Dr Linnick was my Doctor for nearly 15 yrs. Little does he know he saved my life! He kept me from attempting suicide in 2004. He genuinely cares about his patients. I love and miss you Dr. Linnick!!! I hope you're doing well!!! God bless you and your family!!!

I was a patient of Dr. Linnick from 1990-2003. He'd still be my GP if I hadn't moved away. I can honestly say that I truly miss everything about being his patient. Patients like me can drive doctors crazy, but it's not by choice. Since I turned 22, and in the midst of starting my teaching career, I became what some Doctors call a boomerang patient. I have multiple autoimmune diseases, and rapid onset disk and bone deterioration (my back), resulting in five surgeries, (more in the future), and leaving me with severe neuropathy, myleopathy, and Occipital Neuralgia Migraines. Dr. Linnick cares!

Dr. Linnick is the best when it comes to patient care. Unlike Doctors in the past, He never seems rushed and takes the time to explain what is going on with your health. He does not talk over your head or cast Judgement upon his patients. He is a hometown kind of Doctor who feels like a friend...Thank you Dr. Linnick
