Dr. Lerner was kind and thorough. This was my first appointment with him, and he spent over 15 minutes asking me questions and answering my own questions, which is more than the typical 30 second in-the-door-out-the-door doctor. He had great bedside manner in that he could tell when I was worried about certain things and he'd make an appropriate joke to lighten the mood.

The atmosphere in the office is very friendly and professional. Dr. Lerner is very personable, kind and patient. His "bedside manner" is very comforting. I am so glad I found him!

Dr Lerner's office employees are simply unpleasant and in addition they are liars...! Obviously he is not in control and he is listen to them blindly all the time...? Again, I wouldn't recommend to see this office to anyone...!

He was thorough and nice.
Dr Lerner seemed to be very knowledgable, and was a very thorough diagnostician. Very pleasant 'bedside' manner, made mae feel at ease.
Dr. Lerner took the time to listen. He provided me with his professional advice, but respected my right as a patient to decide what was best for myself. He understood that each patient's experiences are different and impact on each individual's personal medical decisions. He used understandable language to explain various options. He spoke directly to me and did not spend our consultation time looking at the computer screen.
Very good doctor, very patient and thorough.
Verified patient
Visit was very good nice place very nice people.
Verified patient
I've visited Dr.Lerner's multiple times now. He seems to be knowledgeable and reasonably thorough. However, I continue to deal with a yet to be diagnosed issue that has me concerned, and Dr. Lerner seems like he rather not be bothered by it. Not very comforting or helpful when you're looking for answers. I think i'll look for a new PCP at this point. Btw, I'm a pharmacist and deal with physicians all the time.
Staff very courteous and efficient. Dr. Lerner does not rush, explains procedures and conditions in understandable terms, and is very thorough. I've made him my primary care physician I highly recommend him.
