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.

Secretary called me to set up an appointment cause my Tyler dr wanted me to see ENT dr cause all the sinus infections I’m having. She preceded to tell me that I needed to call my insurance to see if we are in network, why am I having to do her job. Maybe she didn’t need a new patient. No loss on my back. Why not support your own town and doctors is what I wanted to do, oh well is how I felt her attitude was.

So fed up with the wait times at this office. OVER AN HOUR - the last 3 times we’ve been here and not enough toys to keep a bored child busy.

Dr. Lehr is an excellent doctor and I would recommend him to anyone and have recommended him to my friends for any ENT needs. The first time I went to him he diagnosed a lump on my thyroid that needed to be removed and preformed a partial thyroidlobectomy . I couldn’t be more satisfied with how he walked me through the procedure and made me feel comfortable with the surgery that I was about to undergo. The second time was for vertigo and he diagnosed it quickly and took care of it.

I had a septoplasty and tonsilectomy/adinoidectomy done about a week ago. Dr. Lehr and his staff have been amazing. I was warned ahead of time about how painful this could be. While it is uncomfortable, it's really not that bad. He has been very good about answering questions and making sure I and my husband were well informed about what was going on. Getting through to his staff to have questions answered is no problem, ever. Over all, I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Lehr was great. He listened to me about my problems and gave me a through exam. He was not in a hurry as many Dr.'s are now days and he was extremely friendly. If I continue to have problems I will most certainly return to him again. He is a good man.
