Consultation hours


Recently, I have been unable to find the schedule for Dr.
Lin's appointments.
Could you please confirm if Dr.
Lin is currently not seeing patients? Is he still seeing patients at Xinying Hospital on Tuesday afternoons?

Dr. Lin Shuilong reply Surgery


Hello, the director will likely be seeing patients this Thursday, May 29.
You can call 2200055-2110 on Thursday morning to confirm before coming to the hospital, to avoid making a trip for nothing.
Additionally, due to SARS and the risk of cross-infection between hospitals, the outpatient services at the director's Xinying Hospital are temporarily suspended.

More Info


To determine whether Dr. Lin is still seeing patients and to check his surgery schedule, it is essential to contact the clinic or hospital directly where he practices. Medical professionals often have varying schedules, and their availability can change based on numerous factors, including personal commitments, hospital policies, or changes in their practice.

If you are unable to find Dr. Lin's schedule online, here are some steps you can take:
1. Contact the Clinic or Hospital: Call the front desk or patient services department of the facility where Dr. Lin works. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding his availability and any changes to his schedule.

2. Check Online Patient Portals: Many hospitals and clinics have online patient portals where you can view your doctor's schedule, make appointments, and sometimes even send messages directly to the physician's office. If your healthcare provider has such a portal, it may be worth checking there.

3. Ask About Coverage: If Dr. Lin is unavailable, inquire if there are other physicians in the practice who can see you. Sometimes, doctors take time off or have their schedules altered, but other qualified professionals can assist in their absence.

4. Follow-Up Appointments: If you have an ongoing treatment or condition that requires regular follow-up, ensure that you communicate your needs clearly when you contact the office. They may prioritize scheduling for patients with ongoing care needs.

5. Social Media or Professional Networks: Some doctors maintain a professional presence on social media or professional networking sites. If Dr. Lin has such a presence, you might find updates regarding his practice schedule or announcements about his availability.

6. Consider Alternative Options: If you are unable to see Dr. Lin in a timely manner, consider seeking care from another qualified physician who specializes in the same area. This can ensure that you receive the necessary care without significant delays.

In summary, the best approach to find out if Dr. Lin is still seeing patients and to check his surgery schedule is to reach out directly to his office. They will have the most accurate information regarding his current practice status and availability. If you are facing difficulties, don't hesitate to explore other healthcare providers who can assist you in your medical needs.
