Dr. Mark Lencke, MD

Dr. Lencke saw our 21 year old son with a rare genetic seizure disorder that left him intubated in the hospital for a week. This was our post stay visit and we had a long list of questions and concerns. He walked in fully prepared, eager to assess him and very patiently and thoroughly answered all of our questions. We could not have asked for a better experience. I almost cancelled the appointment after reading these reviews but desperate to have questions answered, we decided to risk it and we are all SO happy we did.

He is full of his own ego.In a hurry.Did not listen to me.Would not let me ask questions.

Dr. Lencke was thorough, informative and encouraging. I left feeling very reassured.

He has no bedside manner. Worst experience ever. If you want to leave with absolutely no questions answers, then I recommend seeing him.

Staff was nice on the phone but then Dr would not allow me to be a part of my mother's appointment after I asked in advance. What a horrible example of what is wrong with our medical system. Now they can bill medicare so I guess they are happy. Colossal waste of time and effort.

He was impersonal and unfriendly to begin with. He barely listened to what I had to say regarding my symptoms, and the bit he heard he didn't seem to care. He prescribed me migraine medicine because "1 in 5 women suffer from migraines". I don't have migraines. He refused to give me a referral to a sleep specialist even though he was sure I needed one. Avoid.

Worst doctor ever. My mother was a new patient and with her memory issues, she could not answer his questions. When we tried to help provide information around the problems we saw and he was rude and didn't want to listen to our input. He basically wrote a new prescription and was done. We tried to stop him to ask questions about her anxiety; basically he barked "don't we all have anxiety in this world" and left.

I was extremely disappointed with my appointment with “dr.” Lencke. I’ve never experienced such a lack of bed manor from a doctor. He was so dismissive of what I had to say and wanted me out of his office as quickly as possible. Run, don’t walk, out of his office if you have an appointment. It was a waste of my time and I can guarantee it will be a waste of yours too.

I was under Dr. Lencke's care several years ago for unexplained seizures. One Saturday morning, while under his care mind you, I woke to find I could not see out of one eye. I looked up Dr. Lencke in the Columbia phone book and was quite panicked as to what it could be that was wrong with me. Surprisingly, a female answered the phone number I dialed and told me Dr. Lencke was in to please hold on, I had obviously reached his residence. He came to the phone from the yard and when I explained who I was and what I was calling about, he only wanted to know how I got the phone number! I told him that I found it in the phone book. He then told me that if I wished to speak to him further to make an appointment and hung up the phone. I see these other reviews for how compassionate this so called doctor is. Well I'm here to tell you that Dr. Mark K. Lencke's Hippocratic Oath is only good during normal business hours. If that appeals to you, knock yourself out folks. He's a gem.

I have Trigemenial Neuralgia. It took forever to have it diagnosed and had been treated by several doctors. It was not until I found and visited Dr. Lencke that I got the treatment that I needed. He listened to me and spent time to understand my pain and frustration with lack of relief for years. In my opinion he is worth the hour drive that I travel for the treatment that I receive from him.

I went to visit this doctor upon the recommendation of my primary care physician. The doctor was extremely rude, disrespectful and dissmissive of my symptoms. I will not be returning and would never refer anyone to him

Closed early for thanksgiving without notifying "phone answering service". Was instructed to call this day to get MRI results before leaving country for 2 weeks. I call and get answer from person who would not give results and would only respond to emergencies. They did not know if the office was closed or not. Would not recommend this office. Sad given the doctor was ok.

I had left 4 stars for dr lencke & 1 star for his staff. i'm changing his to 1 star. I've had dr lencke neglect to send my scrip for migraine meds (he put me on a 3-week no OTC meds regimen; only option was that scrip); I called repeatedly for his office to call it in before a 3-day wkend; they were horribly rude when I did reach them, then STILL didn't call it in, then left early for the whole weekend. answ service wasn't allowed to take messages, so couldn't even get on-call doc to send scrip.

I read the reviews and was hesitate to go, but all the reviews did not reflect him. He is kind and compassionate. He listened to everything I had to say. I would recommend him to anyone.
