Andrew J. Linn, MD

After spending 32 plus years working with physicians I have never been treated so poorly. I saw Dr Linn late Oct or early Nov for a consultation for pain in both of my hips. He told me I had bursitis and needed injections in both hips. I told him I was having a major surgery on 12÷8÷15 and needed it done before that. He said he would do it the next week and although he was booked he told me to tell the scheduler to over book first appointment in the morning or first in the afternoon. We scheduled it and the day before I received a call that he had overbooked and wanted to reschedule me. I explained he asked to be double booked but he wanted me rescheduled. So we rescheduled to the week of Thanksgiving. The morning of the appointment he cancelled because he was sick. So they could not reschedule me until 2 days after my surgery. I informed my surgeon of the injections and he Was OK with it.
The day of my appointment I waited almost an hour to see him and when he came in to do the procedure he looked at my foot and stated «you just had surgery I can’t do these injections». I told him my surgeon was OK with it and when I made the appointment he knew it was 2 days postoperative. I asked him what the hell I was suppose to do now and he walked out. I waited a few minutes and asked if he was coming back and his staff said «no he went to see his other patients «. I was given no instructions or another appointment. This Doctor had just abandoned me. Mercy was kind enough to get me an out of network referral to another physician. However it isn’t until January. I have now been in pain for over 4 months. This physician is unprofessional and extremely arrogant! I do NOT recommend him.

I don’t understand what happened w/​other Unilocal reviewers experiences w/​Dr. Linn. I empathize w/​your suffering & hope you find someone to help w/​your pain, but my experience w/​Dr. Linn has changed my life for the better.
Dr. Linn is the first doctor in years of debilitating, excruciating pain, that has helped me get my pain under control enough that I’m able to have a more productive & happy life. Over the years I’ve had 2 failed back surgeries, dozens of different injections, failed nerve ablation on my neck, chiropractor visits, physical therapy, numerous types of medications, but nothing could bring my pain under control. After years of this endless cycle I had almost lost all hope that anything/​anyone would help me. It got to the point that I could hardly get out of bed let alone do any type of work or socialize w/​my friends & family. I then decided to try an appointment w/​Dr. Linn. Dr. Linn took his time, had already studied my previous medical records, he listened to both my husband & myself explain what we’ve tried to manage my pain over the years. Dr. Linn explained the treatment plan he wanted to start with & we’d see how I responded to it and adjust as necessary.
That was over 3 years ago and my life is so much better. It hasn’t been easy & I still have to deal w/​pain but thru trial & error we’ve worked together to find a treatment plan that has allowed me to have a much better quality of life. His entire staff has been great and I’ll never go to another pain management Doctor. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!

Not sure how this guy is called a doctor because he only saw me for 5 minutes and didn’t really check or say anything significant about my pain instead he recommended i see a specialist but aren’t you a «pain management specialist»???
geeesh!

This Dr. Is the worst Dr. I have ever seen. I was referred to him for my back and neck pain and the first time I met him he spent 10 minutes with me for a 40 minute consultation and said he really couldn’t help me with my back and neck pain. I have spent countless nights with insomnia due to my pain and expressed this to Dr. Linn and he said I am sorry I can’t help you with your pain and has done NOTHING for me. The million dollar question is why is he a pain management doctor? He is not managing my pain nor does he care about his patients. The guy also has no bed side manner or personality! By far the worst experience I have ever had! I will never see this guy again, I would rather live with the pain I already I have been for 10 years! I wouldn’t recommend this Dr. To anyone I know!

This guy is the worst doctor I have ever seen, he was supposed to treat me for my back and guy gave the worst treatment I have ever received. My back was sooo bad that I couldn’t sleep for nights, and when asked if I could get something for pain he said he couldn’t help… and he is a pain medicine specialist. Don’t see this guy even if he is ur last option. Negligence is a natural thing for this guy and I promise it will happen to someone else too
