Verified patient
I can certainly vouch for this clinic and Dr Paul Linson as a highly qualified physician. The appointment went really smooth from the free parking, accessing the clinic, the friendly staff. Dr Linson was personable and easy to talk to which lead to very great conversation. The checkup was quick and painless. My experience was memorable and I will make sure to be a regular patient so thank you!
Verified patient
Paul is a first class health care provider and your "go to" primary care specialist. This is not "turn-style" patient care, its careful and mindful listening, it comprehensive planning and clear communication for expected results. Actions speak louder than his words and he words thing pretty darn well. He will hold you accountable for your responsibilities in your health care. If this help......he is calm even when you may not be... he will make sense of your situation even if you feel you are not perfectly clear. He is listening.
Verified patient
Do yourself a favor and schedule with Paul! He was the most attentive and caring physician I have seen in a very long time. I went in for one concern and ended up getting advice and information regarding another concern that he had noticed in my medical records. He wants to help and genuinely wants to make his patients lives easier, and that is hard to find. He also has extensive experience and knowledge in multiple areas of medicine, so for complex cases like myself, it was incredibly comforting to feel like he understood and wanted to treat me as a whole and not just the one issue I marked down for the appointment. Highly highly recommend him and the clinic as a whole!
Verified patient
My experiences with The Good Clinic exceeded my expectations - thank you! I appreciate that the clinic has a holistic & integrative approach, realizing that there’s more to medicine and health than a pill for every ill, although I did end up needing a medication for an acute issue… so they are good at that, too. Great bedside manner, got in right away, overall one of the best experiences I’ve ever had w/ our medical system.
Verified patient
Paul and the staff here are great! I love their personalized care approach to healthcare. The clinic looks very nice and feels welcoming from the waiting area to the exam rooms. They took great care of me! I'll go back and I'd definitely recommend them to family and friends.
Verified patient
You call the clinic and a real, competent person answers the phone. They aren't mindlessly asking you stupid, irrelevant questions and checking boxes on their screens (like at corporate health care clinics). What a relief to find this place. My insurance company hasn't approved them as in-network yet (big surprise), but I don't even care. Happy to pay for competent, efficient care.
Verified patient
Paul is a great practitioner. He genuinely cares about my health and well being and helps me to find solutions that will work for me. He is non-judgmental, caring and relaxed. I appreciate his understanding and partnership in my health. It is also important to me how knowledgeable he is regarding new treatments and advancements in healthcare. I don't want someone that is going to treat every single patient exactly the same way for a certain condition. I feel that he tailors my healthcare to ME for the best chances at a good outcome. Thank you Paul, for always providing exceptional care!
Verified patient
Very appreciative of the approach of this clinic and staff. Very attentive and genuinely concerned for my well being and needs. Couldn’t approve more.
Verified patient
I had a great experience with Dr. Linson! He attentively listened to my concerns and outlined a clear plan for trying to get to the bottom of a complicated medical issue.
My doc of 25 years just retired so I had high expectations...hoping for an immediate fit. Paul is extremely knowledgeable, a good listener and great problem solver. I will certainly recommend and return!
Verified patient
The experience at the Good Clinic was amazing. It seems to be a new model for healthcare. I had the best doctor's appt. of my life here. Thumbs up to Good Clinic and a new model for healthcare.
Verified patient
Paul was amazing. Not only was an hour dedicated to my appointment - something that quite frankly has never happened before - but Paul showed interest in providing me the best care and information that is geared towards me. I was thrilled with my experience and will continue to recommend the Good Clinic.
I have been struggling with on going health issues and for the first time in 4 years I feel like I have been heard. I truly feel I found the right doctor through this app and I am forever grateful
Verified patient
I followed Paul Linson as a patient from his previous practice, and this was my first visit at The Good Clinic. My impression was quite positive. The office setting was comfortable and welcoming, and everything looked well-kept and professional. I was there for a regular physical, and we spent about an hour reviewing my medical history and concerns, as well as doing the standard exam. Nothing felt rushed and I felt like my questions and concerns were truly heard and addressed. Overall, an excellent experience!
Verified patient
I would highly recommend Paul Linson, APRN, he is so kind, smart, patient and thorough, I am not afraid to discuss any issues I am having at all with him. He really listens to my concerns and we decide together on a treatment plan. He is also very responsive to any emails or phone calls I send his way - I have an answer to my question almost always the same day. He is a rockstar!
Verified patient
The first time I sat in the patients chair and felt that I was actually being listened to. Body language - like there was no other goal in the room other than quality care and passion in doing so. Thorough - he took the time to answer every single question I had. Really looking forward to working with my doctor and I hope many more people can have the great health care experience I had, during a time when healthcare is going through pain itself.
Verified patient
It was great
Verified patient
It was like going to a spa and being able to discuss your medical concerns and questions with someone who genuinely cared and fully listened to all you had to say. Very thorough and you are treated with a lot of respect and care.
Very polite and sympathetic, with a great sense of humor that puts a patient's mind at ease. Goes without saying that he is very knowledgeable and an expert in his field. Highly recommend ??
Caring and communicative!
This was a great visit. Paul listened very carefully to everything I said, and never interrupted or hurried me along. He asked tons of follow up questions to try to get the full picture and better understand issues that previous doctors shrugged off. All in all, he spent a full hour with me, which was way more than I expected. There was zero wait time, everybody was friendly. Highly recommended!
Verified patient
I've been a patient of Paul Linson APRN for several years. He has advanced my way of thinking about my health and my primary healthcare. He is a strong advocate for each of his individual patients. He takes the time to clearly understand your medical concerns, your perspectives, and the impact of your medical concern on your daily life and overall health. When he is with you during your appointments he is 100% engaged in your care. He is not distracted and doing other things, he is actively listening to everything you have to say. Paul is patient, compassionate, communicates in terms you will understand, and most importantly....knowledgeable and competent. He will go the extra mile to deliver the best patient care. He is a medical Rock Star !!!, and his patients are very fortunate to have him in their health care corner. ding...
Verified patient
I appreciate their office's philosophy -- more like you're working on the same team as your provider, rather than it being a one-way street, provider to patient. My experience was non-judgmental and I feel good that I'm addressing the issues that need to be addressed. I recommend.
Verified patient
YES!! This is how Doctor appointments are supposed to go! Where you actually FEEL like they care, and are genuinely interested in your wellbeing and care. HIGHLY recommend!
They speak WITH you about your medical needs, and partner with you about treatment needs. Not just a Dr, but also coach. I am a patient for life.
Verified patient
Great visit! Loved the idea of this clinic!
