I have seen Dr Linville on and off for 4 years. I've had severe back and neck pain. Dr Linville performed back surgery on me and it had improved my life significantly. Almost all of the pain is gone, if I do have any, it is minor. I would definitely recommend Dr Linville. It's hard to express the relief this surgery had given me. Dr Linville is definitely a 5 star. I appreciate how he helped me.
