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.

He's great!
First, and most importantly, he never makes me feel rushed. He's compassionate and explains everything well. He listens. I've never had to wait long for him to see me for an appointmemt; rather, if I arrive early, I've seen him earlier than scheduled. The office staff are pleasant and professional as well. I highly recommend Dr. Lininger!

The best of the best
There are not enough words to describe how amazing and skilled Dr Lininger is. Both my husband and I have seen Dr Linger while in acute pain. Dr. Lininger was able to get both of us pain free. Dr. Linger is definitely the Best of the Best!!!

Dr Lininger is a caring, compassionate, efficient, professional physician who has his skills all honed in. I went for cervical spine injection. I thought he just numbed me up prior to the injection waiting for the rest of it to be done. I was surprised that it was already over. Didn't feel a thing.I wouldn't hesitate to go back or refer friends and family.

Many years and consistently awesome care!
He takes the time to clarify how the issue effects me, when it does and what parts of my body are involved. That makes a huge difference in the results of each procedure compared to when I’ve had others do it. Equally with very few folks these days, even in medicine, do you encounter someone who consistently shows that they see you as an individual, not just the next one up. Even better the whole team there does that!
