was hiking on the weekends. I live now in Oxnard and I don't drive to far anymore. read more

Dr Lin is the best!!! I broke my toe, and was gonna head to urgent care, but choosing Dr Lin was the wisest choice I made all week! He is experienced, funny, really good at what he does and super dedicated. He came in on his day off to operate on me, and responded to me on New Year's Day! Is that amazing or what? Hands down. He deserves 10 stars. Also look at this before n after photo. Isn't he such a skilled surgeon? Highly highly recommend! read more

Parkson J Lin, DPM - Look at the before and after on my fractured fourth toe. Stellar work! - Surgeons Near Me - Irvine, California

See all

Dr. Lin quickly got me in for an appointment and was knowledgeable and attentive. I was nervous about seeing a Dr. I looked up on line but he exceeded my expectations with his competence and warm personality. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Lin. I stepped on a stingray while surfing and had concerns about a potential issue with the barb being lodged in my foot. After looking at reviews on Yelp and with my health insurance provider, I reached out to Dr. Lin's office. To my pleasant surprise, they managed to accommodate me on the same day. I was impressed by the modern and welcoming atmosphere of the office. The receptionist was genuinely friendly, and I didn't have to wait long before being seen. It was my first visit to a podiatrist, I could tell right away that Dr. Lin was an expert in this field by the precise questions he asked, the thorough testing he performed and guidance for next steps. He's also very personable, which made the visit even more comfortable and reassuring. Hopefully I won't be back soon but if I ever have issues again, he'll be my first call. read more

Parkson is amazing!! Went to see him 15 years ago and just recently needed to go back for something else. He remembered me and provided a good solution to my current issue. Great doctor! read more

He is amazing and fantastic! I went to 2 other podiatrists before him, but he really solved my foot problem! Thank you!

Dr. Lin and his front office staff all deserve 5+stars! The location is easy to find, open parking, clean and really cute office. I thought I walked into a Beverly Hills office. Dr. Lin really took his time to listen to me and my concerns. He asked questions and really seemed to care. I had never seen a podiatrist before so I was a little nervous on what to expect but his front office (can't remember her name but sooo sweet and pretty) put me at ease. If I have to see another podiatrist I won't go anywhere else. I highly recommend Dr. Lin read more

Dr. Lin, Thank you so much for taking care of me and taking the time to answer my phone call when all others are either closed or uses a third party outside call center. It's very rare to meet someone who truly cares about what they do and how good they take care of their clients and in your field patients. Respectively Young Park read more

I really like Dr. Lin as a podiatrist! Before I chose who to see for my medical care, I do research. His credentials are very good and he's board certified. He is so down to earth. Very responsive and efficient. I was caught off guard a couple of times when he answered the phone himself! Dr. Lin does a great job of explaining things to you with options. Heidi who works in his office is very nice as well. I highly recommend Dr. Lin. He is a doctor I can really trust, and he really does care about his patients. read more

Had a great visit with Dr. Lin! It was my first time coming and he didn't make me feel rushed, was thorough, and answered all of my questions. When I told him I was hoping for PT rather than pain medication, he didn't hesitate to give me a referral. Highly recommended! read more

Dr Lin is a very caring, intelligent, thoughtful professional who is a wonderful diagnostician. He quickly assessed the injury to my left foot from a fall down the stairs and recommended treatment. I understood that an injury such as mine takes at least six weeks or longer to heal, I was walking comfortably without a boot, walker or any assistance after three weeks. I can only attribute my quick recovery to his excellent diagnosis and care. Dr Lin is very personable and easy to talk to, a pleasure! Anyone needing assistance or help with a foot or ankle injury could not find better care. I do not have adequate words to recommend him more enthusiastically. read more

Dr. Lin is fantastic. He does a really good job of explaining what's going on and is spot-on with diagnosis and treatment plans. He's also very easy to relate to and is really open to answering any questions. Totally recommend him as a go-to Podiatrist! read more

Can't say enough about Dr. Lin! He is without a doubt one of the most caring and involved doctors I've ever had. He is always going above and beyond what I expect from doctors. Extremely down to earth and just a really great person. Keep doing what you do Dr. Lin! read more

Dr. Lin is friendly, informative, and very knowledgeable. I've had past negative experiences with podiatrists so I know a good one when I see one, and Dr. Lin is great! He was really good at communicating and explaining what to expect for my surgery. You can tell he has his patients' best interest at heart. I would definitely recommend! read more

Dr Lin is the best! I saw him for what my orthopedic surgeon diagnosed as a Jones fracture. After 6 weeks of wearing a boot my doctor recommended surgery. I wanted a 2nd opinion and Dr Lin was recommended to me. I saw Dr Lin and after looking at my X-rays he said "first of all you don't have a Jones fracture. You have an avulsion fracture".He then suggested non surgical ways to heal this fracture. I have complete and total confidence in him. Soo glad I found him. You will be too! read more

I started seeing Dr. Lin several months ago, After being to many podiatrists in the past, I'm finally making progress with my foot problem. Dr. Lin is a very caring, and gives you personal attention type of doctor. He really cares about your progress and follows up personally on your care. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Lin to anyone who needs a new podiatrist. I was referred to him by my mom, whom he performed foot surgery on, successfully. read more

Dr. Parkson Lin is a wonderful podiatrist who really cares about his patients. He is very, very prompt in responding to messages and provides detailed answers to questions.

Thank you so much!! read more

Dr. Lin truly cares about his patients and will do whatever it takes to make sure that you understand what he is explaining. He will also present all options to you to help you make the best decision for yourself. Another unexpected surprise is he even answered the phone himself!! read more

Plantar fasciitis. Foot fungus covering the bottoms of both feet. These are two conditions I had when I came to Dr.Lin, and no longer had when I left his care. Amazingly proactive doctor. I had the fungal problem for 30 years and had given up asking doctors about it. They were all stumped. Dr Lin noticed it when treating me for the other problem. He orders a biopsy, something that never occurred to any previous doctor I consulted. Voila! The lab report came back with a positive for fungus that was treatable and, in my case, curable with a 30 day course of pills. What relief! I can't express how grateful I am to Dr Lin read more

I highly recommend Dr. Lin's services, he is an exceptional health care provider. I have had a lot of experience working with medical professionals as a registered dietitian, however Dr. Lin's bedside manner far exceeds his colleagues. He does a fabulous job communicating information, while maintaining patience and answering all questions related to his procedures and surgical process and no long wait times sitting in the office . He even went a step ahead of most to personally call me to follow up on recovery process and took care of the medical billing process so I didn't have to be burdened with the numerous phone calls and long wait times. I highly recommend his services and team to anyone considering having any foot related procedures completed you won't regret working with him. Thanks Dr. Lin and staff! read more

All, You need a great foot doctor check out this guy. He was very professional and gentle helping me recover from having had cactus needles impaled in my toes...ouch! Seriously, Dr. Parkson Lin was outstanding...he's my foot doctor for life. Chad read more

I contacted Dr. Parkson Lin at the recommendation of a current resident where I reside. Our apartment door sweep had severed my toe in two locations, slicing the toenail in half and fracturing a tiny yet very necessary little bone! I had immense pain for several days where an infection had started. I saw a local urgent care for treatment at first, then I felt so relieved to see an expert. Dr. Lin answered my initial call and every call since then. He answers on the first ring. I suppose I am a bit old-fashioned when it comes to my own care, and I love that this doctor fully delivers on that! Dr. Lin is top-notch in skill and he truly listens and sits at your side with eye contact and a smile to reassure you, which I value! He is also on-time every time and very thorough yet fast--I am in and out in a hurry! For Covid, he is wearing a mask over his nose and mouth (some doctors aren't even following this well!) and he leaves the door to the room where he sees you wide open. (Another highly experienced podiatrist closed the door all the way without another woman present, which is a no-no! Get a clue!) Dr. Parkson Lin made me laugh at myself for being so afraid of letting him cut my toenail (he had to remove half of the nail.) Dr. Lin promised it would not hurt and to my sheer dismay, I literally felt nothing but the gentle hands of a caring physician. Thank you, Dr. Lin! My toe is healing and returning to its pretty self! ;-) read more

Dr. Lin has treated me for ingrown toenail, and a corn on my small toe, over the last 2 or 3 years. I must say I enjoy talking over my problem with him. His is very personable. He gets the problems solved, and tells me how to avoid the problem in the future. I place a lot of trust in him . -- Bob H., 10/2018 read more

Dr. Lin is amazing! Even though my insurance did not cover going to him I decided after many consultations with other Doctors that he was the one to do my surgery with. I've suffered with Morton's Neuroma for over 3 years and was extremely limited doing everyday things. I had a terrible reaction to anesthesia during a prior procedure and had severe allergies and hives due to a reaction. Kaiser would only do the procedure under general sedation. Dr. Lin did my surgery with local and mild sedation and offered me much less down time. The team in the surgery center and the Anesthesiologist made me feel comfortable and safe as I am a nervous patient. They made sure to come visit with me before hand to make me feel at ease and checked in repeatedly before the procedure to be sure I had all I needed as far as information, directions, etc. Dr. Lin has a wonderful personality and positive attitude which I found very refreshing. I am so happy I am no longer living with that pain. He was a total blessing! I will be referring him as often as I can! read more

Dr Lin is amazing He is friendly, knowledgeable and informative! He treated my ingrown nails quick and painless. I am so happy I found Dr Lin. He is highly recommended! read more

Fantastic, personable and professional. Dr Lin knew just what to do to ease the pressure in my foot and get me feeling better immediately. On another subject, he gave me some ideas of what to use to cure my ongoing toenail lifting issue and sent me home with a product as well. I recommend him highly due to his experience and knowledge. Thank you again, Dr. Lin! read more

New patient, great professional service, He took the time to explain my problem and cause and what I can do to prevent the problem from happening again. Think I found my new podiatrist read more

Dr. Lin is fantastic! I went to him 3 years ago for a surgical procedure, and more recently for some pain as a result of distance running. Dr. Lin explains everything with the professional terms as well as explaining to his patients what those mean, so you're not sitting there listening to a bunch of big medical words. He is very personable and incredibly knowledgeable, treatment plans are conservative and effective, I'd definitely recommend Dr. Lin to anyone seeking a podiatrist. read more

I saw Dr Lin for a chronic problem I was having regarding foot pain while playing squash. The pain had gotten to a point that it was becoming unbearable. Dr Lin did his examination and came up with his diagnosis explaining everything in clear understandable terms. He prescribed some orthotics and while I was skeptical due to some past experiences using orthotics, I decided to try them. Within 2 trips to the squash court, the pain dissipated. I have been playing pain free squash ever since (almost 2 years now) always using the orthotics. Dr Lin is very personable and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has issues with their feet. read more

I saw Dr. Lin for a chronic heel problem. He was able to see me immediately and the wait in the office was less than a few minutes. I guess he does not take any HMO's and can spend the time to see fewer patients. Anyways, Dr. Lin was very attentive and listened carefully to my concerns. Although I had the heel pain for years, we were able to reduce the pain with aggressive treatments (BUT NO SURGERY!! YEAH!!). He was a provider for my insurance and his prices were fair. I would highly recommend him without hesitation to any of my friends or family. read more

I have been a continuing patient for Dr. Lin for years. I had broken my ankle and needed surgery to fix .Dr. Lin was amazing!!! Not only did he put my mind and anxiousness to rest with his easy going and down to earth personality, he fixed my ankle like brand new !! He is a great surgeon and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a foot ankle doctor!! read more

What an outstanding doctor. As others have stated, the doctor is very informed and friendly. I was put completely at ease by his fantastic personality that made me feel comfortable in asking questions. I also appreciated that the doctor didn't rush me and gave me all the time I needed to ask my questions. If I ever have more foot problems, Dr. Lin will be my first choice. read more

Excellent doctor. Took me back to exam room promptly. I had seen several other doctors. He was the only one who finally spent time with me and diagnosed my problem. He spent a long time with me and we formed a treatment plan. He talked to me and not down to me which was great. I would recommend him to anyone with a foot problem. read more
