I was having difficulty seeing out of my left eye. The doctor listened to my issues provided a very in-depth eye exam noticed. I had an issue with inflammation and reached out to a colleague that specialized and inflammation and got me an appointment in Boston within the next three hours, I was so grateful I was brought to tears.

I like this doctor very much -- pleasant, thoughtful, respectful. I wish the doctor had checked the glasses RX that the nurse gave me. I wish the doctor had explained what the film she saw at the back of my eye meant. There was a lot to discuss and I did not respond when she mentioned it, but afterwards, I thought, hmmmm, maybe that is the problem and wanted to know more.

Dr Linderman and her team continue to excel in all aspects! They are sincere, cordial, professional, sympathetic, understanding, patient, responsive, amicable and super friendly and supportive! They are somehow (nursing superpowers probably) able to convert a usually uncomfortable (dilation, pressure tests, etc) set of diagnostics to a pleasant, informative, and inspiring experience! The friendliest and most accommodating staff is only surpassed by the deft skills demonstrated by Dr. Linderman herself. Since having the privilege of being a patient of Dr. Linderman's my optical health and wellbeing have both dramatically improved! I attribute this directly to Dr. Linderman and her staff's expertise and diligence. The proof , as they say, is in the pudding and my testing results directly reflect and also demonstrate this continually. Thank you all so much! ????

2025-09-24

She gave me excellent care and she helped to find out why my prescription eyeglasses weren't working and that the optometry shop I was using out here in Western Mass had not put any prisms in my eyeglasses. I was immensely helpful to learn and that she also got me set up to get an appointment there so that Mass Eye and Ear could grind my own glasses and get it correct. I immensely appreciate that. I'm a severely dyslexic person and I'm also a caregiver, so thank you immensely.

2025-08-27
-
I was not impressed with the medical examination I got from Dr. Linderman, who was not particularly informative throughout the entire visit; in fact, I had to ask her for specific information which I imagine any [redacted]-year old would want to have, such as my eye pressures, floaters, and progression (if any) of cataract formation. In addition, she was distant and unenthusiastic throughout, acting as might a person who felt that she perhaps had better things to do. [redacted]
2025-08-26
-
He and all the staff were terrific. They did beyond outstanding job. The problem is that I have a visual problem with optic neuritis and getting a correct vision so I can see with my eyeglasses or cataract is very, very hard. They did beyond what was necessary. They were all outstanding.
