He's been my doctor since I moved to Taneytown 44 years ago. I agree with the other reviews. Easy appointments, listens to patient, everything one would want from a family doctor. Not like corporate doctors/medicine today.

Dr. Linthicum embodies the qualities one would expect in a family doctor. He is kind and personable, he listens to you and treats what you have to say as important, and takes the time to explain his diagnosis and answer any questions that you may have.

I'm not sure why if the CareFirst website says he is accepting new patients why when you call they say no.

The only reason why I don't go to Dr. Linthicum anymore is I moved. He's caring, diligent, knowledgeable, and has great staff. Unfortunately, he doesn't have hospital privileges, so if you're admitted, you're out of luck but he'll do his damnest to make sure you DON'T go into the hospital.
