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.

Rude and arrogant. Saw him in Eagan years ago. Never went back.

Great Doctor
Dr. Donlinger has been my primary physican for many years 15 plus at least. He is blunt so some people may not like his style. I prefer blunt and straight talk. In my experience he is not one who is quick to recommend mediation. When my blood pressure was elevated he told me I should try to lose weight before he put me on meds. I did and lost 30 pounds. No high blood pressure anymore.

Dr.Dondlinger was more concerned about what my medication would cost my private insurance that I pay hundreds of dollars for every month, then providing patient centered care or getting me the treatment I needed.The medication is commonly prescribed. I know because I work in a pharmacy. It is also recommended by the cdc. This man should not be practicing medicine or working with people . I asked this “Dr” what a life is worth and he said it depends on who you asked. Called Alina and asked for a formal apology from the doctor and they still not have called me back. My advice would be to dodge this bullet and go somewhere else.

I can't believe this person is a doctor!! And a back doctor? What a joke. He's not even human. Both my husband and I went to see him and he treated us like we were a joke. He called my husband fat and basically just blew off any of our concerns. He was cold and rude. What a waste of time! As a patient, we should feel comfortable to ask questions and state any of our concerns, but that was not the feeling we had. We were uncomfortable and in disbelief that this person was considered a doctor!!

I first became a patient of Dr. Dondlinger in 1993. He excellently managed my medical care (which is what a good family practice physician does) during a very difficult time in my life. I came to trust him implicitly. He has always been honest with me, even if it was something he knew I would not want to hear. Dr. Dondlinger is intelligent, knowledgeable and a brilliant diagnostician. Most importantly, he always takes time to listen. Put simply….Dr. Dondlinger is the best.

He hardly looked at me and a lot of akward silence. Felt like I was wasting his time. Myself and my children will NEVER see him again. Have never felt so poorly treated by a doctor.
