Hui Lin, PA-C, PhD, started her career in ophthalmology, a field where she has dozens of publications, several patents, and participated in active clinical research. In 2020, she decided to pivot and pursue a career in her true passion, dermatology. Her medical and clinical background means that she brings unique knowledge and skills to the table that involve surgical procedures, biologics/small molecule medications, and up-to-date medical treatments.

For Lin, the rewards of dermatology come when a patient starts seeing results, whether it is getting on the right medical, having a successful surgery to remove skin cancer, or simply having a cosmetic procedure that boosts confidence. Some of her specialties include treatments for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and alopecia areata.

Excellent doctor. She quickly diagnosed the issue, unlike the other previos doctors who could not treat it. The medications she prescribed was sent immediately to the pharmacy. Before I got home, they were ready for me. The overall experience is what I like to see in doctors. She was thorough, identified and prescribed exactly what I needed. She crossed reference all my meds to make sure there won't be any issues with my other meds. I highly recommend her and her office.

The check-in online was easy. When I arrived I was seen within 3 minutes. The assistant asked a few questions and was very sweet. Hui Lin came in right after the assistant left and immediately started my examination. Very thorough and fast. I felt seen and was not rushed. Took a biopsy and explained what would happen next. I will definitely refer my friends to forefront dermatology.
