Dr. Linder always made me feel extremely comfortable throughout my whole appointment. Dr. Linder listened attentively to me and he validated my concerns. My appointment wasn't rushed at all as he took his time with me, encouraged all of my questions about my condition, and answered each of them. I am so glad Dr. Linder is my doctor as I feel I am finally in the "right hands" and have a treatment plan in place.

I recommend him often. And her is well respected in the area, as I learned from the tech at my ultrasound. She indicated that everyone thinks very highly of Dr Linder and that he provides excellent care.

Dr. Linder is the best doctor I've ever had. He listens and actually cares about what I have to say. He cares about my comfort during the appointment and works to minimize any discomfort I may have. He makes sure I always understand what he's saying and gives me plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I never feel rushed. In addition to being very nice and empathetic, he is a great doctor and the only one who ever properly diagnosed and resolved a major gynecological issue I've had for over 10 years. Dr. Linder is actually one of the reasons why I have stayed in Rochester. I couldn't picture a better doctor if I tried.

Dr. Linder is the kindest, most gentle, informative, validating, doctor I've ever seen, period. He is a great listener, and makes what is typically a women's least favorite annual appointment something I'm actually excited to go to. He's helped my quality of life increase significantly by informing be about the IC diet, and changing over my birth control to something that works the best for my body. I couldn't be happier to have confidence, faith, and comfort in my provider for such an intimate subject.

I was incredibly impressed with my experience. This is the first time I have seen this provider, and usually I feel uncomfortable seeing male health care providers but I felt very comfortable with this provider. He listened to my concerns, validated my experience, took time to explain what was going on and discussed the typical outcome for my problem. I felt like he wasn't rushing (even though I had been a last minute double booked appointment), I felt respected and I felt that he genuinely cared about providing a solution to my problem. Thank you!
