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.

This doctor does not care. He will not help you find providers who take your insurance if you have an HMO. He tried to say there is no nutritionist who could help with colon issues which is an obvious lie or just a lazy thing to say. He recommends surgeons for everything for both me and my husband as if a surgeon is the only person who could address anything. If you are not a fit for surgery, get ready for zero medical care. Terrible doctor.

Dr. Lerner has been my primary doctor for over 5 years. He is a wonderful, compassionate doctor. Spends time with his patients, very good listener and is a hands-on doctor. I really appreciate Dr Lerner's health care all of these years.
