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.

Straight forward trustworthy opinion
I was sent to Dr. Linn by my Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Richard Berkowitz for a lower back issue I am experiencing. Dr. Linn took X-rays and did a targeted injection in an attempt to alleviate the pain I was experiencing. He also referred me to a Physical Therapist and to my Pain Management Doctor for further treatment. I found Dr. Linn very pleasant and unlike a few physicians and therapists I've dealt with this year - not intimidating. He took the time to listen, gave clear and understandable opinions and with any luck the problem will be resolved. I wish I met him sooner because I would have preferred him as my Orthopedist and Surgeon to the two I've dealt with over the past year. Dr. Linn has very good bedside manner and I think that he cares a lot about the patients he sees - even if it's for the very first time.

Unfortunately I never got see Dr. Linn. My experience at this office was awful to say the least. I called more than a week before my appointment and gave them all my information and my insurance. I was told that everything was good and to arrive half an hour before my scheduled visit time. Three days before my appointment they called my PC requesting a second referral with more details they needed. I received 2 text messages from Orthopedic Center of South Florida which I answered confirming my appointment. The day before my appointment I called to make sure everything was in order. On my appointment day, I left work early in order to be there on time and took the requested referrals with me. Upon arrival I signed in and waited 20 minutes. Later I was called to do my check in and they told me that they were very sorry, but that Dr. Linn did not take my insurance. They totally wasted my time and energy because of their incompetency and lack of consideration. Very poor work ethic.

I went to D. Lin after an unsatisfactory visit to a different physician group.. his staff is highly professional and his Medical Assistant is top notch. I was satisfied with the procedures he did in office and appreciated his consult.
