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.

Best Neurosurgeon!
My visit, surgery and follow up with Dr. Timothy Lindley were all very positive experiences, resulting in a functional and pain free back from my complex 8-vertebrae surgery. My thanks is to Dr. Lindley, Heartland staff and Alomere Hospital for putting in place an excellent spine team who researched, designed a plan, performed the surgery and were concerned about followup on my behalf. Thank you!

I was skeptical on having back surgery but Dr Tim Lindley talked me through everything and I felt so comfortable knowing he was going to do what he could to get my surgery done, because of insurance issues, he went out of his way to make sure insurance was on board. I had my surgery 9 months ago and I’d do it all again. Pain free and walking miles!

I searched for months to find a neurosurgeon willing to do my extensive back surgery. I only found one other neurosurgeon who was willing to do it, and I wasn't comfortable with him and wasn't sure he was really qualified. The wait to find Dr. Lindley was well worth it, as I felt he was very honest, very qualified, and had a wonderful bedside manner. Thanks, Dr. Lindley!

Dr. Lindley fused my lower discs 3-5 a year ago. I have a beautiful nice smooth scar and have had no issues. I highly recommend him!!
