Dr. Richard Alan Lingreen, MD

This guy is a really self absorbed azzhat! Find yourself another doctor!

This dr knows medicine

I have to laugh when I see those writing comments because I see them almost ever time I am in the office. Another one bites the dust. Dr l puts up with no one who not in his office to get better. Trying new things and finding the best options for you. He will work with you if your willing to follow and try different things. He golden.

Dr. Lingreen is THE WORST doctor I have ever seen in my life. He doesn’t care about what you have to say nor does he take the time to listen. As others have said he has a God complex. He is unfeeling, unkind, and unwilling to let you speak or be a part of your pain management. He belittled a berated me. And he maybe if I was lucky spent 5 minutes with me. He over books and money is all he cares about. He doesn’t care about his patients. Stay away. The only people at his office who were nice were the staff. And they even commented on what an horrible person he was. Find someone else. You’ll regret seeing him. Trust me.

Will refuse to look at your records, will belittle you and claim you are LYING about the pain you are in, will call you an addict (WITHOUT any medical records review, mind you). THIS is the type of doctor that SHOULD NOT be in pain management whatsoever.

If you have any type of pain Dr. Lingreen is the man to see. I was terrified to go after some of the reviews I've read and my horrific experience with a certain office in Louisville. Dr. Lingreen couldn't have been any more helpful, he thoroughly looked over my charts and reports, spent a lot of time with me explaining my diagnosis and making me feel completely at ease. His office staff is terrific, I wish I knew the name of the nurse I had, she was super friendly and really went over my medical history with me. My opinion is if you go in and treat the staff with respect, that's what you will get back. I now have some hope that maybe I don't have to live in such constant pain, I have hope, something I haven't had in a long time. Thank you to everyone in the office for putting my fears to rest and especially Dr. Lingreen.

This man has studied three quarters of his life, in perusing his passion too help people. Thus, he gets a bad review from obvious people that did wrong. I've been with Dr Lingreen for 2 and a half years. I have seen the stern attitude people claim, but put yourself in his shoes. A very smart man that practices in the state capital of Kentucky. Brains is what this man operates on. I thank him every time I see him

Horrible experience. He has no compassion. Had to wait in office 3 hours after appt was scheduled. I cried all the way home. I felt so put down and unheard. He sees 70 patients a day.

After waiting for 2 hours to see the doctor I was treated like I was only there to get pain meds! I have never had an addiction issue in my life! I understand the need to be cautious but don't automatically judge me. I will never be back.

This idiot thinks he is God with a prescription pad! Doctors work for us, not the other way around! He is paid to take care of people and patients need to realize that! This doctor should do his job but he schedules so many in one day that there is no seating available at times! How cruel to do this to people in pain. Just as others having said he doesn't look at your medical records and NEVER physically examined me. Everyone is different and some things work better than others to help your pain. I have had surgery after surgery to try and get well but it has left me in more pain. He doesn't care! He should not be able to practice. He is the only pain doctor in Frankfort so he treats everyone like a dog. Several visits I wasn't put in an exam room I was seated at a table that was surrounded by staff. How unprofessional is that? He needs to be reported to the medical board. I hate his guts!

Dr Lingreen is a very good and compassionate Doctor. His staff is great as well.

My medical record is inaccurate. Does not put appropriate patient issues in medical record. No concern about mental or new physical issues. You sit in the waiting room for hours, when you get to the room, he comes in signs prescriptions and leaves. 3-5 minutes with the doc. Water in the waiting room but no cups. Sees so many people in a day it is like a cattle call..........

He told me that I was going to be placed in a nursing home after he got done with me after 3 mouths I was just about there he said my god was in heaven but he was god on earth.

Dr, Lingreen took great care to ease the pain in my shoulder. I feel 45 again. Hee hee His staff are kind too, especially Karen and Cassie.

If u are considering this dr., he's a bad choice! All the reviews on here are true. Amazingly, I've been going to him for a year now, but only because I don't know a good dr. to go to. Working on that! I'm 45 & in legitimate pain. Now I'm taking time to read reviews on these dr. He is rude, cruel, & not concerned with your health. He told me to get over it & move on in pain!! Right now his office is shut down, will be for over a month! That right there shows he doesn't care anything about his patients! Just left them all hanging with no notice. Wonder if he's in some kind of trouble?? What real dr. just leaves all their patients? He does. I've been suffering through this holiday because of him not caring, what happened to dr. taking a oath?

When my primary retired, I was referred to this doctor. I have been to nearly every specialist in a fifty mile radius. I've had all the intervention treaments (different shots, chiropractic, massage, physical therapy) and after twenty years, the doctors have found the medication that gives me some quaility of life - not great but I can enjoy it. When I went this office, I was shuffled through. They took my blood pressure, weight, and urine test and I waited in his office. The green pad was already sitting there for him which was standard apparently. He walked in and saw the medication I was taking and said he would not perscribe that. I tried to ask how he could help me; I'm in legitimate pain and was seeking help. I tried to tell him that I was on that medication after twenty years of trying other treatment but I just needed help. He didn't read my chart or look at any page except the medications I'm taking. I had brought a pile of records with me. He did not listen to me. He did not try to help me. He just said, "I won't persribe this" and I ask what alternatives he might have and he said he didn't have time or didn't care. It was hard to tell as he was already walking out the door. He just left me sitting there trying to find my way out. No one said a word to me It was the most humilating experience. He did not try to help me an his staff ignored me after he left. I've been told since, that he is know for being mean, even to those who work for him. Stay as far as you can away from this man. He will belittle you and treat you like dirt and will not try to help at all. He didn't look at my records or examine me. The good ones are afraid of sanctions and this pill pusher (only up to a limit) is still in business. I would like to rate him lower than a one.

I should have known better. The only good thing about this dr was his staff, they were always very kind and apologetic (about the wait time) Usual time of wait was at least 2 hrs. Waiting room full of stinky and unkept people. Then he gives me 5 minutes if I am lucky. I found him to be inconsiderate and pompus. After numerous visits hoping for better treatment I won't return.
