Get to know Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Cady L. Linn, who serves patients in Fishers, Indiana.

As a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Linn is trained in normal and high-risk obstetrics, obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound, general and operative gynecology, as well as infertility. She has a special interest in minimally invasive surgical procedures including robotic assisted surgery.

Since 2009, she has been with Community Physician Network in Indianapolis, Indiana.  She sees patients at the Women’s Center at Community North Hospital as well as at the Community Health Pavilion Saxony.  Community Health Network offers complete coordination of care with easy access to services such as urgent care, cardiac testing, dermatology, endocrinology, family medicine, imaging, lab, ob/gyn, pediatrics, physical therapy and rehab, and more. There, Dr. Linn is affiliated with the OB/GYN Care area.

A graduate of the Indiana University School of Medicine in 2005, Dr. Linn completed an internship and a four-year residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. She then became board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States and Canada. Additionally, she earned fellowship status with the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period) and gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system – vagina, uterus, ovaries, and breasts). An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health. Dr. Linn feels it is important for women to understand the dynamics of their own health and bodies in order to achieve optimal well-being and make informed choices throughout the various stages of their lives. Because every woman is unique and has different needs, she strives to develop close relationships with her patients to care for them and their families individually. 

Dr. Linn is passionate about teaching our upcoming doctors and serves as a mentor to many medical students each school year while they spend their OB/Gyn rotation with her.  She is a clinical instructor for Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine.  In her spare time, Dr. Linn enjoys spending time with her family and friends, as well as sewing and knitting, hiking, skiing, and beekeeping. She is a mother of two that are actively involved with Tae Kwon Do and the Indianapolis Colts Jr Cheerleading program.
