The person talking the blood was terrible she hurt both my husband and my self. She is toooo rough. When she rubbed the alcohol wipe it was left red when done. Then when she was actually taking our blood she pressed so hard not where the needle went in but below it. It was difficult to handle. She said my vains must roll. No one has ever said that before. On my husband she had to do it in both arms to get it. Her pressure also was painful. She won't do ours again.

Dr Lin is always very professional, courteous and informative. He gives me the information I need in a way that is easy for me to understand.

03/12/2023

Not the doctor, but the online form is tedious and a waste of time to fill out every time I have an appointment. Repetitive nonsense information being collected has nothing to do with my health concerns. Lots of invasive questions your company asks that have no bearing on my health concerns

12/30/2022

I don’t know if this survey is related to call I made about a phlebotomist on [date]. The service we got from Dr. Linn and his office on [date] was excellent. The service we got on [date] from a phlebotomist at the Nampa hospital was awful.

Attentive, Knowledgeable, Excellent.

06/25/2022

I am always pleased with the care received from doctor Linn. He is very attentive and takes his time.

Dr. Linn is very patient and takes time to ask and answer questions. I never feel rushed in his office and get all my questions/concerns addressed.

03/22/2022

Dr Linn is amazing. I wish he could be cloned. We need more doctors like him. He goes above and beyond to care for his patients. He personally called with test results knowing this was a serious issue. He spent ample time with my child knowing this was a serious issue-he should get paid for 4x his salary for the time and effort he put into solving the problem, getting labs, explaining results over the phone, and getting us a referral to a specialist. He is truly amazing and the best provider I've ever seen in my nearly half century of life. Thank you, Dr. Linn!

Doc is the best

Physician/nurse "excellent" office appt. Tues./Thursday I called because cardiology didn't have order. Dr. office said they would fax order. [date and time] office said sorry we are just faxing it now.

02/24/2022

I love *Dr. Linn. He is thoughtful, thorough, respectful, and caring. My problem is that phone calls with medical questions are not returned in a timely manner. There is no method available to email *Dr. Linn directly. That is something that Kaiser did very well.

02/18/2022

Great. I'll be going back. Wish I didn't have to although visit would be just fine.

01/24/2022

We are fortunate to have PCP like Dr. Linn. He is a blessing.

I've only seen Dr. Linn once before, when I had my last wellness check. I needed a procedure with an outside specialist, and it was scheduled expediently. My and my wife's records may no longer be in the system since our last visits were in the spring of 2016. To address something not included in the this survery, I realize that the office personnel are probably overstretched, but I had to wait on hold for 16 minutes before I could speak with someone.

Dr. Linn is very knowledgeable, thorough, caring, and compassionate. He is extremely good with my senior Mom. He makes sure her medications are kept to a minimum. He doesn't do blood draws or procedures that aren't necessary. He listens well. He is a really good doctor.

Dr. Linn is an excellent physician. I trust him completely. I have been disappointed with some of the other providers I have seen during urgent care hours and disappointed that I am unable to get an appointment with Dr. Linn when something comes up. With all of the people moving to the area please expand services so we can see our provider rather than a PA.

I have seen DR. Linn for 3 years and think he is one of the best. He really cares about mine and my husbands health care needs. He is always very down to earth and takes time to take care of us. I can usually get right in to see him, I know we are in good medical care with him!

Need more docs like him

07/02/2021

Dr.Linn has always listened and responded to any of my questions, I have and will continue to refer him to my family and friends.

This was my first consultation with the Doctor. I was very pleased with his willingness and his concern to know my history and what my concerns were. It was nice to talk to someone who listened and actually helped with my issue. I look forward to my follow up wellness visit.

Very good. Bedside manner is exceptional. But not quite as good as 'Patch Adams' (he-he).

06/17/2021

I like the doctor & staff - & the front office is run very well.

06/04/2021

I'm 72 and am very happy to tell you that Dr. Linn is my most appreciated doctor of all. He is interested, compassionate, knowledgeable and takes time to help me understand. In my long life I have had many doctors and I hope St. Alphonsus knows what rare treasure they have in this man.
