Dr. Lederhaas and the entire staff were beyond amazing. From Angel at the front desk to Tony, Shelly, Kristen and Dr. Lederhaas in the procedure room, I couldn't have had a better experience. Dr. Lederhaas has a great bedside manner and was very calming.

He was very personal at the clinic but a wk. later when I told him the injection in my spine didn't work he became very defensive and took it very personally . I was not blaming him but he did not take it well at all. Would not return, only because of how he turned !

I found Dr. Lederhass to be very attentive and had a great bedside manner. He was very informative, explained the procedure clearly and had a great sense of humor. I give him a real thumbs up!

Dr lederhass did a epidural and did not believe that the versed was not working and kept saying it was all the while she was in extreme pain. Pt even told doc she was on ambien and if he knew anything about pharmacology he would know that drug increases your tolerance to benzodiazepines. He has terrible bedside manner and is arrogant.
