Next week we say farewell to Dr Michael Lin and his family. Dr Lin has been part of the Swift Street Medical Centre family for 7 years. We have seen him become an Australian Citzen 🇦🇺, expand his knowledge and expertise in skin surgery and most of all seen him and his wife expand their beautiful family. Dr Lin has much compassion, patience and respect for his patients and we here at Swift Street Medical Centre have had the privilege to work along side of him. Although we and the Wellington community will miss you and all your bling we wish you and your family all the best on your next adventure at the Gold Coast 🏝️
