Excellent doctor. He listens, and makes sure you get the treatment that you need.

Since I started Coming to see Dr.Lingenfelter he has been,Very polite,Very Professional and Very helpful,,,Great Doctor,I recommend 👍

I do not feel like he cared at all about my condition. Maybe I wasn’t complicated enough for him? I had a back injury and have been trying many avenues for pain relief. Went to FSO as recommended by my PCP, for a second opinion. He did not seem to listen to my concerns, but was so worried about getting out of the room. He spent a total of 5-7 minutes with me. I would expect him to discuss what treatment I have done thus far, but no, he wrote a prescription and said see ya in 6 weeks. NO THANKS

Friendly, patient, knowledgeable! Both Dr. Lingenfelter and his physician assistant (Deborah Hughes) demonstrated great professionalism and exceptional mastery of their field. Very happy mother of 18-yr-old patient!

I went for my lower back and he didn’t even talk about it. He said insurance only pays for one body part during a visit! That’s way I told the receptionist when I made the appointment I was coming in about my lower back!! I’m going to find another dr!!

He was very compassionate & understanding while addressing my problem. I have 100% trust in his skill & judgment.

Listen to everything that is bothering me, has the answers I can understand. The doctor actually listens, very hard to find these days. I am so happy I found him.

Incompetent when it comes to surgery. Scam artist!

Best Doctor

Excellent first visit. Shows genuine care for the patient.

Dr Lingenfelter and I talked through some care solutions and developed a get well plan for my back!

Outstanding professional and personable physician. Shows sincere concern and treatment for patient needs.

Awesome , start pt thursday , and pm following week , one step at a time

Rushes thru the appt. Did not give me clear reason why my bone isn't growing back and why screws are loose. Pain is constant and I was told to wait another 3 months to see is bone graft grows.

He explains procedures in detail which puts me completely at ease. He answers any and all questions and I never feel rushed. He is very friendly and down to earth.

Great listener!

FRIENDLY! He was not overly friendly, but nice enough - but what struck me was his knowledge and expertise, I trust him - I trust his Assistant. - his expertise and professionalism gives me confidence that my spine health WILL IMPROVE

Very nice staff and doctor, the doctor explained everything very well, I felt so much more informed about my injury after I left. I would highly recommend Dr Lindenfelter to this southern part of Delaware.

Very pleasant. Easy to discuss problems with.

It’s a little too soon to rate the Doctor. I’ve had one 5 min appt

The fact that he decided to abruptly leave after a few minutes should tell you all you need to know. I was confused because his comments were at odds with those of his fellow doctor that I had seen a week before.

He is very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. He pinpoints the problem, says what he's going to do, then does it. I highly recommend him.

I love Dr Lingenfelter. He did my spinal fusion in PA and I followed him to DE. He has great bed-side manner and is extremely knowledgeable in his field.

Dr Lingenfelter is fantastic - my surgery went well and initial symptoms have disappeared for which I am thankful I had to rate a surgical experience this was the best I've had!

I think the doctor is great I drove from Penna to see him, sorry to see him gone from my neck of the woods.

Dr Lingenfelter was positive and encouraging for my recovery. I changed practices and travel over an hour to see him. I’m thrilled w my care

Dr. Lugenfelter is great. Very personable and attentive. His PA Debbie Hughes is equally wonderful. I appreciate their care and concern for me!! 5 stars for sure! Would give them more

Very nice dr. He did my husband’s 3rd back surgery

I had a fusion of my cervical spine . Dr. Lingenfelter is a Skilled surgeon with great bedside manner . The staff at First State are fantastic . Everyone is so friendly and make you feel at ease and welcomed . I would highly recommend Dr.L!!

I was a bit nervous having to switch from Dr Rudin (who I’ve been with for several years and is retiring) to Dr L...I was so relieved with my comfort level along with his confidence.... amazing. I also know I’m in great hands with his PA Debbie H

Dr Lingenfelter is a kind and compassionate person and a skilled surgeon. I would highly recommend him if spine surgery is necessary.
