“The experience with the doctor was excellent. I was not seen at the appointment time I have scheduled with Zocdoc as the hospital is not aware of it. After seeing the email about appointment confirmation, they asked to come after 5 hours as thats the only availablae slot. My morning appointment has become an afternoon one and the wait is also a little longer at the office. The doctors are excellent and nurses are awesome but the front office reception is not so great. I would recommend calling the hospital to confirm the appointment booked through Zocdoc prior to visiting the hospital directly.”

Dr Lessner was very knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated him re-explaining a few items when I needed clarity and helping me understand my issues and treatment process. Did not feel rushed or "like a number" rolling thru. Thank you!

This office is very clean and friendly, I met with Troy Diehl, DO and he was very professional and knowledgeable. In fact, so knowledgeable he asked about a prior injury, I mentioned, that he would like to look into further.

Dr. Mark Lessner is fantastic.
ZocDoc stinks because your reasons for requesting an appointment apparently do not make their way to the office your trying to schedule the appointment with.

Dr. Lessner was nice and very informative. He is the third surgeon that I have seen, and he was patient and answered all of my questions.
February 10, 2025Jennifer S.Verified patient
Mark is a wonderful doctor. He is very patient and makes sure that every concern is addressed. I am currently in recovery from surgery and the experience has been very pleasant so far. His assistant is great as well. Wait times are a bit inconvenient at times but understandable.

December 8, 2022Billy S.Verified patient
The wait time was unacceptable with no communication from the staff. I was originally booked to see the MD and was contacted by the office to reschedule with the PA. I am a new patient. If the provider is running behind, it is now expected to be notified. My time is just a valuable as any medical provider and I do not have an extra hour in my day to wait for a late provider, especially at 10am.

Professional, direct and to the point. X-rays were done quick and doc arrived in my room within minutes to discuss results and options.

Dr. Lessner is a very personal and knowledgeable guy. I've been seeing him for recurrent frozen shoulder issues for over 10 years and he has been very helpful in relieving the pain and prescribing an aggressive therapeutic regimen to shorten the duration of the very bothersome issue.
April 29, 2020Gil E.Verified patient
Dr Lessner is a professional who takes the time to listen to his patient and explain the course of action necessary for treatment. His staff is courteous and kind.
April 9, 2020Juanita V.Verified patient
Nice offices with courteous and attentive staff. I like their all digital appointment setting and check in. Dr. Lessner was awesome, listened to my request and treated me for a sprained knee. I would strongly recommend him if you need an orthopedic doctor.
March 19, 2020Fred H.Verified patient
Dr Lessner took time to explain the course of treatment necessary and why we need to go this route. I felt at ease and comfortable and his staff was so friendly.
March 2, 2020Juanita V.Verified patient
I did not feel comfortable at all once the doctor actually came in. I waited 45 minutes after my appointment time to be taken back and was seen longer by the nurse than the doctor. Thankfully! Because she was nice, but the doctor creeped me out. The front office staff was extremely rude and the check out person rolled her eyes at me several times because I was asking her to complete my check out when she wanted to converse with her coworker about her Thanksgiving festivities.

Had a wonderful experience at Performance Orthopaedics. I got right in (didn’t have to wait) and everyone in the office was smiling and helpful. The Dr was incredibly knowledgeable and able to quickly diagnose my shoulder issue. Highly recommend this place!
