The visit with my physician was to short. IHe seem to be in a hurry.

Dr. Lindsey and his staff is absolutely wonderful. He's made it where I've been able to financially afford to keep seeing him after 24 years. He takes the time to listen, truly hears what I'm saying, asks questions to make sure that he understands what I'm saying or what I'm asking, and has taken the time to really look at what options I have for my healthcare and making sure that I'm comfortable with those. I would highly recommend him to anyone that I meet, anybody who has MS, and I actually have recommended him to several other people, including one of our church members who sees one of his associates. So I would like to say thank you to UT Physicians for having such fantastic staff and doctors on hand to be able to keep our healthcare in place. And I appreciate all you do to make sure that we can financially afford to keep seeing him, because for me this is an out-of-pocket expense if he's not in network for me.

Always a positive experience

Having an appt on video is so much easier, not stress or pressure. Everyone is so knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Lindsey is great, listens, and answers questions without judgment.


Jan 15, 2025

Most of the visit was with the attending and not the actual doctor. The attending had conflicting statements of treatment between what they were telling me was going to happen and what the doctor agreed with and wanted to move forward with.


Jan 13, 2025

Very good! Took me in at appointment time & saw me promptly. Very informative about new medications.

Uthealth was amazing team. Took there time to explain everything to me


Dec 23, 2024

Due to the passing of my wife of 52 years, 3 years ago, I moved to the Dallas area to be closer to my daughter. I was diagnosed with MS by Dr. Wolinsky in 1991 and the ability to continue my appointments with Dr Lindsey virtually via telemed since that time has been wonderful. I am trusting that even though the Neurology dept is adopting a policy of no virtual appointments in 2025 you will make an exception for me to continue virtual appointments with Dr Lindsey. Making that exception will allow me to avoid an in office appointment and thereby the expense of the drive to Houston and an overnight hotel stay. Due to having secondary progressive MS I am confined to a wheelchair 100% of the day. Thank you. [...]

Dr. Lindsey has been caring for me for almost 20 years. He has always shown concern whenever new symptoms have come up and has gotten imaging or testing done right away. If my situation needs another specialty, such as neurosurgeon Dr. Stark, he directs me to them and helps set up an appointment. Him and Dr. Schiess are the best!


Dec 20, 2024

Dr. Lindsay and his nurse Kenra made me feel very comfortable during my procedure!

I want to thank Dr. Lindsey for accommodating myself during my visit. I was scheduled to see another provider, however, the individual was not available. And I greatly appreciate Dr. Lindsey for taking time and for seeing myself. Thank you again.
