I've been blessed to be under Dr. Lincoln's care for 13 years! I've always seen him personally, he always takes time to address my questions/concerns, and he is just a good human. I fly in from Las Vegas because physicians like him are impossible to find here! The travel is tough, but he is 100% worth it! I know I'm in good hands! His medical students were super nice and knowledgeable too! Very professional! The overall experience has only improved since I've been a patient. Everyone is super nice, easy to work with, quick to respond, and attentive. Shout out to Tonya and Michelle for always taking care of last minute needs too. I really appreciate you both! I (kind of) wish I could have mris done there too, but there was uncertainty re: whether facility was or wasn't in network back in October. Unfortunately, even my insurance couldn't confirm or deny. Thanks to all for offering an amazing product! Quest even had results back within 24 hours!

There are not enough letters to form words in any language for me to describe Dr. John A. Lincoln. He has been steering through my journey with MS for 6 years and he, without fail, listens to me and helps me understand a wide view of all things MS, both mental and physical. He is very open when listening me "go off the rails", which happens often and is empathetic, compassionate and caring.
