Linda P. D'andrea's Online Review Report Card

Dr. D'Andrea does not rush a visit. She takes as much time as needed to care for her patients. She is wonderful!

I sought this doctor for surgery consult after having no success from many months of conservative treatment including 3 ESIs. Not only was she dismissive of my pain, she writes in my medical record that I probably have rheumatoid arthritis, Lymes disease, vitamin deficiency or other such nonsense. I have never been diagnosed with any of these, despite telling her. She even said that my MRI doesn’t look that bad and the pathology on the MRI doesn’t match my complaints of pain. Her lack of lucidity and obvious bias because it was work comp demonstrates to me that she could not have gotten through medical school even with a search warrant. I would definitely not recommend this person. Do not send your loved ones to her either. I think she needs to retire because she clearly hates her job and the patients who come seeking a solution to their pain.

This doctor was cold as ice. She will dismiss your pain like it’s no big deal even though your whole life has changed because of chronic pain and disability. She could care less about truly helping you. She is also very rude, insulting, and smug. Maybe one day she will get cancer with a tumor pressing on her spinal nerve roots. She will know then what spinal nerve pain feels like because she has no idea what it is now even though she supposedly is a spine doctor. If you are looking for a compassionate doctor to help find a solution to your pain, look else where. Don’t waste your time with her.

I went to her for a surgery consult. She was very dismissive of my pain from two lumbar herniations on L5 and S1 nerve roots. Even though I brought my medical records for all the conservative treatment I had received since the injury occurred on the job 8 months earlier, including 3 ESIs, she writes in my medical record that it’s probably Lymes disease or Rheumatoid arthritis or some other such nonsense. ...

I went to see this woman for a surgery consult for two lumbar herniations on L5 and S1 nerve roots. She was smug, indifferent to my pain, and cold as ice, telling me “it doesn’t look that bad.”After having no success with all the conservative treatments, including 3 ESIs, she states in my medical record that the pathology in my MRI doesn’t match my symptoms. She also states in my medical record that it could be Lymes disease, vitamin deficiency, or Rheumatoid arthritis, none of which I have and have never been diagnosed with. Her lack of lucidity demonstrates to me that the only way she got through medical school was with a search warrant, although she probably couldn’t have gotten through medical school with even that. She needs to retire because she clearly hates people and hates what she does because it was evident by her disdain and contempt. I would not recommend her. Very unprofessional and if she doesn’t change her attitude towards patients it may come back to haunt her.

The recent reviews are correct. Bedside manner is ice cold and borderline unprofessional. Linda entered the room without introduction and began listing all of the complications of surgery, skipping over what the injury was or how she planned to address it. Her ‘plan’ was to try a pin but may need a plate which would be a game time decision. 2 other doctors who took and looked at new X-rays agreed a plate was necessary and planned surgery accordingly. Highly recommend seeking treatment elsewhere.

She did excellent surgery for my Dad on his broken hip! He hasn’t had any problems in the past year since the surgery!! I highly recommend her!!

I had a similar experience as mentioned by others. After an initial CT scan, she said my scoliosis was at a 56% curvature and I needed a spinal fusion. However, after many follow-up appointments it’s like she forgot what she said and basically wished me luck. What the hell is wrong with her? A reputable surgeon who knows of her told me to stay away from her. I am taking his advice.

I had spin surgery. Dr D’Andrea did a perfect job. Great doctor!

Dr. D’Andrea was very kind and took time with me each visit. However, I was usually waiting over an hour each time I went for an appointment. Her medical assistant NEVER returned my calls. I was also given the impression that I had some very serious brain and spine issues at my last appointment and it sent me down a very expensive and stressful few months. Only to be told that I have NONE of those issues by reputable neurosurgeons.
