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.

He is very good at explaining things
Dr. Lynn listens very well to your comments that you were making to him about the issue you are having . He takes the time to explain the solutions and options.
The Best orthopedic dr of anyone! He is respectful, has patience, and listens to you. I’m so happy I have found a fantastic dr that is good at what he does!! Thank you Dr Linn for taking care of me.
Listened well, and found the issue. Good doc.
I can’t say anything bad about a man that will soon operate on my back. Dr. Lin took his time with answering all my questions his Nurse Practitioner did not give me good information when I was here before when I scheduled my surgery. She didn’t tell me my 2 releases had to be returned before I could be guaranteed my surgery date. The nurse didn’t come into the room to explain it either. On a very important note the NP and I discussed surgery on L2 -3-4. Today Dr. Lin initially said just L2-3 until I told him what I had discussed with the NP.
He explained that joint was close to bone on bone! I agreed due increase in pain level of hip joint!
I think your staff should be more attentive to how long your patients are waiting past their scheduled appointment time and provide them an update without the patient going and looking for someone for this info.
Great physician. Knowledgeable, up to date on best treatments..
Great
Very caring, took his time to explain everything about the MRI results and next steps.
