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.

Open right inguinalal hernia repair
The procedure was very thorough. He had a CT scan before surgery to identify the problem. Dr Lynn then repaired the hernia. He then did follow up 2 weeks later. I guess what impressed me the most was the lack of pain. I remember my father and grandfather having this same procedure done. They were both in pain for a couple of weeks. .

A Positive Medical Experience
I was referred to Dr. Lynn for a consultation on possible hernia surgery. The scheduling went well. It was arranged quickly, which I appreciated. The scheduling staff, and the check-in staff and procedure, was efficient with friendly, professional staff. The nurse and the physician assistant who first met with me were attentive, friendly, and courteous. That helped me relax. Dr. Lynn was friendly and efficient. It was obvious that he was knowledgeable, and willing to share his knowledge in an easily understood way. Dr. Lynn spent time with me to gather information on my condition, and explained his observations and then possible alternative actions that I could take and that he could take if needed. It was a pleasant experience, and I left feeling that I had found an excellent doctor to rely on when needed.

I have had a procedure and an operation with Dr. Lynn in the last month. Both experiences were better than I ever expected. Dr. Lynn explained everything in easy to understand terms. He simply laid out my recovery plan. His professionalism is second to none. All of his services were very prompt and right on schedule. My waiting time was very minimal. We are very lucky to have such a surgeon in our little community. I will always recommend Dr. Lynn when ever I can. I am certain Dr. Lynn will involved in my health care in the future. I am happy to hear that we not only have Dr. Lynn, but his great little family in our midst as well!!!

Talked to Dr. Lynn about having another inguinal surgery after already having two and being 75 years old. He was very good at answering questions and explaining the pros and cons and the type of procedure he would use. Was very personable and open to questions and said he was readily available in the event of emergency surgery, planned surgery or simply to answer more questions or to help me get a second opinion.

Dr. Lynn performed my hernia surgery and I couldn't have been more pleased. From my first appointment to my follow up after the surgery, he explained things and shared with me how it would go and what I could expect. Very easy to talk to and answered all of my questions.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Lynn. He recently performed surgery on my abdomen. He kept me informed and set expectations that were completely met. I trust him and hope to never again need his services; but if I do, I will be calling Dr. Lynn.

Had a surgery for a right Inguinal Hernia, indirect, last October. Dr. Lynn did a fantastic job of answering and being patient with the many questions I've had, before and after. Surgery was a complete success. I'm not generally a fan of getting surgery (who is?), but if the need arises, Dr. Lynn is definitely the man to talk to!

I take an involved approach in health care and interviewed several surgeons before I met with Doctor Lynn. I was immediately impressed, not only did he have the technical proficiency and experience I was looking for, but he gave me the feeling of genuine care & concern. He easily answered my questions and discussed the options available to me in depth. The day of my surgery he took the time pre-procedure to check in and explain what to expect. My surgery when flawlessly, Thank you Dave
