Dr. Lingenfelter actually LISTENS to me and carefully explains what he believes he can do as a surgeon to help me. Even when he suggests additional surgery, he allows me the option to say "No" and we move on to what else could possible help me. He performed a 5 hrs surgery on my back that was very successful. Prayer b4 surgery also helped.
My 1st visit. He listened and was very informative.
