Great doctor
5-Star Review for Dr. Kenneth Lingenfelter – First State Orthopaedics After being involved in an auto accident, I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Kenneth Lingenfelter at First State Orthopaedics—and I truly can’t say enough good things about him. From the very first consultation, Dr. Lingenfelter demonstrated a level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise that immediately put me at ease during what was a very stressful time. He is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain my injury and the recommended procedure, making sure I fully understood every step. His bedside manner is exceptional—he listens, answers questions patiently, and genuinely cares about your recovery and well-being. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines medical excellence with such a personal, human touch. Thanks to Dr. Lingenfelter’s guidance, I feel confident moving forward with treatment and optimistic about my recovery. Thank you.
Dr Lingenfelter is so very compassionate. He uses other options instead of going right to the surgery option and that’s one of the things I love about him. I really appreciate him caring for my back problems. I would definitely recommend him to others hands down.
Been going to him for years! Best doctor ever!
