First time seeing him for consultation so can't really say my experience is official but so far so good. He spent more time with me than my waiting time so that's a good plus.

Dr. Lerch was very thorough. He took the time to listen before he proceeded, and correctly diagnosed the issue.

I think he is best for simple allergy issues, he rushes things to much for everything else.

Truly awful

I had to convince him of my issue and was super dismissive at first. By the end he was a good listener but after a month of waiting for my follow up test to be scheduled I have booked an appointment with another doctor.

Great committed team !
February 4, 2019Elizabeth F.Verified patient
Do NOT go to this doctor or office practice unless you're desperate. It look over 2 hours to see the doctor and they shuffle you back and forth from room to room during that time. I went for vertigo/sinus infection and after 2 hours the doctor sent me to someone else who couldn't actually asses my vertigo at that time and needed to reschedule my tests for another day. (Which I just cancelled- as I will not go back) Go anywhere else for more efficient help!

December 3, 2018Sireen S.Verified patient
Wait time is too long. Waited 40+min after my appointment time to see doctor. Had to alert staff at the front to finally get ball rolling. Then waited in a second waiting room for a hearing test after seeing doc for 10 min. Total time with doctor or medical staff = 15min. Total wait time = 1:15. He is a fairly curt and sarcastic guy and a bit rough in how he treats patients (began painfully cleaning my ear with little forewarning) . If you are looking for a more personal touch, he is not for you. Time will tell whether he is good technically. Plus side was for the most part staff were friendly and professional despite being short handed. Medical staff doing the hearing test were lovely.
October 5, 2018Charlie P.Verified patient
Very nice n’ knowledgeable doctor.
August 16, 2018Ernesto A.Verified patient
Blunt, effective, no-nonsense but certainly not a jerk.
He solved my problem quickly and thoroughly and threw in a hearing test, just to be sure.
He also suggested that I come back in six months for a follow-up. I definitely will.
August 1, 2018Alexander A.Verified patient
This office charged me for a procedure that i never received. Theyre unavaible when you try to contact them via telephone. Theyre taking an unreasonably long time to convey my results
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
He was amazing! He was able to assist me with issues I had that my primary care physician was not. He was funny, personable and easy going. I would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone that needs an ENT specialist!
April 17, 2018Brandon M.Verified patient
My visit lasted not even 2 minutes, all was very quick and kind of very cold.
I come from a family of doctors and i personally worked in hospitals.
The bill was insane.

More than 1 year agoBasil W.Verified patient
I am in for severe congestion and saw the doctor three times, the first time he prescribed a nasal spray, it didn't work second time a round of steroids, it didn't work and the last time he told me we've tried almost everything and it doesn't seem that bad so we will give you the same spray as before (the one that didn't work) and to come back in two months. I probably won't be back to see him, especially after he told me that most New Yokers have some type of congestion.

Highly professional doctor
August 29, 2017Sam M.Verified patient
Dr. Lerch was not very interested in hearing the full story or explaining his treatment. After I asked a question he just bluntly said: Do you want to hear again? He wanted to put me on a treatment that I already received twice within a month. He did not present a different option. It was a take it or leave it. I am a RN. After I mentioned that his bedside manner got better. Having worked with a lot of doctors I think he was highly unprofessional and not open for questions. Very disappointing.
