Dr. Kirsten Lin, MD

Dr. Kirsten Lin was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area and currently lives in the North Hills with her family. She graduated from Penn State University with a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, as well as a minor in Human Development and Family Studies.

She went on to receive her M.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and then completed her internship and residency in Family Medicine at UPMC St. Margaret Hospital.

Dr. Lin previously practiced medicine in Western PA for 12 years as an employee of large health systems, where she did not feel able to provide the best possible care for her patients.

As a result, in October 2017, Dr. Lin opened Family Matters Direct Primary Care (Family Matters DPC) in Hampton Township, where she provides affordable, personalized healthcare without all the red tape.

Dr. Lin is also a regional lecturer and has been featured on various radio programs, educating healthcare workers as well as the general public about Direct Primary Care services and care options.

Fertility Awareness

Dr. Lin provides training for individuals and couples in Fertility Awareness methods to achieve or postpone pregnancy. She primarily utilizes the Marquette Method which relies on charting of home urine hormone testing as well as physiologic signs to predict times of fertility and infertility each month.

When women better understand their physiology, they are empowered to make choices about their bodies in an organic, chemical-free manner*. Studies show that this method, when used correctly, is effective in helping couples with their family planning goals.

Dr. Lin’s fertility awareness patients pay $68/mo for one year, which is the time it generally takes for women to gain a thorough understanding of their monthly cycles.

After that point, phone calls or emails are priced a la carte based on time.Dr. Lin understands that there are medical indications for the use of pharmaceutical products related to fertility, and she is happy to support women in that capacity as well.
