I was born and raised in the suburbs of Washington, DC. I moved to New York City for college and my medical training. After 12 years living in New York City, my husband and I moved to England where I completed a fellowship at Oxford University. When we moved back to the United States, we decided to move out West for a new adventure and different pace of life.
About my practice
I am a primary care doctor and health care researcher. A large part of my primary care training focuses on the doctor-patient relationship, and it remains the most meaningful part of my practice. I enjoy getting to know new patients and working with them on their health and well-being. My research focuses on evidence-based care in preventive health and primary care. I believe being a primary care doctor makes me a more thoughtful researcher, and my role as a researcher makes me a more informed doctor.
How I thrive
I practice yoga for my health, both mental and physical. My favorite activities are eating and cooking, travel, listening to music, learning about art and art history, and going to museums and art galleries. I love most spending time with my wonderful family and friends.

Dr. Lin is yet another wonderful asset to Kaiser. She was very welcoming, professional, and helped me find a solution (as well as listing options in case those would be necessary) for my issues. She is the first Dr. in a LONG time who has made me feel like my complaints were valid and didn't dismiss my concerns. I cannot tell you how relieving that is. Better yet, her recommended solutions are working, and my pain is fading!

She is the best doctor I have ever been treated by. She is so thorough, patient, reassuring, and understanding. She's the first doctor I've had as a PCP who really seems to genuinely care, remembers previous visits (or reads previous notes before appointments), and who encourages follow-up by email or phone. I never feel like I am bothering her with questions or concerns. She is so prompt and responsible in returning communications, refilling prescriptions and ordering tests. She is always confident that we and I can do better and makes me believe

I am so happy *Dr Lin is my primary care provided. She is an excellent doctor who you can tell cares about her patients. It had been a long time since I had been in to see a doctor - mostly because of a had experience I had at another facility. She put me at ease and really listened to what I had to say her suggestions for solutions were not medication focused which is another thing I appreciate about her - But experience one could hope for when going to the doctor.

When I mentioned a foot problem, Dr. Lin, noticed that a callus / corn was a problem; as she continued discussing my overall health, she gently removed the callus and offered advise on care of foot in future. It seems to have alleviated my foot pain.
