Toni Lin

Orthopedic Surgeon

Dr. Toni Lin is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in conditions related to tendons, nerves,
fractures, arthritis, Dupuytren’s disease and other “lumps and bumps” of the hands and wrists.
She graduated Summa Cum Laude, and with Honors, from Purdue University. She also studied abroad at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. Dr. Lin obtained her medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine, where she was President of her class. She completed her residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan and her Fellowship in Hand Surgery at the University of Texas – Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas.


Dr. Lin’s approach to patient care is to focus on trying to do the best or right thing for each
individual patient with consideration of their personal goals, activities and needs. She was led to pursue a career as a physician after having her grandmother, a surgeon, serve as an influential role model. She loves seeing patients return to work, their favorite activities…even improved sleep…after an injury or condition has been preventing their ability to perform the way they desired.

Outside of the office, Dr. Lin enjoys hiking and traveling with her family, working out and
cooking. She and her family love the Indy sport teams and are Fever season ticket holders. She
especially enjoys supporting her children on the sidelines of their sports and interests.
