I've been with Dr. Lehner for 23 years. I could never have been any treated any better than I have been. He's done such a great job on me and he's a very passionate and loves his patients. Thank you.

I honestly felt like it was a waste of my copay. I need answers from someone and still got nowhere! I felt my issues was not looked into enough! Doctor and staff was very nice, but that's not what I needed. Pretty much left in tears! I had high expectations from this visit and did not get that. I'm done wasting my money on doctors and this visit proved why. Honestly it was a waste of my copay and wish I never went!! Felt it was not looked into enough.
