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.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr. O'Lynnger performed surgery on my 17 year old daughter after a bad ATV accident. He was decisive and communicative about what he was going to do, why it needed to be done and the ramifications of not doing it vs. going ahead and performing the surgery. He even went as far as taking special care not to shave too much of her hair as 17 year old girls are very sensitive to their appearance. We feel very blessed that Dr. O'Lynnger is under her care.

Dr. O’Lynnger saved my life
I was admitted for a tumor on my spine that was causing lower body paralysis, Dr. OLynnger was able to quickly apprise the situation and performed spinal fusion surgery on me the next day before permanent damage was done. Due to his expertise and the spinal team at Prisma health, I am now pain free and have an excellent chance to make a full recovery.

I wish I could give a "Zero" star rating - I was that unhappy and disappointed in this doctor. I found him to be very condescending and dismissive of me and my pain. Once he determined that he could not 'surgically' help me (that was absolutely not my goal or my only intent) he couldn't get me out of the room fast enough. Even when I began to cry because I am afraid I can't stand the relentless burning and pain much longer, his compassion and demeanor did not change one bit....he was ushering me out. I was very, very, very dissatisfied with him, his office and this whole experience. This is not something I take any pleasure in saying and I don't say tlightly. The whole feel and atmosphere of the office was factory-like and cold. I would recommend that you look for another Dr.

Dr. O’Lynnger, saved my daughter’s life after a traumatic brain injury 3 mo ago . He did another follow up surgery today to replace her skull cap. He was extremely kind and understanding of the family as well as the patient. I will be forever grateful to this fantastic surgeon.

I came to Dr O’Lynnger a few months ago concerning considerable pain and numbness down my leg. Up til this issue I was very active and had great quality of life. Dr O’Lynnger was amazed that I was even walking after review of my MRI. Needless to say my nerves were being crushed due to vertebrae slipping over the lower and sliding into the opening where my nerves exit the spinal column. Dr O’Lynnger took whatever time I needed to get my questions answered. We scheduled surgery and I can tell you I have my life back due to Dr O’Lynnger. I was up walking the same day, spent two nights in the hospital and have been improving daily. Dr O’Lynnger Did a great job and and I am pain free .

Thomas Michael O'Lynnger, MD is an incompitant and poor excuse for a doctor. If you've been in an accident do not go see this man. He'll blame your pain on something that happened to you back in your childhood and do nothing to correct your current condition. He boasts about how great he is which is proof he knows nothing. He doesn't care about people, only getting a paycheck. Find another doctor preferrably not one in the GHS system.
