Dr. Timothy James Linker

If you’re looking for a Doctor who is kind, smart, patient, supportive and one that will truly care for your health and well-being, I urge you to visit Dr. Linker’s practice. My family and I have been patients of Dr. Linker for many years. He has been an instrumental advocate in our lives throughout many life stages, diagnoses and both mental and physical illnesses. We are all forever grateful for him!

I highly recommend Dr. Linker. He is an excellent Physician, cares and spends time needed, leads a great staff, … When referrals are needed he gets some of the absolute best Doctors. I had three referrals for Cardio, torn tendon, and ENT for sinus surgery. I was very impressed with each of them. I appreciate all the care he provides.

Dr. Linker has been my Doctor for 16 years, and he has always been awesome! I will be his patient for as long as possible!

Dr. Linker and his caring staff are the best!!! I recommend him to everyone because he is kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. No question goes unanswered. The staff always answer the phone and are able to work me in if needed.

Dr. Linker and staff are welcoming, caring and friendly. Dr. Linker listens to your health concerns and explains your results in detail. If you are looking for a doctor that genuinely cares, he is the doctor for you!

Tim keeps close to his schedule and still takes the time to explain your situation, options, and recommendations. He has been a trusted provider for me and my family for years.

From start to finish I felt completely taken care of. The office staff is very personable and friendly. The back staff was super compassionate. Dr. Linker took a genuine interest in my needs during my appt. I will definitely return to his office and would recommend him to my family and friends!

He is mindful of cost and provides care appropriately. Never lectures you about your health but provides guidance. I like that he has a sports medicine background as my husband and I have injuries related to working out etc.

I had been very sick for over2 weeks with COVID.Callled office several times. At appointment I asked Dr Linker what antiviral he prescribes twice and he could not answer me. I said "maybe you should read more about current treatment for COVID" He then became Irate, stood up and kicked his chair and Yelled at me "how dare you say that to me, you don't know me ! We are done here, find another doctor and I'm going to tell the other doctor in my practice what you said." I said nothing back, I was feeling very sick. I just left and will never go to this doctor ever again. There are other bad reviews.

We have been seeing Dr. Linker for many years now and have recently transitioned our older children to him. He has always taken his time with me and made a point to answer all my questions. I have never felt rushed through a visit. I love that he is a Christian doctor! I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and family. Great medical professional that I trust.

I have been seeing Dr. Linker for 10+ years. I am able to get into appointments quickly when it's an injury or a sick need. Dr. Linker has been able to give me inexpensive "fixes" to injuries or sickness I was having. I spent a bunch of time and money in the ED one weekend for a pain I was having that they weren't able to diagnose and come to see Dr. Linker Monday morning and he diagnoses/ treats it in a few minutes and with a less than $10 med. Dr. Linker is not only good medically but he is caring and makes you feel valued and treated as a whole person not just a medical issue to be fixed.

I've been going to see Dr. linker for the last 5 years. I appreciate his diagoses, since they have always been spot-on. I appreciate the time Dr. Linker spends with me without feeling like I am being rushed off. His staff is also generally prompt and efficient. I especially appreciate being able to talk to a human right away when I call. The practice's call-backs on prescriptions and follow-ups on additional care are also timely. I also commend his practice on prompt attention at the time of appointment. I've been going to see Dr. linker for the last 5 years. I appreciate his diagoses, since they have always been spot-on.

My family has been patients of Dr. Linker for the past 10 years. We absolutely love this practice, never have an issue getting an appointment (sick appointments too) and always treated with compassion. Dr. Linker's staff is quick to relay any messages to him, and also quick to give us a call back should we ever have any questions. Proud to be patients of Dr. Linker's practice and know that we will always be taken care of in a timely manner. Thank you for being the best!

Dr Linker is by far one of the most genuine, caring doctors I have ever been to. He is knowledgeable, and very compassionate.

In spite of my telling the doctor that preferred supplements for everyday health, he was very critical and made a point of telling me how crazy people are about taking unnecessary supplements. Where multivitamins were concerned, he told me the "jury was still out" regarding them. I received numerous criticisms from him.

Dr Linker is amazing. I have many friends who use him too! He's always extremely friendly and takes his time to listen and find solutions. I highly recommend Dr. Linker and his staff!!!

Been a patient since the beginning of his practice. He is still the same sweet kind and caring doctor. The best one I have ever had. Front end workers are wonderful too. My favorites are Cindy and Brandy

I am 22 years old and I’ve been a patient here ever since I left my pediatrician. Excellent care and friendly doctor!!!

Very unprofessional. I don’t want to get into all the many details but I had to ask multiple times for my medical information to not be released to another patient who was my mom. I was not a minor. This is illegal. I know because I come from a family of medical workers and am even one myself being the third generation of people working with geriatric/hospice care. Eventually I left because I can see from a professional persons perspective the lack of quality. I personally believe the office comments saying “this is not a patient” are just people who have left and that’s why they aren’t a patient. However I can’t say for sure. I was prescribed the wrong medication for my ADHD as well. Meaning it was medication for something other than ADHD. I was yelled at by the receptionist in front of the other patients. Pushes his faith into his patients with the music he plays. I believe it to be played to make people feel safer in the hands of a good person but bad doctor. Many people leave good reviews here because they are Christian and find it wonderful that their faith is being shared via music. I think it is insensitive to others who may have no religion or a different religion. I think a lot of very naive evangelical minded Christians have said actually have their judgement clouded by this and only leave good reviews and see him because they want to endorse and support anyone who pushes their faith onto others. There needs to be better communication with patients all around. He himself seems to be a pretty nice guy as far as his personality he’s pretty great as a person and nice to his patients. He’s usually very kind and patient. I thought I might be “a karren” for posting a negative review but after reading others remarks it’s clear that they mostly all match my experience.

I AM a current patient at the practice. I will say that on a surface level the office and the doctor are super pleasant. I do feel alienated when I am in the waiting room and the religious music starts because it just doesn't feel welcoming if you are not christian. I've never had a bad experience with the office staff or the doctor on a social level. However, I've had several blood test results come back with abnormalities and he does not follow up on his end until you point it out. If you are someone who needs a doctor to write out blood tests for you and you are willing to read them and interpret them yourself, this is the doc for you. If you need guidance on your health decisions, perhaps a different doctor may wield better results. He really is a nice guy but I haven't gotten a whole lot of help. I'm sorry to have to write this honestly but other people should have all the information before they decide what is going to work for them. Update: he called me today and told me to find another doctor and fired me as his patient. I'm now considering further actions. I AM a current patient at the practice.

Called at 7:31 am and was seen at 7:45! Out the door at 8am.

Great Doctor! Addresses my concerns quickly and professionally!

Dr. Linker is the best. I trust him and am able to ask questions and not feel rushed. I highly recommend him.

Wonderful, professional, efficient office. I've NEVER had a long wait for my appointment. The staff is so friendly and compassionate.

Healthlink Family practice has been serving my family for years. I have always had excellent care from the doctors and great response from the staff. My daughter recently traveled overseas and Dr. Linker went above and beyond to prepare her for this experience by advising us on vaccines and answering all of our questions.

Dr Linker is a kind, compassionate, caring physician. He is very knowledgeable has always given me sound medical advice. I trust Dr Linker and I believe that is the basis for all good doctor/patient relationships. I have no hesitancy in recommending Dr Linker if you're look for a physician.

Since moving here over five years ago, Dr. Linker has been our family doctor. I have never had a physician been so complete in discussing problems and giving advice and help. He and his staff are exceptionally easy with which to work.

My family, wife and 4 children, have been patients of Dr. Linker since we moved to the area about 8 years ago. We have all been in to see him for one reason or another along with the annual checkups. He is always prompt, professional, and very cordial. The office staff has come to know us personally and regularly checks in to see how the kids are doing. It is not uncommon to receive an after hours phone call to check in on us after we have received care. I would recommend this practice to any and all.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Linker and his staff. He takes such good care of my whole family and is so patient and friendly with my kiddos, making it not so bad going to the "doctor". He is always very through and I never feel rushed. I would recommend him to all of my friends and family.

I love this practice! Everyone is very friendly and efficient. Dr. Linker is so great that both my husband and I enjoy having him as our doctor. Like his staff, Dr. Linker has the perfect mix of compassion and being direct to make every visit feel like you were heard and your ailment will soon be resolved.

Dr Linker is great! He listens to me and my issues and let me know what he would do and how things work. His staff is wonderful as well. They all make you feel welcome!

Dr. Linker is a wonderful family Physician. He goes above and beyond what is expected to provide excellent and compassionate care to my family. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends and family!

I've been a patient for 10+ years now and Dr Linker has never steered me wrong! I first started seeing him to help me with my anxiety, my anxiety was health related (ie always thinking something was wrong with me). He helped me realize there was nothing wrong with me, but also didn't make me feel uncomfortable if I wanted tests to prove to myself. He never forced a test or told me I needed to do something that I wouldn't need to do. He's straight up, low stress, honest, and all around good guy. I would highly recommend if your looking for honest Dr with a lot of knowledge, not someone trying to dig into your pockets for unnecessary BS. I always feel he has my best health interest in mind. Any negative review on here is mind blowing!

Dr. Linker has been amazing. Having a family doctor that's also good with sports medicine is absolutely perfect for us. He's very friendly, and has always done us well...which is why we've been going to him for years. I wouldn't go to anyone else. Also most importantly, I've never had a visit where I was stuck in a waiting room, or a exam room for a long period of time.

I honestly don't know how anyone couldn't give this practice a 5 star review. I guess some people would complain about puppies and sunsets too. I've been seeing him for years and he's always been stellar in every way. The staff is amazing, and have always been extremely friendly. The scheduling is on point, and I've never been waiting to get in, and when I'm there, I'm not waiting long. Ever. He's thorough and has always taken the time to explain every ailment or injury. As a matter of fact at my visit today he even explained how the blood pressure cuff worked and how blood pressure is measured using it. Why? because I was curious.

Dr. Linker is very thorough & knowledgeable. I always feel like he genuinely cares about my overall health and takes the time needed during my visits. His staff is also very efficient & caring.

Dr. Linker has gone way above and beyond what was expected in his care of my family. We are glad to have a family doctor with who is also certified in sports medicine, as my kids are all in sports. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for an excellent family physician.

I have been a patient of Dr. Linker for more than a decade. I am very demanding with regards to businesses providing excellent customer service. Dr. Linker's practice is very professional and courteous. When things don't go well, or as expected, they work to make it right. Lastly, Dr. Linker's ability to connect and listen is something that sets him apart from other medical professionals I've interacted.

Dr. Linker is excellent. Very thorough and does a great job relationship building. Really makes you feel comfortable. Has always done a great job diagnosing any complications I am having in order to get myself and my family the proper care.

Dr. Linker is great he has helped our family for over 11 years.

Dr Linker has been my doctor for several years now. He is always attentive to my needs, provides great bedside manners and his staff is always pleasant. If you are looking for a new doctor, I would highly recommend Dr Linker.

Dr Linker has been our family physician for over 10 years and we all think he is such a great doctor. He has a great bedside manner with our 4 children and always makes them feel at ease. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

I love having Dr. Linker as my family physician. He listens to my concerns and has helped us out with presciption issues. His staff has been great to deal with - and have been very friendly, too.

Very professional and very thorough. Dr. Linker answered all my questions and didn't make me feel rushed- my prescriptions are always accurate and sent to the correct pharmacy!

I have been a patient of Dr. Linker for many years. I have always found him to be very kind, courteous and professional. I heartily recommend him as a primary care physician. He's the best!

Best doctor I have ever seen. Great staff. I always get in within a day or so. Dr. Linker is always very thorough and is a good listener. I would highly recommend Dr. Linker to any of my friends.

I am still waiting to get reimbursed for a shot that I received in June 2020. The office refused to file because "they are not a Pharmacy", even though my insurance company said that they should have per contract. They don't like dealing with Medicare, so if you have Medicare, go elsewhere. In a three-way call the office manager was so obnoxious about her dislike of Medicare, that the Aetna rep hung up. I even sent them the form my Insurance Company wanted them sign, they refused and signed their own form, which was promptly rejected. I talked to Dr. Linker personally, he is oblivious to the office manager problem.

Dr. Linker told me that I should wait to have sex before marriage so as not to disappoint my husband on our wedding night, which I found deeply offensive and inappropriate. He discussed no other reason for practicing abstinence other than my future spouse’s preference. At another visit I told him that I was having severe anxiety attacks and had a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder from 2 different psychologists. This made it almost impossible for me to maintain a healthy diet since I could barely get out of bed. Rather than discuss this issue he told me that he was disappointed in me that I had gained weight, even though I was at a healthy BMI. He told me that if had I had not lost it by the time I came back he would be frustrated. I never went back. I had three visits with him and every time I was left in the exam room for an hour before he came in. No one checked on me and I actually thought that they had forgotten about me. If you are a woman do not go to this doctor!

Hi I am a patient of Dr Linker I wanted my nero test results from last Friday. I called on Monday to see if I could get them but no one could explain what I had and that I had to see a cardiologist . I asked if anyone could explain the results but I guess the gal that did call was home with covid 19 and when she did call her phone came up restricted. I am frustrated with the way this was handled. It seem like it was no big deal with them. But I was scared knowing it was my heart. I like Dr Linker but not the way this situation was handled. Very unsatisfied Linda Borowskiohi

Would not recommend, not satisfied with care.

Saw Dr Linker on a Thursday sent me to a local hospital for X-rays knee pain then on Friday developed Covid symptoms test came back positive on Wednesday. Then got billed over $200 for the hospital X-rays!! Not a good experience at all. Knee pain turned out to be sciatic nerve related!!

My husband was seeing Dr. Linker during his residency at a Family Practice inside Miami Valley Hospital. We started seeing a doctor friend of ours when Dr. Linker was in Cbus as a team doctor for a professional sports team. As soon as my husband heard he was back in the area and had established a practice he started seeing him again. Eventually our entire family made the jump over to Dr. Linker. We have absolutely zero complaints! Dr. Linker is so kind, gentle, a good listener and always professional. We love Dr. Linker and his office staff. We always recommend him to anyone searching for a physician. Thank you for so many years of awesome care for our family!

Current soon to be non-patient here. If you say your office is going to be open it should be open at all of your business hours. I have tried calling several times on this Friday from 13:58 until now which is 14:31. I get our office is closed message. This is not a way to "help" people.

Dr. Linker is an amazing physician. However, his office staff is absolutely horrible. I called to make an appointment, specifically told them what the appointment was for, but when I got there, they told me the doctor couldn’t see me for what I needed to be seen for.

I have always been able to talk to Dr. Linker and get my problems resolved! Coming to Healthlink Family Practice is like dealing with trusted family. Would not consider going anywhere else.

The staff is prifessional and kind. They have a servant heart for their patients. The facilities are clean and inviting. Dr. Linker is thorough, thoughtful and intelligent. I will recommend anyone to his practice.

I have been going to see DR. Linker since his practice opened MANY years ago. This man and his staff have been nothing but wonderful to me and my family. Any time I've been sick, their staff will work me in to see him....he's probably one of the most compassionate doctors in his field.

Several members of my family and I have been patients of Doctor Linker for many years. He is very easy to talk to and puts you at ease even in the face of difficult situations. I heartily recommend him as a general practitioner!

I personally have been a patient of Dr. Linker for the past 14 years. He continues to treat me with the utmost care and diligence. In this day, that is a lost art. He has been prompt, courteous, and professional across the board. He's even caught me off guard by spending extra time explaining my health care needs/procedures. After seeing him just last week, I received a personal call that evening from Dr. Linker making sure I was comfortable. Dr. Linker went above the call of duty. I am thankful for my treatment and will continue, without hesitation, to recommend Dr. Linker and his staff to others. I personally have been a patient of Dr. Linker for the past 14 years.

If you are terrible sick, not a good doctor. Not interested in growing or learning. Okay for a cold or something small. People deserve better.

Good guy, but not caring enough to read my blood test results. When I got my blood results back, the front desk called me to confirm that some of the tests had been flagged, but not sure why...

Dr. Linker has been my physician for a few years now. He helped me discover and treat my type 2 diabetes and blood pressure. Whenever I have needed him he has been there.

Great doctor! Very kind, compassionate, and throrough!

Dishonest about work related juries. He gets paid about $350.00 to write a paragraph about a patient he has never physically seen denying diagnostic testing .

Dr. Linker is nice and very like-able. I would invite him over for a bbq but would never want him as my doctor again. If you just need a flu shot and annual check up he should do. If you have anything more advanced he won't want to be involved and won't act as your advocate. He actually cut me off when I was telling him about my symptoms and told me "talk to your specialists". He also never followed up or checked to see how things were going. I was pretty much left to research what I was going thru and what specialists and tests I should have done. Hopefully he changes his way and realizes patients need somebody who they can turn to and be advised on what tests they should have done and who they should see.

Dr. Linker saved my husband’s life last month. My husband had been a little short of breath and weak. It was flu season and I thought my husband was developing a respiratory infection. But Dr. Linker recognized these subtle symptoms and ordered a CT scan that showed my husband had bilateral Pulmonary Embolisms (blood clots in both lungs). He was admitted to the ICU and discharged home several days later. He is doing well now, thanks to Dr. Linker! We highly recommend Dr. Linker!

Dr. Linker is the best doctor I have ever had. His staff as well as Dr. Linker make you feel comfortable and cared for. I recommend him to anyone I know that needs a doctor. He always made me feel better. I moved away and after a year have had no luck in finding a doctor I actually like going to. I am tempted to move back to Ohio jist to be under Dr. Linker's care again.
