PEDIATRICIAN
Lynn Alling-Jones, DO
A proud Flint native and graduate of Flint Powers Catholic High School, Dr. Alling-Jones has come full circle—bringing her talents back to Genesee County after serving children across Michigan. She’s previously cared for families at Mott Children’s Health Center in Flint and most recently at the highly respected Mali and Mali Pediatrics in Troy.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Alling-Jones is married to her wonderful husband Brian and is the proud mom of two amazing teenagers, Caleb and Makenna. When she’s not caring for patients or her family, you can find her traveling, working in her flower gardens, walking, or biking—she brings that same vibrant energy to everything she does.
