Dr. Tomlinson graduated from Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1971.

Dr. Tomlinson completed her residencies in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Riverside Methodist Hospital, St. Ann's Hospital for Women in Ohio, and National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, D.C. Dr. Tomlinson (Dr. T) was in private practice specializing in Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1976 to 2020, in Alexandria, Virginia. She was affiliated with INOVA Alexandria Hospital and was the second woman to serve as Chief of Staff during her tenure. She was very well-known in the area and initially one of a few female physicians specializing in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
With an extensive list of patients and babies she delivered, Dr. T, as she was affectionately known, was loved by her patients and respected by her colleagues. She always enjoyed the time she spent with each patient and was known for the personalized attention each patient received. Dr. T loved her work and was proud that as a solo physician, she delivered almost every mother and baby in her care. Dr. Tomlinson will be remembered for her passion to provide excellent holistic care to those that chose her as their physician, her great sense of humor and her second love - interior design. She was unique in many ways and will be missed by the many patients that loved her.
