About Cynthia Lin, MD

As we learned in school, we all have the potential to learn, to grow and to be educated. I am here to show you your potential to lead a healthy life. For everyone to have a healthy life, I encourage them to take an active role to take care of themselves. We all need to have a healthy attitude and lifestyle. That is why I view taking care of patients as a two-way street. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking gourmet but "healthy" meals. I like a variety of sports from running and skiing to biking.

I wish I could give Dr Lin a 10. I tend to put off seeking care for little aches and pains while being proactive about getting vaccinated, etc. Aging has been a challenge but I always feel she's there to help me deal with it even when clear answers aren't possible. She's truly a gift and I'm grateful to be her patient as we navigate my future.
