His practice focus is on conservative treatment first but, when needed, offering the latest in advanced surgical orthopedic and hand care.

Born and raised in upstate New York, he completed his undergraduate studies at Cornell University and graduated from medical school at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston followed by advanced fellowship training in Plastics Hand Surgery.
Dr. Lin is involved with the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (Fellow), the American Society for Surgery of the Hand (Subspecialty Certificate in Surgery of the Hand), and the California Orthopedic Association. He has active privileges at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (current chair, Division of Orthopedics/Podiatry), Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital, and Monterey Peninsula Surgery Center.
Dr. Lin enjoys a variety of outdoor activities and spending time with his wife and four young children.

Dr Lin promptly assessed my needs and offered the best treatments. Very efficient.
Staff was great Dr. Lin was what kind of message
Absolutely the best!!
Great patient relations, clearly an expert in his field, and thorough in his approach.
Caring, professional and direct.
Very little wait time, didn’t feel rushed, explained what he saw and next steps.
Tks for seeing me so quickly
My first appointment with Dr. Lin lasted for approximately 5 minutes. He quickly diagnosed me and mentioned 3 kinds of treatment. Dr. Lin didn't explained to me the causes of my illnesses and the details of the treatments. He didn't give me an opportunity to ask questions. Dr. Lin's assistant specified the wrong finger on physical therapy referral. I had to correct him.
took the time to clearly explain my condition and treatment options. I appreciated their thoughtful approach and that they prioritized conservative care over rushing. I felt heard and cared for .
Great doctor.
