Dr. Lempel was very kind and understanding from the start. He was thorough and efficient and made me feel at ease despite not having seen a PCP in almost a decade! Highly recommend.

Dr. Lempel sat with me in his office before he even looked and my vitals and did something really important--he LISTENED to me. He really took time with me before examining me.

I found my new PCP. Dr Lempel is very kind, asks questions, gives good information and very knowledgeable. Wait time was tolerable. Parking can be tricky if your looking for free parking.
Verified patient
Very nice doctor.
I have consistently liked Dr. Lempel. He;s efficient but also supportive. Wait time for this visit was minimal, although it CAN take awhile to get an appointment.
Verified patient
The visit was okay. I had a long list of items that needed to be talked about. He typed on his computer a bunch, which I understand is SOP now, but I didn't feel like I got any answers. He ran tests and the lab results were easy to bring up. I emailed him within that site, which is a feature I like, but his first response was unclear, so I asked again and clarified my question, and his response was a capital NO - very abrupt, and rude - not sure if I should even go to the follow up - don't really see the sense in it? Will questions actually be answered? Who knows, do I want to find out?
As a nurse myself, he has excellent bedside manner and I was seen on time. Spent time examining me although I had no health issues. Came for an annual physical.
Verified patient
Very good as always.
