Dr. Lem is the absolute best doctor I have ever seen. Like so many others have said, he will work for and with you like a warrior. I wish I could see him for any and everything because there is and never will be a doctor that treats their patients as well as he does. Every doctor (especially specialty doctors) should take a lesson in life from Dr. Lem. Saint Luke's should as well.

I feel as if Dr. Lem is part of my family! He has an extraordinary intellect and he approaches every issue as if he were a warrior fighting for his patients. He is happy to talk to famiy members as well as the patient. ( He came to the pre op room to meet our famiy as we were waiting for my husband's biopsy results). I am very particular about the Physicians that treat my family. I can honostly say that I have never known a Docotr that is as kind, loving, dedicated, and intelligent as Dr. Lem. He has made our journey much easier by knowing we are working with the best of the best! Karen and Lynd

Dr. Lem is the best doctor ever, very caring very, very concerned he listen to what your concerns are. I an incident with my primary care physician and all I needed was some methyl prednisone to be called in but he told me to go to the ER. It was on a Friday I called Dr. Lem's office he was gone for the day but his on call partner called me in a prescription within an hour after taking the medication and I was a hundred percent better. That's what I like about Dr. Lem and in his office they know how to take care of you with no questions asked. Dr. Lem has the best bedside manner that I've seen in a long time and I think it carries over with the rest of staff in that office because everyone is really nice and friendly in that office.

After seeing many board certified asthma/allergy doctors for a continuing problem Dr. Lem diagnosed a mitral valve prolapse that needed surgery. We have continued on together since then. He is the smartest, kindest, best doctor I have ever had the fortune to know. I love you Dr. Lem and thank you for being my doctor.
