Patient Reviews
Mar 17, 2022
I was visiting my father from Colorado in August of 2021 when on my last night I was suffering severe abdominal pain and was rushed to the ER at Glenbrook Hospital. I had a perforated colon and was septic. Dr Linn literally saved my life. He had to remove over a foot of my colon and performed the Hartmann’s procedure on me. I had minimally invasive incisions on my abdomen as a result of his amazing work! His bedside manner was impeccable as I was super scared and nervous. He was so comforting and assured me everything was going to be ok. 6 months later I just had my colostomy reversed in Colorado. My surgeon here was able to go through the same incisions as Dr Linn’s and praised his good work! I will always be grateful that I was lucky enough to get him as my surgeon in an emergency situation!
