James R Lindner, MD

I saw this doctor for a knee issue, he was very confident about how he could fix this problem with the several tears and arthritis in my knee after looking at the MRI. After surgery I was in a great deal of pain and found out it was worse than he thought and he took out meniscus on both sides of my knee. During therapy I was getting worse swelling and pain 24/7 , finally got in to see him because therapy wouldn't touch me because of the way it was swollen and pain. The doctor drained a lot of fluid off my knee and gave me several injections, after about a week nothing was working, went back had another MRI and showed tears and the arthritis became worse saw the doctor again who didn't believe the MRI reading and was confident he did all he could. I was referred to another doctor for a total knee replacement because I was told only option left. I have been living in pain 24/7 can't sleep walk very well and have to wait 3 months because of the injections, yet neither doctor will… prescribe anything for pain while I suffer. Was told to take Tylenol. So I feel as though they are not in it for the patient but the Money.

He was very confident and professional. He sent me for an MRI of my knee. He did not try to push me into surgery and said I could go to physical therapy to see if that would help my knee. If my knee still gave me problems I could return.
