Yuezhen Lynda Lin, MD, MS

Personal Statement

I am dedicated to advocating for your child’s health and well-being, ensuring that every child receives the care and support they need to reach their full potential. My approach to medicine is centered on providing comprehensive, compassionate and individualized care to every child I have the privilege to treat.

Outside of my medical practice, I enjoy long-distance running, practicing martial arts, traveling and exploring traditional Chinese arts such as calligraphy and playing the hulusi. I also cherish spending time with my family and my beloved fur baby.

Clinical Interests

My clinical interests include a variety of endocrine disorders i.e growth, puberty, thyroid and adrenal disorders as well as type I and type II diabetes. I also have a special interest in mobile medical app development given my pre-medical career as a software engineer. Over the years, I have created numerous mobile medical apps to optimize patient care and medical education.
