The office staff was great. I felt the doctor did not have the personality that I feel most comfortable. He was very matter of fact. I also didn't like the fact that he wore a mask. I would have liked to see his face. I'm sure he's a fine doctor, it was just his personality and mine just didn't mesh.

My feelings are that the doctor had a poor "bedside manner" that he seemed to me to be very arrogant and lacking in empathy for patient's discomfort.

I have always had good experiences at Dr Lellman's office. He is a great doctor always smiling and is great with patients. I have seen other orthopedic doctors in the past and would never return to them. I would see Dr Lellman before anyone else.
