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.

Dr. Linkus is the best. He used unique procedures in a less than perfect facility to save my life. Thank you, Dr. Lunkus.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Linkus?
Dr Linkus operated on me in January of 2015 in an emergency situation. I was flown by life flight from Eagle Lake with a severe Aortic Disection. Dr. Linkus saved my life, I believe if he was not the Dr. that operated on me that I would not be alive today. I am now back to work after being off for a year and I am enjoying the rest of my life. What Dr. Linkus did for my family cannot be repaid. All I can say is Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Christopher Reed
