Dr. Wendy Wan-Sir Lin, MD

I was born in Taiwan, but have lived in the United States since the age of six. I grew up in Chicago and studied music history at the University of Chicago, and then stayed on there for medical school. My internship was at the University of Illinois in Chicago and then I completed my pediatric residency at the University of Iowa.

I have been fortunate to have been part of group private practice, a smaller private practice, and a university based clinic as well. We moved to Portland in 2004 in pursuit of a balanced life, and I'm thrilled to say we've found it.

My husband is a pediatric nephrologist and general pediatrician, and we have a college age son and a daughter in high school. I am based at the East Interstate pediatric clinic and also round on newborns at our affiliated hospitals.


About my practice

I feel so privileged to be invited to share in the lives of the families that I follow. I love every phase of childhood and yes, even adolescence. My hope is that I can help families …be healthy and happy by educating them about the different stages and challenges that come with being a parent.

Life is full of surprises though, and I appreciate the lessons that families teach me as well, and I will help find answers to those questions that perplex us all.How I thrive

Music and exercise is what helps me thrive. I enjoy playing the piano, play the alto sax in a big band, and love to sing. Exploring new forms of dance, and hiking with my family, dogs and good friends helps me keep everything in perspective.
