I found Dr.Linnerson to be uncompassionate when I went to see him. I had just found out I was pregnant and he kept on telling me that there was a possibility that I would lose the baby. I found that to be disheartening and rude.This was my first pregnancy and the last thing I wanted to hear is how I can lose my pregnancy. I knew that it was a possibility, but an Ob/GYN shouldn't have to keep on bringing it up. I went to a different OB after that!!!

I was referred to Dr. Linnerson by my oncologist. I explained the problems I was having to him and he was very condescending to me. He talked to me and asked me questions like I was a child. He ignored my questions and laughed at my concerns. He has a terrible bedside manner. He was so rough on me during the pelvic exam that my lower abdomen was sore for two days afterward. He thinks so highly of himself that he will only refer to himself in third person. Even if he is a good surgeon with a lot of experience, it is still just not worth it to go to him. On a different note, his nurse and staff were very friendly.

I had my two high-risk babies 22 and 16 years ago. Dr. Linnerson always took the time to listen to my concerns & answer questions. I had a c-section with my second as she was breach. He tried to avoid the surgery, but was unable to turn her. I continue to see his practice for my gynecological needs. He is the best.

 |  One of the worst experiences of my life.  |  show details
May 1st, 2011

My old OB retired recently, and I was referred to Dr. Linnerson by one of my friends. I looked him up, and since he had nothing but glowing reviews I decided to make an appointment. The staff was very friendly, and the wait was reasonable. He used a friendly tone throughout the appointment, but was often condescending and did not listen to my concerns. He even laughed at my concerns at one point. He made multiple comments about my sexuality that made me feel uncomfortable before referring me to an RE. I don't know if he was just having an off day and I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time or what, but the whole experience with him (not the rest of the staff) was traumatic. :(

I LOVE Dr.Linnerson. He has always been friendly, caring, and just an all around wonderful doctor who I feel extremely comfortable with. I have moved since seeing him with my first son, but will continue to go to him even though its a drive because he is worth it.

Dr. Linnerson is fabulous! He took me through 2 pregnancies, 1 with complications. Could not ask for a more reassuring or confident doctor! All dr's in his practice are great backups, but Dr. Linnerson is wonderful.
