I have been going to Dr Lehman for several years have had 2 knee arthroscopies for torn meniscus with excellent. Had not been to him for several years when I had trouble with my leg and he remembered me. He is personable and the most professional MD I have ever been to. I would highly recommend him to anyone as I have.

Dr. Lehman has given me a new lease on life. He has performed successful biocartilage surgery on both of my knees. With severe arthritis, I have been able to keep both joints and live a full and pain free life!

Dr. Lehman operated on both of my shoulders. He did my right one in 2014 and my rotator cuff was shredded. He told me that it was barely hanging on. He is an excellent surgeon. He repaired my left shoulder 2 years later. I have mobility in both shoulders. He is awesome!

Excellent doctor and staff. Have recommended him over and over again. Repaired my shoulder, and followed up until all was well. I can't say enough about how pleased I was with Dr. Lehman.

I've had 3 knee surgeries now with Dr Lehman. His professionalism is extraordinary and I've always had the confidence in knowing, if he says something he has been 100% spot on.

the staff incorrectly told me I was in network, then charged me $600 for a nurse check up-- dr. lehman wasn't around and didn't have time for me they also never submitted the claim to my insurance despite the fact that I provided them a copy of my card. Carla, the office manager, in particular dropped the ball on many things

He seemed more interested In catering to workman's compensation patients than to me. I had been waiting longer and my apt was before theirs but the doc saw them first - frustrating.
