“My overall experience with Dr. Lynch and his staff has been ultra-positive. Everyone on staff is friendly; this includes the receptionist, who greets each patient pleasantly during check- in. The nurses, doctors, and radiology staff are concerned about painful joints. He performed 2 successful knee implant surgeries, I was given good aftercare. All-in-all, I received great care from Dr Patrick Lynch and his staff. And, I've returned to Northwest Orthopaedic Specialists for joint care over the last 6 years.” — Sharon N.
