Dr. Lingenfelter consistently exemplifies unwavering professionalism and a genuine commitment to delivering the highest quality care for his patients. He takes the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, outlining the associated risks, benefits, and recovery process in a clear and straightforward manner. Alongside his outstanding medical team, he embodies the kindness, compassion, and expertise that truly make a difference in people's lives. From the initial consultation to the surgery and post-operative recovery, I have felt supported and cared for at every stage of the process. If you're seeking a premier orthopedic practice, I highly recommend First State Orthopaedics, the leading medical institution specializing in exceptional orthopedic care.
I would recommend Dr. Lingenfelter to anyone. He is very comprehensive and compassionate and explains everything clearly.
Dr. Lingenfelter takes his time and reviews everything over with you.
Best Doctor in Delaware
Dr Lingenfelter is so kind, caring and tries his best for his patients.
Absolutely awesome!! Great surgeon. He did my 3rd lumbar fusion. His technique was different from my first two fusions. I had the easiest and quickest recovery ever!! He listens and thoroughly reviews radiology tests and makes the best treatment plan. He goes the extra mile for his patients when their insurance company denies coverage. He works hard to make sure they understand that the surgery is necessary and gets them to give approval.
Dr. Lingenfelter was fantastic, from explaining my procedure to performing my procedure. Thank you very much!
Dr Kenneth Lingenfelter is as fine of a Doctor & Surgeon as you'll find anywhere on earth.
Very long wait
Great!
