Exemplary in every way! I felt well prepared for the surgery and a tremendous support from Dr. Linschoten. Throughout the process my questions were always answered. Dr. Linschoten is an incredible surgeon and gifted with compassion for his patients. I am sorry it took me so long to muster up the courage to do this... should have done this years ago! I will be forever grateful!

Dr. Linschoten treated my knee for three years before it became necessary for knee replacement. I trusted him completely and found his diagnoses and treatments to be accurate and helpful. When the time came for TKR he was clear in his explanations. The results have been better than I could have imagined. I was walking miles, biking, playing golf, and mowing the lawn within a matter of weeks post-op. Dr. Linschoten and his staff have helped me tremendously.
