Overview

I help patients with acquired heart diseases, such as coronary artery blockages and heart valve problems. I use surgical procedures when necessary. Each patient is special in his or her own way, and I will work with the cardiologists to provide the best care possible in each situation. In particular, I am happy to discuss the possibility of providing patients with less-invasive ways of undergoing heart bypass surgery (for example, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft) whenever appropriate. I have been in North Carolina for more than 25 years, and I received all of my medical and surgical training at Duke.

Dr. Lin is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction. His top areas of expertise are Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis, Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction, Heart Bypass Surgery, and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).
