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.

Most friendly and profession facility! Other health places I have used I have waited up to over an hour past my appointment time to even be called back. Lincoln Surgical waved me back right on my appointment time. Dr. Aach listened to everything I needed to discuss. Physician and staff all were very friendly, prompt and professional. Highly recommend!

My experience with Dr Aach is excellent. I'm being treated for a thyroid problem and he has my complete trust. He is straightforward and caring. Dr Aach is very easy to talk to.

Dr. Aach performed my wife's gall bladder removal a few years ago. He is a skilled surgeon, and the surgery went well, but he is bed side manner is horrible. He seemed annoyed to have to operate on a patient that is overweight. He made several rude comments about it over the course of her care. A surgeon is more than just his skill, he is also a caregiver, and should act accordingly.
