Some issues Dr. Jennifer A. Linehan, MD can help you with:

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is the targeted use of extreme cold to destroy unhealthy or unwanted tissue. The doctor applies the cold on the skin or injects it through a needle to reach the inside of the body, where it freezes away the problem tissue. Cryotherapy is often used to remove minor skin problems such as warts or skin tags, and it is also used to treat some small tumors.

To achieve the cold temperatures needed for cryotherapy, liquid nitrogen or argon gas is passed through a tube, which becomes cold enough to freeze cells on contact. Alternatively, liquid nitrogen can be swabbed directly onto the skin or via a spray, which applies only a specific, small amount to the skin at a time.

Because the area treated is typically very small, cryotherapy is not usually painful. There may be a sensation of cold and possibly some slight discomfort. Cryotherapy is very fast and can easily be performed in a doctor's office. It also doesn't require stitches, because there is no cutting involved. These benefits make cryotherapy a good choice for many issues, including:

Common warts
Genital warts
Skin tags
Age spots
Some skin cancers
Cervical cancer
Prostate cancer
Retinoblastoma, cancer that occurs in the eye

Depending on the procedure, it usually takes three to four weeks to heal after cryotherapy. If it was done internally, patients may feel sore or have a small amount of swelling the first day afterwards. If cryotherapy was performed on the skin, patients will have a scab where their tissue was removed. Keep it clean and dry so it can heal.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard deposits that form in the kidneys, made up of minerals that are normally present in urine. They can vary in size, from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a nickel, occasionally even larger. Sometimes they lodge in the kidney, and sometimes they break free and make their way out through the urinary tract, which can be extremely painful.

Kidney stones can be smooth or jagged and are yellow to brown in color. They are mostly comprised of the minerals calcium, oxalate, and phosphorus. Examining the stones to see what they are made of can show what caused the stone to be formed in the first place. For example, a stone made of mostly calcium, which is the most common type, can happen any time the urine becomes too concentrated due to dehydration or a blockage in the kidney. A uric acid stone forms when acid levels in the urine get too high, usually due to excessive consumption of animal protein such as meat and fish. A struvite stone is a sign of certain infections, and a cystine stone can be due to a genetic disorder that raises the risk of kidney stones.

The most common symptom of kidney stones is pain, either in the back or lower abdomen, or severe pain when urinating. There may also be blood in the urine. Treatment for kidney stones depends on how large the stone is. Very small stones can pass out of the body on their own, and they do not require treatment other than drinking adequate water and taking pain killers. Larger stones need to be broken apart and removed. The main treatment options are:

Shock wave lithotripsy, which uses sound wave vibrations to break apart the stone
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or the use of a very tiny tool (like a wire inserted through the back) to break apart and remove the stone
Ureteroscopy, a thin tube inserted through the urethra and bladder to the stone, where tiny tools can grasp the stone and remove

People who have had one kidney stone are at risk of developing another. To reduce this risk, patients are given instructions specific to the type of stone they developed. Generally the instructions will include drinking more water to dilute the urine, but it may also involve lowering sodium intake or eating less meat.

Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery, using a tiny opening to get inside the body instead of making a large cut. It uses small tools attached to a thin robotic arm, which is controlled by the surgeon. Robotic surgery may be referred to by the specific kind of robot that is used. The most advanced robot currently in use is called the da Vinci, and surgery using it is sometimes called da Vinci surgery.

There are many benefits to robotic surgery, both for the patient and the surgeon. Robotic surgery allows for more precise movements and increased control during very delicate surgical procedures. This makes performing surgery accurately much easier for surgeons and reduces fatigue. The smaller 'hand' of the robot can enter the body via a much smaller opening, which reduces the risk of infection and scarring and leads to a faster recovery. The robotic hands also contain tiny moveable cameras among their tools, giving surgeons a much closer view of the procedure than would be possible with traditional surgery.

Dice que el staff habla español. Mentira. Me contestó una señora muy impaciente que no quiso ayudar transfiriendo a alguien que habla español. Aun así intenté marcar una cita para mi esposa que tiene dolor, y esa señora se mostró molesta porque no comprendía bien el inglés. Horrible, lamentable. No quiero nunca ese equipo.

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional care I received from everyone at Saint John's. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen, heard, and supported. Every staff member I encountered was kind, professional, and genuinely compassionate - but I especially want to thank Dr. Jennifer Linehan.Dr. Linehan was an absolute angel during one of the scariest moments of my life. Her clarity, urgency, and warmth gave me so much comfort and trust in the process. She explained everything in detail, treated me with the utmost respect, and took decisive action that ultimately brought me peace of mind. Her compassion, confidence, and human touch truly made all the difference.I also want to thank the surgical team, nurses, and everyone involved - you treated me not just as a patient, but as a whole person. You brought light into a very dark moment in my life, and I will never forget that.Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Linehan literally saved my life, she took my case when another Hospital could not handle my medical emergency, there IS NO BETTER DR. Than Dr Linehan she's caring, thoughtful, and really cares, I've been in the medical field for over 40 years and you just don't find doctors like her, most are on a time clock 5min an there done, not Dr. Linehan, your hospital is extremely "BLESSED' to have her, I'd follow her anywhere she practiced, I really just can't say enough about her that would do her justice, I'm just so blessed that she's my doctor, and the doctor I work for her sends his patients to her, so that tells you something right there, I thank you for allowing me to express just how much I Love her!!!! She's wonderful, anyone lucky enough to see her will feel the same way. It's rare to have someone so smart and also caring.

Dr Linehan is God sent, she goes above an beyond the call of duty, I'm so Blessed to have her as my Doctor, she practice old school way which you don't see anymore, she responds to call, answers all your questions, I've been in the medical field for 45 years there's been a lot of changes so it's extremely rare to find a Doctor who really care, and listens, she is so thoughtful as well, my last unexpected surgery she knew I was in the E.R for quite awhile waiting to fine out when they could put me on the surgical list, she herself went an came back with a turkey sandwich, now what Dr does that it was like 11pm or so, she could have easily had someone else do it, it's that personal tough that means so much to a patient, I will always be grateful to her for taking such great care of me.

Dr. Linehan is very experienced, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. She was referred to me by my OBGYN and I am thrilled with Dr. Linehan as age really listens and I feels she really cares. I had been seeing who was supposedly a very well respected urogynecologist for 10 years and did not feel heard or respected. I am so glad that I am now a patient of Dr Linehan...Her team of assistants the day of my procedure were all very professional and very caring too. Highly recommend!!!! The only thing that I would say needs improvement is the receptionist on the phone. Their demeanor could be friendlier. And it would be appreciated if I would get call backs in response to the Important question that I posed to them regarding my procedure.

This was my first appointment with this Provider so all I can say so far is that I was impressed with how smoothly the transition went from my previous Provider to Dr. Linehan. I didn't have to go through unnecessary hassle to get my appointment scheduled or to get my records transferred. It's difficult enough to change from one dr to another, so I really appreciated that. Dr Linehan seems very personable and kind, and she made sure I got multiple follow-up appointments from the get-go. AND she was especially kind enough to fit the appointments in to my tight travel schedule.

Dr. Linehan is a caring doctor who when she mets with me started by telling me that I look good and healthy even I am meeting with her to remove a renal cancer, she explained all my options and the alternative ways of the options to make sure not to start dialysis which is not easy on my body right after the surgery, she contacted my nephrologist and the renal transplant center to make sure that the partial nephrectomy is the best option for my case, she is offering the extra mile in caring of her patients, I appreciate her, thank you Dr. Linehan

Dr Linehan is a wonderful physician. She is a great listener and I feel I can talk with her openly. Her explanations and recommendations are in plain English and very easy to understand and act on. Some docs I have had in my 80+ years talk down to me and they areon rtheir high horse. These docs should emulate Dr. Linehan. She is the best!!! One other point: when zhe is treating me, I feel like I am the only patient she has that day; I never feel like she is rushing to get the appt over with so she can get to the next patient.

Excellent care received from the time I arrived, was prepped by an RN and during a painless procedure done by a compassionate DrJennifer Linehan, who possesses gentle exceptional skills & expertise. The test I have done has a potential for being very painful. It was not painful. I'm no longer afraid to receive this care /procedure every 3 months by this outstanding Dr. & her clinical team of RN's. I am hoping for a positive outcome in the near future and for the rest of my life.

Doctor Linehan took the time to ensure we had all current information concerning my condition. The tests we ran that morning were not available in time for my appointment but the nursing staff notified me Doctor Linehan would be with me as soon as the test results came in. She discussed with me my post surgical progress and what I can expect for the future. Fortunately her surgical expertise has improved my quality of life. Thank you Dr. Linehan!!
