Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Fantastic doctor. My very healthy husband was blindsided by a diagnosis of prostate cancer. The day we received the diagnosis, Dr. Link agreed to see us and discuss options (we were already at the medical building where he practices). He proceeded to talk to us in depth about the prognosis, whether surgery should be sooner or later, and other options we could pursue. Although it was late in the day, he couldn't have been more accommdating and kind. He was extremely comforting with his air of confidence that all would be well, while at the same time not holding out any false hopes. On the day of surgery, the doctor took 5 hours to perform the robotic prostectomy so that he could be sure that he preserved all the nerves he could. He made the first incision around 2PM and by 2PM the following day my husband was cleared to go home! He has made an incredible recovery with no bad side effects as yet. I will update on his ability to "perform" but signs are already good!

Listens well. Respectful. Professional and Personable. Doesn't over prescribe or insists on unnecessary tests. Makes medical decisions on good medical judgement. Gives you options and then his opinion on choices. Spends appropriate time with you and answers questions.

Dr. Link saved my life..I had a malignant tumor in my left kidney. He explained what needed to be done, scheduled me quickly into Methodist, removed my kidney. So thankful, he's an excellent doctor, wish there were more like him. Dr. Link also had great residents taking care of me before and after surgery..so thankful for him ??

Dr. Link saved my life. It's hard to get to see him, indeed, but the wait for my life. If you choose to see him, know that he is the best in his field.

Dr. Link is the most knowledgeable and caring doctor I have ever met. I had a large angioliomyolipoma on my kidney that needed to be removed due to risk of rupturing. He took time to explain my options at my first appointment and was never rushed. He listened carefully and addressed all of my questions and the risks. I met with him once again before having the surgery and knew he was the very best doctor. My surgery went extremely well and I could not be happier with Dr. Link

I have a 30+ year history of kidney problems and kidney stones. After discovering I had a giant stone that required surgical removal, I was referred to Dr. Link. He performed comprehensive tests and evaluation and removed the stone. An extremely professional and knowledgeable physician. Most importantly, he knows how to communicate with the patient, explain the details and procedures. I won't go to another Urologist as long as he is available. He's the Man!

Dr. Link is the best Urologist I've ever had. Through the years, he performed NUMEROUS cystoscopy's on me w/no issues (other than my recurring stones). In 2012, Dr. Link performed a left-side nephrectomy. Prior to the nephrectomy, I spent 30 to 50 days per year IN the hospital, not to mention home recovery after discharge. Painful way to live. Was close to ending myself. Now, no more kidney stones. He saved my life. I am forever in his debt. Awesome bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Link. Carl B.
