Dr. David Linker, MD

I've been a patient for a decade at least - and the change in Dr Linker over the past couple of years is dispiriting and upsetting. He is barely civil, gets rid of you as fast as possible and seems - this just my impression -under some awful personal strain.

It is distressing to report that Dr. Linker needs to take some time off - he appears wrung out, depressed, bad tempered and - incredibly - was actively rude. I've not seem him for a while and I still can't quite believe how he has changed.

He's been our doctor for about 2 years, but no longer. He rushes you in and out and doesn't seem to care about the concerns you bring up about your health issues. He doesn't look you in the eye or smile. Very bad bedside manner. He complains about the health care system; he seems burned out. He wears an ill-fitting mask down below his nose. When I asked him to pull it up, he seemed annoyed that I should ask.

Long time patient of Dr. Linker. Used to be friendly, caring, attentive. Once the office was sold to United Healthcare the focus has shifted to cost savings over care. Now everything is rushed, he really doesn't pay attention to what you say, and he's trying to push you out the door as fast as possible. He quite honestly looks miserable. Unfortunately now looking for a new family physician because we deserve better than this.

I was running out of my medicine and there was an order in my chart . They wouldn’t let me have the order and get my blood work done unless I saw them again to charge my insurance .And they were not cooperative in booking me appointment I asked them over and over please I need my medication and I understand that doctor can’t order it without looking at my blood work and they still didn’t accept it . So I am in desperate need of my med and I dont have any . All they care charging my insurance . They don’t care about their patient and their health

Front desk communication was poor. They took me in late. Dr Linker typed as I told him what I was there for. Lots of typing. Then he told me to go back to the doctor I was previously seeing because he couldn't help with any of it. I told him my bum would bleed when I pooped.. and I guess he didn't believe me, because he inserted his finger in me with a test, and then tells me, yes there is blood in your stool. Like yeah, I know.. thats why I was there... and he just refers me elsewhere. Waste of time, and he was also a bit rude. Not recommended.

Very BAD bedside manners.

I've been very happy with Dr. Linker for over 10 years. He always takes his time, excellent doctor.

terrible

Dr. Linker is an excellent and caring doctor. He immediately gets back to me when I call or have questions, or when givning me test results. He refers me to competent specialists whe needed. I never wait long in the office for my appointment.
