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.

For months I suffered excruciating pain with every movement. I couldn't even roll over in bed w/o crying in pain. Another local rheumatologist, who will remain nameless, did nothing but prescribe anti-inflammatories. Dr. Lindsay diagnosed me on my first visit with polymyalgia rheumatica, which was unusual for someone my age (41). After a steroid shot and starting prednisone (which is the only treatment), my condition improved dramatically & eventually it resolved completely. He treated me for 2 yrs until I moved to Huntsville, AL. I am an RN and I highly recommend him. He's a great person and excellent, caring physician.

I've seen Dr. Lindsey since 2009, after being diagnosed with a rare disease. I was so sick that no one knew whether or not I would improve. Without his support during this time, I'm not sure what may have happened. I continue to see him every 3 months, and I can always count on him to patiently listen and offer excellent advice.
