Dr. Colin Linke, MD

Dr Linke is very personable and thorough. I would highly recommend him.

Appreciated bedside manner and friendliness upon meeting him for first time in surgery. Was able to work me in for kidney stone removal without much notice and calmed my nerves.

Very thorough, took time to answer questions and discuss a variety of options. Follow up has been great as well. Highly recommend him.

I had a high PSA score and my initial appointment was with a nurse practitioner who spent maybe ten minutes with me. I tried to tell her what my symptoms were and how I was feeling physically, and she said I would need to talk to my primary care doctor about those things. She said we would begin the process of ruling out prostate cancer, which included an MRI and biopsy. I had the MRI which showed lesions growing outside my prostate among other things that I never got a chance to talk to anyone about because the office never called me. However the online report stated possible cancer. After biopsy no call again. Online report indicated no malignancy but referred to other conditions I had no understanding of. I called and nurse practitioner who said further tests indicated I was fine. I don't feel fine and still have never had an appointment with the doctor. Its been 5 months and I have never had a call or follow up to see what can be done. Looking for a new doctor. Don't go here

Doctor Linke never followed through with my husband's bleeding bladder condition since he couldn't do what he recommend he should do. Because of this, we had a second opinion with a new doctor, and they found Bladder Cancer. Had Dr. Linke scoped him like he should have to see why he was bleeding instead of guessing, he could have found this cancer at least 10 weeks before the new doctor found it. Just because my husband's 87, it doesn't mean he doesn't count! He had lost so much blood during this time, they had to give him a transfusion during his surgery. shame on Dr. Linke!

May be a good doctor, but I couldn't tell. Waited for months to get an appt for recurring kidney stones. When appt arrived, I was seen by an LPN, and followed up with a KUB. Took two weeks and multiple calls to the office to determine the results, and the only call I got was from a scheduler who had no knowledge to share, but offered to schedule a Lithotripsy. Ended up declining and went to another Urologist who took the time to actually provide me with information and service. Never did meet Linke. Turns out he's the only Urologist in the network, and is grossly over-scheduled, which is typical for the Lutheran Health network in this area.
