Dr. Paul Lin, United States
Dr. Paul C. Lin brings honesty, optimism, and empathy to every patient interaction. He enjoys both the surgical and clinical aspects of his work, but finds nothing more rewarding than helping patients find fulfillment by growing their families. Dr. Lin is very transparent. He may not always tell you what you want to hear, but you can feel reassured knowing what you are facing and that he will support you through a difficult journey. His attention to detail helps ensure that every aspect of care is addressed.
He currently serves as medical director of Seattle Reproductive Surgery Center at Seattle Reproductive Medicine, where egg retrievals and hysteroscopies are performed. He is currently president of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (sart.org) and a board member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. In these roles, he helps lead national policy and procedure development for reproductive specialists, advocates for patients, and expands access to care. He is also a member of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, Seattle Gynecologic Society, and Pacific Coast Reproductive Society.
Dr. Lin's extensive surgical background, together with board certification in obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive endocrinology and infertility, has earned recognition from colleagues and patients. He has a special interest in reproductive surgery and extensive experience in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic myomectomy; surgical treatment of endometriosis; and surgical management of uterine conditions such as endometrial polyps, intrauterine adhesions, and uterine septa. He not only performs tubal repair surgery—an increasingly rare skill in the IVF era—but is also the only fertility specialist still performing tubal reversals.
In addition to his surgical focus, he specializes in in vitro fertilization (IVF) for women with fibroids, endometriosis, and uterine abnormalities and has 19 years of experience in reproductive surgery. He is one of the few fertility specialists who also uses robotic platforms for complex procedures. Committed to providing the best surgical care for his patients, he has trained in single-site robotic techniques and laser energy for treating endometriosis.
Before becoming a founding partner of SRM in 2004, Dr. Lin taught at the Center for Fertility and Endocrinology in the University of Washington's Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. During subspecialty training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, he studied the relationship of fibroids and endometriosis to infertility, the effects of infection on IVF outcomes, the reproductive effects of uterine abnormalities, and optimal uterine evaluation for couples with infertility. He also conducted pioneering research on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), an important reproductive hormone, and completed board certification in reproductive endocrinology and infertility.
In 2002, Dr. Lin received a video award at the 58th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine for transvaginal ultrasound-guided embryo transfer. He was also recognized as Outstanding Teaching Fellow by the University of Louisville Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, received the Special Excellence in Endoscopic Procedures Award from the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, and was named Outstanding Resident Surgeon by the Society of Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgeons. He was also named a Seattle Top Doctor in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Dr. Lin grew up in Buffalo, New York. After graduating from Columbia University in New York City, he earned his medical degree at Albany Medical College, completed an obstetrics and gynecology residency at Tufts University Baystate Medical Center, and completed an REI fellowship at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
When not helping patients become parents, he spends time with his two children, Michael and Emily, and enjoys skiing, boating, cycling, and attending Seahawks football games—although his heart will always belong to the Buffalo Bills.
