Stephen F. Lindsay's Online Review Report Card

Worst Dr ever. If you are looking for a Dr that had the slightest care about his patients then he is not it. I had a CT scan 7 months ago then I was told to have another one in 6 months which I had in July. I called the office to make an appointment to go over my results but told the dr will teleconference with me on 7/12. The Dr never did. I called the next day and I was told he will call me on 7/14, but never did. I called again the next day and spoke to Rose marry and she said she will talk to the Dr and call me back on 7/16, but never did. I called again on 7/20 and talked to Kelly, she said according to the notes the Dr spoke to me on 7/12 and went over the results which is a lie. I said if you are going to bill me for consultation that never happened I will let the insurance it is fraudulent billing unless they can produce a record of the call to me. This Dr and his staff do not care about their patients. They gave me the run around and lied for services they never done. They should be ashamed of themselves.

My experience with Dr Lindsey would most definitely cost him his license. After seeing 5 different doctors & specialists at Hoag for a very rare condition, I finally had my appointment with Dr Lindsey. I’ve also spent the greater part of the last month doing research and educating myself. My primary doctor had ordered an MRI for Dr Lindsey to have prior to our consult. Fast forward to my appointment. After Dr Lindsey provided me a lot of FALSE information about my condition, I asked if he had seen my MRI or CT scan. I could tell he had not. He admitted that he had not prepared and then began reviewing the report but had no computer to look at the imaging. He was not aware of the facts of my condition and therefore was giving me bad information. I professionally & calmly questioned his lack of preparedness and he lost it. I barely said much after that. He said he was transferring me to UCI, he said “I could care less if I’m your doctor or not” He proceeded to say that if he’s my doctor I’ll just “end up suing everyone”. I never said or thought such a thing, but clearly he’s been sued for his lack of competence before. I waited 4 weeks to see him and I left shaking. I simply expected a HOAG Vascular Surgeon to at least look at the CT scan and MRI & not completely BS a patient with nonsense to cover up his lack of integrity and care. This Doctor does harm!!! I am worse off for being his patient. Please retire!!

This Dr. billed my insurance for services that never occurred. I will call my insurance and let them know of the fraudulent claim that he submitted.

We have seen Dr. Lindsay twice and he has been very punctual. He was very clear on my wife's condition and indicated that a procedure to increase the blood flow to her left leg was very important. He performed the procedure and got the result desired. My wife suffers from dementia and he has been very understanding of her condition and treats her with kindness and respect.

I found Doctor Lindsay to be fully knowledgable, thorough, pleasant and relaxing. The derogatory guy must be one himself.

I was really upset by how unprofessional they are in front of their patients. The office staff was rude and obviously didn't care about offending anyone. I had to wait forever after I arrived for my appointment. They were running really behind and I was disappointed because it threw off the rest of my day. I wasn't greeted at all when I walked in the door. No one seemed to notice or care that I was there. Their staff was not friendly at all, I didn't feel welcome there. I must have been in their waiting room for half the day. I still can't believe they made me wait that long. Dr. Lindsay has the worst bedside manner, absolutely rude and condescending! Two words to describe this arrogant Dr. Stephen Lindsay: JACK ASS !!!! No, I do not recommend this doctor.

Knowledgeable and caring. He has a heart and will tell you the truth.
