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.

Arrogant and snobbish. Patients certainly don’t come first.

After reading the many consistent negative reviews regarding Dr. Lynch as being rude, condescending and terrible bedside manner? I'm going to have to concur. Listen I didnt ask for anything I've been through and I certainly do not deserve to be treated nasty. I happen to have very good insurance and also pay my copayments and I'm trying here. The only staff member that has treated me good and with patience and dignity through this whole almost 1 year event is Dr. Piper. I apologize I didnt call you Dr. I've never meant any disrespect. I've have been through a whole lot and happen to be a very nice and tolerant mild woman. Dont ever treat me like that again. You have no clue what I've been through physically and mentally. Be nice! Yes you are right some people have to endure pain to get better! I think I put my time in in the pain department. I've been through alot more than my charts show. I laid home and took alot more than you all know so i wasnt a bother or burden.

Dr. Lynch is rude, arrogant and incompetent. Totally waste of time and money. She acted like I was wasting her time. I was appalled at her behavior. Offered no help or solutions and was condescending for just asking basic questions. Get over yourself!

Dr. Lynch seemed very irritated with me from the start of the appointment. Wasn’t interested in hearing what I had to say and questioned my mental health. She made me feel like my pain was all in my head and I was wasting her time. She questioned my primary care provider who referred me. I was humiliated by the end of the appointment. Worst bedside manner I have ever experienced.

I’ve seen Dr. Lynch twice now under two different circumstances, she has an incredibly condescending and rude bedside manner. Didn’t provide me with any useful information.

Instead of examining me, and attempting to assist me with my neck and shoulder pain, Dr Lynch asked me about my finances? She seemed more concerned about how I was going to live- financially then how to help me. Very disappointed!

One track solution to helping me with my injury. If you opt not to have epidural injections, thats the end of the road with her help and agreeability. Not open to discussing other options she has not medically recommended. Poor bedside manner
