About Dr. Larissa Lempert

In my professional experience as a neurologist I realized that the best way to approach my patients' neurological problems is to spend most of my time listening to my patients, understanding their concerns and responding with the best treatment options available. I want my patients to be informed about their neurological problems and treatments, because informed patients make better decisions about their health and well being. That is why I've included a section on my website covering common topics associated with neurology and common neurological problems. I encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern related to your neurological health. I appreciate the opportunity to care for my existing patients and welcome any new patients to join my practice.

Didn’t ask manny questions or have much to tell me. Seemed like a money grab to just order as many testsas possible.

Very dismissive, not willing to listen to what you have to say. Took 3 days for them to submit a procedurefor prior approval to insurance company - only to submit, let alone insurance processing time. Basically brushed me off, did not provide solutions or testing, said go to emergency if it gets worse. Well, why did I bother coming in then? Stay away.

Although professional, I don't feel like she made much effort to diagnose my concussion. I asked about stress and she offered an electro-therapy program she runs. I had heard enough to know that this was not the care I was looking for.

Dr. Lempert is very knowledgable and good at her job. She seems to have a holistic view of health and understands the human body at large, and I was impressed an encouraged by her observations of my lab tests and symptoms. I highly recommend her.

It was so quick! I didn’t learn much more than I did on Web md. There was physical examination of the area of complaint. No test of what movements caused pain, which did not. While she was nice, many questions remain. I am not sure, at this point, whether i will return.

Today was my frist day meeting DR. Lasrissa Lempert , her technician and one of her receptionist. They all listen to what I had to say and Dr. Laridsa Lempert wasted no time in ordering particular tests needed. She is very sweet & relaxed. I will be returning to Dr. Larissa Lempert continue with my follow up appointment.

An unsuccessful visit, was over charged even though they claimed to take my insurance, a pleasant enough visit with Dr Lempert but with no advice given other than to prescribe an exhorbitant amount of blood work. (Even the lab I went to was surprised by how many tests she asked for.) The doctor refused to give me any commentary about my persistent migraines although I came with my full list of directives and meds prescribed by my previous neurologist (who unfortunately no longer takes my insurance) After sending the blood work did not receive a call or any follow up from the doctor. My insurance was not able to recover the payment for the visit.

I went to her because she advertises that she is an expert on THE GAP diet. But when I asked her about it, she wouldn't tell me anything. She said she's a neurologist. Recommended I buy the book which I had.

She is doing some blood tests and nerve tests to see what are the next steps. I think this is a good approach. Hopefully, a simple diagnosis will be able to address my problem. Very pleasant and professional from everyone in the office.

She was nice but, all she recommend for me was a diet. I had to beg her to let me get an MRI because of my constant migraines. I will not be going back to her as I feel she does not specialize in migraines.

This was my first visit to a Neurologist and everyone in the office was very kind and courteous. Dr. Lempert took her time with me to ask many questions to start getting to the bottom of what I came to see her for. I was very pleased with her detail to attention and looking forward to continuing to work with her.
