Dr. Linn was recommended to me by one of my other physicians for which I am so extremely grateful. Dr. Linn is genuinely one of the nicest guys, very professional and extremely knowledgeable. His calm demeanor is so reassuring leaving you with the feeling that while in his care, you have very little to worry about. In fact, my wife, who was with me during my procedure and had not previously met Dr. Linn, felt so comfortable with him as well as the entire staff at Highland Park Hospital, she continues to recommend both Dr. Linn and Highland Park Hospital to everyone she gets the chance to. According to her, "he is the man to see and that's the place to go!" Suffice it to say, I can't say enough about Dr. Linn, he is one of the very best!!
