About
Dr. Jennifer Lin grew up in a household shaped by medicine and music. Her father was a prominent ENT physician, and she trained as a classically trained pianist from an early age. Her family expected her to become a surgeon. She turned down a surgery residency to pursue family medicine instead. Her passion for complementary and alternative medicine drove that decision, as did her desire to build lasting relationships with patients.
Dr. Lin earned her Bachelor of Science Summa Cum Laude from Kent State University in 1994. She then completed her Doctorate of Medicine at Northeast Ohio Medical University in 1999. Her internship and residency in family medicine took place at the University of Wisconsin Department of Family Medicine in Madison, finishing in 2002. She holds certification from the American Board of Family Medicine. Her clinical interests span integrative medicine, nutrition, dementia prevention, and cardiovascular disease prevention. Castle Connolly recognized her as a Top Doctor each year from 2022 through 2024. She has also served as both a physician and educator throughout her career.
