My case is very complicated (a medical mystery) and I went to Dr. Lesman to help me work through it in hopes that he will be more supportive and forward thinking that past gastro's have been. I'm determined to find the underlying issue to my problems and he was extremely patient with me. He also seemed interested in doing further testing with me to help determine what is wrong (which is surprisingly something that is hard to come by in my case). Dr. Lesman also was caring enough to think through other problems that other doctors haven't discussed with me. He made suggestions and thought out loud so I could better understand the range of issues I could be dealing with. I really appreciated him sharing possibilities with me because it showed me that he was willing to look into different things that other doctors have not. I felt that I was in good hands with Dr. Lesman and look forward to solving the mystery so I can get the treatment I've been needing for the past 13 years.

I would definitely return to Dr. Lesman. He was very knowledgeable and great with metaphors. I felt very comfortable in his presence and with his care and would trust my health with him in the event that my issues persist.
