Okay, so let's be honest: I truly despise going to the dentist. I hate the smells, the fingers in my mouth, and the fear that I'm going to need something more than my biannual cleanings. With that caveat out there, I can say that Dr. Linderman's practice makes going to the dentist as comfortable as possible. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming and Dr. Linderman himself is a kind person. I like to see the hygienist for cleanings because she is so gentle.
For a dentist, this business gets five stars. I can't really believe I'm giving any dentist five stars but they have earned it. One of my favorite things about the doctor is that he doesn't seem like he's out to get your money. He doesn't push for unnecessary work and allows you as the patient to decide if you want to get elective work completed. For example, I had an old filling that had cracked but it wasn't causing me any pain nor doing any damage to my tooth. He let me decide when I wanted to fix it--and because I try to avoid dental work at all costs, I opted for 18 months later and only then because I didn't want to risk it falling apart unexpectedly. He didn't judge or make me feel badly about it but instead worked me in to his schedule as soon as I decided I was ready.
He is located in Carmel, just off of Rangeline by the Carmel United Methodist church. read more
