Dr Lindenmeyer is a thorough, caring physician. She listens to concerns and takes them seriously. She set up test to explore the issues. I always feel like she sees me as a person and respects me for who I am. That is a quality lacking in many physicians I have had in the past. She is the physician I trust the most to carefully evaluate and respond to my needs. She has found causes of issues I have dealt with for years but that other doctors ignored. Thank you Dr Lindenmeyer for your outstanding care of me as a person and a patient.
