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.

An Excellent Physician
The staff are wonderful! Scheduling is easy, and Dr. Lindner is an excellent Physician. He takes the time to explain things and does not rush the patient into surgery. After some time I chose to have surgery on my shoulder and Dr. Lindner did an excellent job. Now, two years later, my other shoulder has been injured, and I will be seeing him again next week. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Dr Lindner performed surgery on my knee six months ago and I’m still not walking. Please please check out your dr before you get on the operating table.

Dr. Linder is very professional, thorough and knowledgeable. Instead of jumping right on the surgery bandwagon for carpal tunnel syndrome, which I have, Dr. Lindner deferred surgery until my "more pressing health issues" with unknown causes were addressed. Furthermore, his skill with injections is commendable! Very skilled. Now, I am finally able to move forward with surgery and know I am in capable hands.

I was very impressed with the Dr. He gave me a shot in my shoulder and I was expecting the worse as far as pain. It wasn't that bad and he was very patient with my fears. He is a very thorough Dr. And I would highly reccomend him and his wonderful staff!! It was a wonderful experience.

I had missed 3 years of high school football due to a dislocated shoulder. And I really wanted to play my senior year and he made it possible. I love his work and I would definitely let people know about his awesome work
