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.

He, his staff and UCI are amazing! The best!

Dr. Linskey’s confidence and knowledge led us through such a tough time as my son battled metastatic melanoma. My son has reached remission under Dr. Linskey’s care. We are forever grateful to him and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Linskey is the best
Dr. Linskey managed some very difficult aspects to my trigeminal neuralgia MVD with minimal side effects. I wish I’d been able to see him for my first surgery but as far as my revision went, with a vein through the nerve plus 2 other veins which needed to be destroyed, and yet another artery, he did great.

Hope again
After a failed MVD with another surgeon, Dr. Linskey provided hope again when none was given through the person I was seeing prior. I have surgery scheduled with him and I’m confident he will give me my life back. He’s a kind and gentle soul who truly wants to help. He’s also very intelligent and trained under the best.

Shouldn't schedule so many patients for the same appointment time. We got there a half an hour early, as directed, and had to wait 2 HOURS before we were seen. His staff after the initial appointment were very helpful in arranging other services I will need in the future.
