Wei-Ann Lin, MD

Dr. Lin has been my PCP for several years, so I’ve seen her for just about everything. I generally like her as a doctor, and she’s flexible in her approach depending on the condition you’re there for. At times, she’s recommended natural treatments (e.g. vitamins and dietary supplements when appropriate). However, when I need antibiotics or heavy duty meds, she doesn’t hesitate to prescribe those either, and appears to be very up to date in her drug knowledge. She has also been very good about making referrals when necessary, which is important to me because I’ve had back surgery and need to see a specialist ever so often for checkups.
Another plus for women is that she is also an OBGYN, so she can do your annual pelvic exam etc.
The only real downside is that it can be hard to get in to see her on short notice. Sometimes you just can’t wait to get in to see your doctor. I’ve found myself visiting the walk-​in clinic more than once because I couldn’t get in to see Dr. Lin for a sinus infection or some other minor but urgent problem.
In the past, she hasn’t been willing to call in scripts for antibiotics or other meds that require a diagnosis, but she has called them in for refills for things like acne meds etc. without making me come in for a doctor’s visit.
