Dr. Lingenfelter is amazing. We discussed my upcoming surgery. He went over every detail, showed me what he was going to do using the spine sample in his office and the actual hardware. We even covered my hospital stay and after care. He is very knowledgeable and very professional. I am looking forward to my surgery and better quality of life.
He is amazing great bed side manner he listens to you i recommend him to everyone
Dr. Lingenfelter is the best at what he does and always makes himself available for your needs. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent doctor.
Very friendly, answered questions direct but informative, was very impressed with him, and look forward to working with him thru my journey
Very professional, extremely knowledgeable within his field of expertise, answers all questions fully. Highly recommend ! Thank you
Dr. Lingenfelter was very informative. He was direct into the point. He was clinical but at the same time personable.
Dr Lingenfelter was very knowledgeable and informative when I met with him. His bedside manner made the visit a pleasant one, and I had no questions when I left.
I have been an orthopedic train wreck for close to 15 years. I have seen and been treated by numerous practitioners with high power pedigrees. NONE come close to Dr. Lingenfelter. His diagnostic skills are incredible. He views and studies the mri's, and other studies with intense detail. After his data gathering, he compiles a common sense treatment plan with input from the patient. He listens and delivers. A rare find in today's "Healthcare Lottery". Thanks Doc!!
Very professional
The doctor is excellent. The scheduling is very poor. Had to wait 55 minutes just to see the doctor and my x-ray report was not even there.
