The reviews listed below were collected independently of ORTHOWEST through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. Ki Lin graduated from Stanford University in 1991 with a BA in Human Biology. He then moved to Houston where he earned his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in 1996. Next, he completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the New England Medical Center in Boston in 2001. He then stayed in Boston to complete a spine surgery fellowship at the New England Baptist Hospital in 2002.
Dr. Lin began his private practice career in Austell and Douglasville, GA, before moving to Albany, GA in 2008, where he has developed a thriving practice with many loyal patients. He now returns to the Carrollton area to be closer to family.
Although trained as a surgeon, Dr. Lin is a strong advocate of conservative treatment for neck and back pain. He advises surgery only when necessary, or as a last resort. If surgery does become necessary, Dr. Lin is well versed in the latest techniques in spinal surgery including kyphoplasty (cement treatment for vertebral fractures), disc replacement surgery, and minimally invasive techniques for spine surgery. In addition, for those patients who have already had prior surgery, Dr. Lin is experienced in revision surgeries where necessary, as well as spinal cord stimulation for treatment of chronic low back and/or leg pain for patients in which spine surgery is no longer an option.
Dr. Lin and his wife Tishawna, who is from Atlanta, have 5 children and reside in Carrollton.

Very helpful and great listener
Nice doctor. Listened to all my questions and answered them all. Didn't feel rushed at all. Office staff are nice as well.
I highly recommend Dr Lin.
Took time with me and LISTENED!
Very good Dr. Professional, Knowledgeable! Frist visit Excellent!!!
Listens to you. Very professional.Very
He came in and sat down on the stool with his iPad. He went over results and never once got up to examine me and where exactly I'm experiencing pain. That isn't cool with me. He could easily have someone come in with him and do all iPad things. My primary Dr does this and saves so much time so she's able to touch me and examine. I was very unhappy about that.
He was very caring
Great doctor don’t want to use anybody else
Dr. Lin always takes time to explain findings and treatment plans very clearly. I always feel great about my visit with Dr Lin. Highly recommend Dr Lin.
