Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My experience with Dr. Bruce Lingern didn't meet my expectations. His unfavorable demeanor was noticeable, and the hurried pace of the appointment impeded effective communication. Regrettably, there was a lack of genuine interest in my concerns, and the overall inattentiveness left me dissatisfied with the quality of care provided.

The most heartless dr I have ever met. His ego is bigger than anything I have ever experienced! I guess he forgot why he became a doctor . I wish there was an option for minus stars, I would give him that! He should be ashamed of the way he treats his patients. There are plenty of doctors who do the same right here in Chicago, I would not add to his retirement account!!!

Dr. Lindgren is an excellent physician. My 9 month old needed a circumcision done by a specialist, and I was so glad that I chose Dr. Lindgren. He is caring, patient, and makes sure you feel comfortable with what is happening. He was also very sweet to my son. I would highly recommend Dr. Lindgren.

Horrible to both my daughter and myself. Extremely arrogant and inpatient with a scared little girl. He should not work with children, especially in urology. The nurse/office staff were very understanding. We switched to a different doctor & had a totally different experience. THE WORST medical experience of my life by far! I wish I’d known how to file a complaint with the licensing board.

Horrible! Would not recommend. Had a not even 10 min visit for a consultation and it cost $586!!! Went to another Urologist and feel so much better about the information she provided and it didn't cost NO where near his over priced consultation! I called the office and ask how much a consultation cost and NO one could provide that answer. This also happened to someone else I know. Very Disappointing!!!

Dr. Lindgren has been seeing my son since he was 6 weeks old. My son is now 6 yrs old and doing really well. I honestly wouldn't trust any other pediatric urologist!

Unfortunately we had a poor experience with Dr. Lindgren. After 18 months of visits and little improvement, I asked for additional testing, etc after doing extensive research on my daughter's condition. He refused saying it was not necessary. Needless to say I went elsewhere and guess what? They did the extra testing and found another condition! After 15 months of therapy she is finally better. Looks like my experience is not the norm but I would not recommend.
