Favorite doctor I've had so far in general. Very matter of fact with educational explanations provided and also went the extra mile to help when I was learning to navigate the medical system in the midst of a bit of a crisis. To top it off, I've had other people remark with amazement about how small and flat my scars from the surgery he performed are. 11/10.

Dr. Linder is nothing but AMAZING! He always calms my anxiety by taking the time to answer any and all of my questions, in regards to my condition. Dr. Linder is a very patient and kind person who brings a sense of positivity and reassurance to each of my appointments. I am so lucky and blessed to have Dr. Linder as my physician!

Dr. Linder is literally the only one in 5 yrs and 6 practices that offered any sympathy for my condition or better options to alleviate my symptoms of this horrible, incurable disease.

Dr. Linder is fantastic. He is the only provider I've seen in the UR system that I feel doesn't rush me, listens to me, and makes sure I feel good about everything when I leave. He is by far my favorite physician.
