Philosophy of Care:
My practice is centered on respect with the goal of restoring function and improving quality of life. I strive to make sure that every patient feels heard and supported. Every patient should have their own personal goals, concerns, and experiences addressed at every visit. My goal is to listen carefully and explain clearly, while working to develop treatment plans that are tailored to each patient's individual needs. I believe strongly in honest communication, compassionate care, and a commitment to excellence.
Dr. Lin is an expert in the management of all upper extremity conditions, including those affecting the finger/hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. As a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, his practice also includes general orthopaedic conditions and injuries affecting the spine, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. He is the author of numerous publications in the medical literature and has written on topics including cartilage regeneration, bone fracture healing, nerve injury, and joint replacement. He has given numerous lectures and presentations to other orthopaedic surgeons throughout the country.
