Harold D. Lesser, MD

How your appointment goes depends on his mood, and if it isn't good, you're going to get his "ugly" side. If he's in a good mood, you will see him as caring and kind. I've seen both sides. My first appointment with him, he knew I was driving up from Philadelphia since his office is close to my family's home. He told me he would work with me should I never need him since I'm driving from so far away. He was kind, caring, and I left the "meet and greet" appointment knowing I would see him again. For my second appointment, I verified my appointment day and time before leaving Philadelphia. I showed up apparently a half hour late. I honestly don't know if I wrote it down wrong or if the nurse told me the wrong time, but it didn't matter. End result was I missed the appointment. After some debate, they said I could wait the day out to see if the rest of his appointments came. I waited three hours and all of his patients showed up. I asked his staff if there was any possibility… he could just answer an important question for me that would take two minutes even if it were in the waiting room. (I have Myotonic Dystrophy and Neurologists with this knowledge are hard to come by.) He came out and harshly berated me for about 10-15 minutes. Through tears, I tried to explain but he spoke over me and left the waiting room as quick as he came. I didn't deserve this behavior. No one does. Especially after I was nothing but nice to him and his staff. If you are going to see him, check on his mood first. If he's in a bad mood, please don't see him. In fact, don't see him at all because no doctor with this kind of behavior is worth it. If you don't believe me, check his other reviews. They are spot on. This person should not be a doctor until he adopts a better behavior and that's IF he can get past his ego to see his problem.

Undermined my symptoms and made me feel like a child asking for candy. All I wanted was help finding a diagnosis for my debilitating symptoms. He came across as condescending, rude, and arrogant. I felt completely belittled after our appointment. After waiting months for this appointment, he has no planned testing for me. Many other doctors TOLD ME to see a neurologist. I need answers and someone to help me!! Now I have ato find another one who will actually test me to figure out what is going on. Unbelievable.

Dismissive of patients concerns Tells patients how they feel, judges

nice gentleman who gave thorough explanation of condition

no help...offers only same old same old.

I have been seeing Dr Lesser for years and I feel I can trust him. He is very prompt and can be somewhat hurried at times. I never felt that he had talked down to me or was condescending in any way any time that I have ever seen him. He has not steered me wrong.

I just met dr. Lesser today. I thought he was a wonderful doctor and a very friendly person. I would recommend him to anybody.

I have been receiving care for migraines at this office for 2 years. I don't disagree with others that complain about his need for punctual patients...but really people, just write down that your appointment is 15 min earlier than scheduled. You will never wait more than 5 min in the waiting room because of his punctuality. He calls me personally to make sure that my medication side effects are under control, he is cordial with me, and always follows up to make sure that I am comfortable. I am pleased with this provider and his staff!

Dr. Lesser and his office staff run a very "tight ship". I've never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting room before being called for my appointment. My condition is a very difficult one requiring lots of testing and treatments at various medical facilities around the country. Dr. Lesser, and his staff, have

This guy is a jerk. The comments rude, condescending and arrogant are spot on. He treats his patients like ignorant children and seems to have no concern for them.
