Patient Reviews
Oct 17, 2023
Dr. Linger always treated me with kindness and compassion. He made me feel like a person in an industry that often treats you like a body. I remember he held my hand and said some nice, reassuring words right before going into surgery. It makes a world of difference to have total trust in your doctor during such a scary moment in your life. He also took the time to carefully explain my injury after the MRI results and all my options to fix it. He even drew out diagrams so I could really understand what was happening and make an educated decision. I highly recommend Dr. Linger.
