lindell was taking care of my son for years he did 1 of 2 surgeries needed before dupage medical switched to duly medical so he told me he could not do the other foot i havent been able to get a hold of him now looking for new doctor who does hal their job smh

Dr. Lindell has been my sons orthopedic for 15 years. Just wonderful, always polite and very knowledgeable.

COL Lindell, I never got to thank you for putting my leg back together. I was the US Marine who got shipped up to Travis AFB and put in your care. First class from you and the rest of the Air Force staff that month. I still have the screws and plates in my leg, and at 50 years old I do have some issues but was able to finish serving my country on active duty. If you’re ever in Texas, I’d like to buy you dinner.

Dr. Lindell was terrific in explaining different scenarios and options. He spent as much time as needed, was patient, kind and funny with my 13yo daughter. He answered all of our questions.

Can't say enough about Dr. Lindell - fantastic bedside manner, thoroughly explains what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen with an injury/procedure, and takes an interest in my child and my family as people outside of medicine as well. Could not ask for more in a caregiver. Also, the outcome(s) with Dr. Lindell have been exceeded expectations. Love the entire staff at his office.

Has treated my daughter through 2 misaligned kneecaps. Always takes the time to make sure she understands the procedure and the recovery. Have had fantastic results too. Find him to take a middle of the road approach (not too aggressive, not so passive that we are waiting forever for improvement).

Dr. Lindell did the wrong operation on my son’s knee. His knee had been locking up and he did a very invasive procedure on him that was agonizing to recover from, had him in a wheelchair at school for three months and left him with screws in his lower leg bone and an 11-inch scar. The knee locked up again less than two months post-op! He then needed a second surgery less than a year after the first. The correct surgery was a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure to repair a torn meniscus!

Dr. Lindell and his staff have been amazing in treating our daughter's broken femur. Scheduling is always hassle free, the desk staff is friendly and efficient, we never have to wait very long in the waiting room or in the exam room, the xray techs are consistently pleasant and quick, and Dr. Lindell himself has been fantastic! He always talks right to our daughter, explaining everything to her so she can understand it without treating her like a little kid. We HIGHLY recommend Dr. Lindell for any pediatric orthopedic need.

Dr Lindell took a wait and see approach with my daughters scoliosis. Luckily for me I was not pleased with dupage medical group at all and switched to a different doctor. This dr ordered a new brace for my daughter which gave us 50% more improvement in her curve. Had we just waited around for 6 months like Dr Lindell said to we likely would have required spinal surgery.

Staff was very friendly and meet all my expectations. The Dr. was fine. I would have thought he would of introduced himself, since my son was a new patient. I felt he didn't take the time to let my 11 yr old son explain his injury or answer the barrage of questions thrown at him. I had to step in and slow things down so that the Dr got all the correct info. Didn't seem like a pediatric orthopedic doctor to me. Probably fine with adults. Just saw Dr today so rating may improve with treatment suggested.
