I Love Dr Lynch & Dr McJunkin. I have also seen Danial O'Connor & Dr Anderson. I was referred to them by my sister-in-law who raved about how good they were & I Totally agree. I Highly recommend them. They were a life saver to me. I was in excruciating pain when they informed me they could do a procedure called Radio Frequency Ablation-RFA's on both my neck & my lower back. And it could last & did last for a whole year. Prior to my finding them, I had a very Limited quality of life. They Truly gave me my life back. Thank you Dr's Lynch, McJunkin, O'Connor and Anderson!! & All your wonderful Nurses!

I showed up for a new patient appointment about 15 minutes early and the woman at the front desk asked me to fill out all the forms and return it to her as soon as possible. After I returned them I was called back into the office about 10 minutes later. I first spoke to a nurse I retrieved my vitals then I met with a PA who did a very comprehensive and thorough background medical check. I am former military and explained to them I was transferring all of my medical care to civilian and that I needed prescriptions as well as a possible procedure. after about an hour of talking to the PA, DR Lynch came in and we had a very good talk about future procedures and he was extremely accommodating and really took notice of the things I was saying and that showed that he really cared about my medical concerns. I 110 % recommend this doctor.

After waiting in a small confined room for over two hours to wait for the Dr that spent 2 minutes with me, I definitely would not recommend this Dr to anyone! His bedside manner was definitely lacking! It is absolutely ridiculous to have to wait for any Dr for over 2 hours! It's a shame he disrespected my time and I will definitely be going to someone else!

Excellent. Even though it took a while to see the doctor, his staff was helpful in doing preliminary examinations to help the doctor with his diagnosis
May 21, 2014Richard G.Verified patient
He know's what he's talking about medically, but beside manner was very poor. The wait time for him was over an hour as well, only to spend less than five minutes with him.

What a great experience. From the minute you walk in the door, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and understandable. They made it easy for me to give my history and have the chance to ask questions. I feel confident that they will be able to help me with my issues. A++ in my book.

Dr Lynch listened to what I said and gave me some test accordingly. He seemed very intelligent! He was a very down to earth gentleman and I liked him very much.

Very good, but the wait was about 1&1/2 hours
September 9, 2013Bruce E.Verified patient
Dr. Lynch was thorough & open to discussion, which I find to be rare in doctors these days. He created an aggressive plan for me and started the ball rolling on this plan before I even left his office. I felt very confident.

I don't feel like he truly cared about my issues. I filled out a 10 page new patient form and he didn't know about 80% of the issue listed on them. Was there for 2 hours and spoke to the doctor for a total of 20 min!
July 31, 2013Kathryn L.Verified patient
Dr. Lynch is caring and able to understand how pain is a mental, social as well as physical issue. As Pain Specialist is efficient, caring and very service focused practice.
