Biography

Dr. Lin is a clinician in private practice in Irvine, California. He received his Doctorate in Chiropractic and Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS), as well as BA in Psychology from Cornell University. 

He began studying Tai Chi and Qigong in 2006, training with Master Yong-Tsai Chu at SCUHS, and Coach Matthew Wong in Irvine, California. He is the instructor for Qigong programs at City of Hope Orange County.

His clinical interests include Tuina and other manual therapy, and injury rehabilitation for the general population. He has been a supervising clinician in SCUHS' Community Based Clinical Education Program since 2019. He is grateful for the opportunity to interact with students because it forces him to reflect on and refine both his clinical skills and teaching methodology. He hopes his enthusiasm for exploring the interplay of science and art in medicine is contagious.
