Dr. Talia Lin grew up riding in Charlottesville, Virginia, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. She attended Tufts University, double majoring in biology and environmental studies. After working in the food and chemical consulting industry in Washington, DC, she decided the office life was not for her. She returned to her first love and went to work at the Marion DuPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, Virginia as a nursing assistant until attending Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine where she focused on the equine track.

After graduation, she served her internship at Durango Equine Veterinary Clinic in Buckeye, Arizona. The practice focused on theriogenology (reproduction), ambulatory medicine and rescue work. She began focusing her interest in dentistry while working with abused horses seized by the Maricopa County MASH unit.

Following her internship, Dr. Lin returned to the East Coast and spent over 7 years practicing in New Jersey where she honed her dentistry skills through multiple continuing education and practical opportunities. She is excited to bring her advanced dentistry practice which includes oral radiology, intra-oral extractions, and periodontal care to Blauner, Buchholz and Associates. Dr. Lin also brings to the practice her special interests in theriogenology, geriatric care and emergency medicine.

When she bothers to pull her head out of a horse’s mouth, Dr. Lin loves spending time with her husband, two young children and her red-nosed pit bull (who thinks those children are lollipops). In addition Dr. Lin loves hiking, traveling and reading.
