A Midwestern transplant to the Bay Area, Dr. Angeline Lim hails from Ohio, where she graduated summa cum laude from the University of Akron and received her medical degree from the Northeast Ohio Medical University (formerly the Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy) in Rootstown, OH via the accelerated B.S./M.D. program. Selected to join Stanford University’s highly-regarded integrated plastic surgery program in Palo Alto, CA, Dr. Lim relocated to the west coast in 2002.

As a plastic surgical resident at Stanford, Dr. Lim received world-class training in all aspects of plastic surgery alongside the classmate who would become her partner in Duet, Dr. Jennifer Weintraub.

Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and Aesthetic Society, Dr. Lim continues to hone her skills in plastic surgery. She has contributed to peer-reviewed journals and has served as an invited speaker at regional and national level medical conferences. She also donates her skills and time to medical missions dedicated to repairing cleft lips and palates in children, including past trips to cities and villages in Guatemala, Mexico, and China.

When not spending time with her husband and children talking baseball, she has loved discovering the “quiet glory of aging into athleticism.” Running long and far and in between, working on flexibility and balance, and lifting heavy (for her) have helped her appreciate the many athletes that she has met and taken care of at Duet. Helping other women discover (or rediscover) the strength and power of their own bodies at all stages of life has been a gift.
