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 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.
January 19, 2017Jessica B.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.
