Before seeing Dr Linton I was seen by his Resident. He was very friendly, showed concern and made me feel valued. Then Dr Linton came in. I am always amazed how in depth he is and his attention to detail. He is engaged, attentive and truly listens. I think he has spent an average of 35-45 minutes with me each visit. I very much appreciate his time and attention. You don't see this very often.
