Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I am completely clueless why Dr. Lehnert has such high reviews, as my experience was poor from the start. All of my concerns were blew off, even as a 4th time mom. I ended up having to buy my own urine testing strips, and took myself to L&D due to rising blood pressure and significant protein in my urine. The on call doctor at the hospital immediately induced me at 37 weeks due to preeclampsia. Oh, and if you want him delivering your baby, best hope you deliver M-F before 4pm!!

I received the best of care from Dr. Lehnert during my third and final pregnancy. He made every visit quick while never making me feel rushed. Dr, Lehnert answered all my questions and has a very kind bedside manner. I was a little nervous going with a male OBGYN but he made me more comfortable than either of the two females I had for my previous pregnancies.

Amazing Doctor! He delivered my first baby. I was so devistated that our insurance switched I made my husband check out of pocket hospital costs!!! He was so insightful at every appointment. Helped my husband feel very included. The two had so much fun talking during appointments and my delivery, which I really enjoyed. The office has a great family atmosphere! He even came in to deliver when he wasn't on call.

I saw Dr. Lehnert before, during, and after my pregnancy. When I was trying to figure out the right birth control method for me, he sat down with me for 30 minutes and discussed all of my options. During my pregnancy, he provided exactly the right amount of care and information. Enough to answer all of my questions and ease my concerns, but not so much that it was overwhelming. I continue to see him and would not hesitate to recommend him!

Dr. Lehnert has been our OB for both our children. He has always been great to work with and answered any questions or concerns we have ever had. Always a friendly and understanding personality. His staff are very great to deal with as well. Can't say enough great things about our experiences.

He is a great. It never seems like he is in a rush, will answer any questions you have. He was wonderful for my whole pregnany. My second pregnany was a miscarriage and he was very helpful and so considerate. Best ob I have had.

He seems great because he has a fantastic bed side manner however.... I was never offered vaccines that are necessary in the third trimester... I miscarried with my 2nd baby and it was handled VERY poorly. His nurse is terrible and doesn't give directions well and they never saw me after my miscarriage. I switched providers and had another miscarriage and things were handled much better.. The over all experience with them threw me into depression and anxiety and that was barely handled as well.

He is the best! He is not only personable but very knowledgable & I trust him 100% with mine & my child's life. I wish I would have had him deliver my 1st baby and maybe things would have went more smooth. I am definitely coming back to him for the 3rd baby. I highly, highly recommend him.
