From the Provider
“Becoming a parent has helped me connect with my patients on a different level. I have a deeper appreciation of how the stories of each person’s life and their values shape their choices. My goal is to be a resource and a guide for whatever my patients are experiencing and their decision making process. Helping them navigate their health and wellbeing over time is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.”
About the Provider
Dr. Lin’s goal in working with her patients is to validate what they’re experiencing physically, as well as what they’re going through emotionally. In addition to understanding and empathy, she seeks to bring a clear, common sense medical perspective to help each person weigh their options and determine their own best path forward. Her areas of focus and expertise include emotional wellness, family planning and support, trauma informed care, vulvar health and minimally invasive surgery. She is also a North American Menopause Society Certified Menopause Practitioner.
Dr. Lin and her husband have three children. In her spare time, she volunteers at school and enjoys baking, knitting, crocheting and reading. She played rugby for eight years during college and medical school. These days, Dr. Lin enjoys being outside and active—but looks forward to playing rugby again someday!
