Full Service Equine Veterinary Dentistry
Meet the Team
Dr. Talia Lin, DVM
Dr. Talia Lin grew up riding in Charlottesville, Virginia, and graduated from Tufts University with bachelor’s degrees in biology and environmental studies. She worked at the Marion DuPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, Virginia before 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 on 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 13 years in general practice in central New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania where she honed her dentistry skills through multiple continuing education and practical opportunities. She then decided to open Cardinal Equine Veterinary Dentistry to focus on her advanced dentistry practice for the southeastern Pennsylvania region. Dr. Lin loves completing complicated tooth extractions and watching her patients gain weight, perform better, and live happy.
When she bothers to pull her head out of a horse’s mouth, Dr. Lin loves spending time with her husband, three children, and her elderly red-nosed pit bull (who thinks those children are lollipops). In addition Dr. Lin loves hiking, traveling and reading.
