Dr. Iris Lin became interested in medicine after working
on medical engineering projects during college.
In medical school, she was drawn to neurology
because of the fascinating disorders. She also enjoys
the puzzle-solving aspect of the specialty. She is
passionate about neurological movement disorders,
such as Parkinson’s disease, tremors and dystonia.
Dr. Lin believes in approaching every patient interaction
with empathy, careful listening and a focus on quality
of life. She thinks it is important to educate patients and
empower them to be active participants in their own
health journeys. She finds that inclusion of the patient’s
family in the healthcare team usually results in the best
outcomes. Dr. Lin would like to encourage all patients
to incorporate regular physical exercise to achieve a
healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Lin is originally from Alabama, but is excited to
settle in and engage the Cincinnati community. She
owns two pet guinea pigs, who are afraid of her
significant other’s two pet cats. In her free time, she
enjoys crocheting, reading scifi and fantasy books,
trying out new recipes and tending to her many
houseplants.
