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.

Was happy with my appointment. Dr Lin answered all our questions.
Very nice!
Dr. Lin is a great person always takes time to listen.
I waited for over 40 minutes no one came in I left. I have a sister in hospice and Down syndrome they know this I could not wait. Sorry I’ll go somewhere else
He was straight to the point and gave me my options and we decided on what plan to go with. That’s what I like.
Amazing
