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.

One of the BEST!
My husband and I have been with Dr. Lynch for over 30 years. Yes he is old school, but he is thorough, takes his time to listen, documents well, and has his staff follow up to make sure we are doing what we are suppose to be doing. The few times I was hospitalized he would even make the 5AM rounds to come see me before he went to the office. He may not be for everybody but he is sure the best doctor for us! Even though there are times we have to wait, but we know he is taking time that is needed with the patient before us, just like he takes time to answer our questions or handle our needs. And that's part of being a good doctor!

Great Doctor!

I was recommended to doctor lynch by a good friend of mine. I have been going to him for the last 6 years and has been there for me throughout my numerous health situations that I have been dealing with. He doesn’t give up when it comes to trying to find what medicine works best for you! He even visited me at the ER a few years ago when I ended up at Saint Agnes .

Great doctor
Great doctor, sometimes old school is better. Is polite, concerned, answers questions, makes me feel important to him. Hospital visits are comforting and forward looking.

Inept and Inappropriate
I saw Dr. Lynch several times over the course of several months in 2023. He is devoid of empathy, incompetent, and made several incredibly inappropriate comments. This man should not be in medicine.

A true patient advocate
Always able to get an appointment when a need arises. Dr. Lynch never make me feel rushed, even when my appointment is a work-in. His expectations are high for his employees, labs, hospitals, and himself. Feel very fortunate to have him as my physician.

Dr. Lynch cut off care to my father because he wanted his labs done prior to his physical, which is normally standard procedure. Very unprofessional. Don't go to him if you want to actually ask questions.

I've been a patient of Dr. Lynch for a few years now. He is a very experienced internist.I have had some some very good and noted Doctors in the past and Lynch rates with the best of them. My father was an internist so I kind of know what to expect in medical care. His staff is nice and friendly and he has a busy office which is indicative of his medical skill. I have no reservations in recommending Dr. Lynch to my friends and family.

Dr. Lynch is a highly competent and caring physician. He is very thorough and in contrast to other comments on this site, I've always found him approachable and cordial. His staff is also very helpful despite being very busy at his practice. I've recommended all of my family to become his patients and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Went to this Dr. for over 20 years. He is an excellent doctor and very well respected in the medical community.. I have moved out of state and have tried a number of doctors. Haven't found one to replace him yet.

Dr. Lynch has been my primary physician for 48 years. He is a terrific, dedicated doctor, who is very thorough.  He listens carefully about issues I have, is judicious about testing, and makes excellent referrals when problems go beyond his experience. Dr. Lynch has seen me through some bumps with health and life. I am grateful for his skill and personal care. His staff and Physicians Assistant are also excellent.

Do not go to this doctor. If you question anything about what he is prescribing or why he is prescribing it he becomes very indignant. I've had this guy as a physician for the past 15 years and have been frustrated the entire time. I'm actually angry with myself for staying with him as long as I have. He hates being questioned about anything. Once again do not go to this doctor. You will only be frustrated if you really care about your health.
