Had zero expectation of accomplishing anything productive during a hospitalization. Brief consult with Dr. Lynch (due to MRI scheduling) was the most helpful and productive five minutes spent with any physician. His ability to focus on the diagnostic picture while ignoring distractors is unparalleled. This chance encounter continues to be incredibly helpful.

Had to listen to his stories and anecdotes for most of the visit, including how he hears his Mom's voice, while he trivialized my condition and told me to "reframe" my viewpoint. Did an extremely subpar examination. Office was dirty. Antiviral hand sanitizer container had candy in it! Reported to insurance company.

I would definitely refer my friends to Dr. Lynch. He really makes an effort to find your problem and then finds an answer. Very knowledgeable.
