John C. Lin, M.D.

Dr. Lin has a well-rounded background. He graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in psychobiology in 1989. After working in entertainment business management with a Beverly Hills financial firm and founding a computer consulting business, he pursued a career in medicine at Saint Louis University School of Medicine where he graduated with a Distinction in Research. He completed a six-year urologic surgery training program in 2003 and initially practiced in Lake Havasu City, relocating there with his wife and their yellow Labrador retriever.

A very organized, personable, and forward-thinking physician-leader, Dr. Lin has been a urologic Practice Management speaker for the American Urological Association and was nominated as Physician of the Year in Lake Havasu City in 2004. His interest in health information technology has led him to serve as an adviser to Google Health. He has consulted for large urology groups on practice and Electronic Health Record (EHR) optimization. Dr. Lin served on the American Urological Association advisory board (Health Information Technology workgroup) on evaluation, adoption, and utilization of electronic health records and telemedicine. He was an invited speaker by Arizona Health-e Connections and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center on EHR implementation. Click here to read an article by Dr. Lin on EHR selection. He has been quoted in publications such as Medical Economics, Decision Health’s former Urology Coder’s Pink Sheet, and in Health Data Management.
