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.

RUDE DR LESCH
DO I REALLY HAVE TO EVEN GIVE THIS GUY A STAR??? HE IS RUDE AND IS NOT CARING. HE IS A DR THAT LOVES TO GIVE MEDS OUT AND DOES NOT EXPLAIN ANYTHING TO YOU. HE WANTS TO HEAR HIMSELF TALK NOT YOU, OR ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

No respect for your time
Dr. Lesch is very knowledgeable, but does not respect patient’s time. You make an appointment and expect your Dr to be at the office. Once you’re in the room, you are told you will need to wait awhile, because the Dr hasn’t arrived yet. It’s very unprofessional that patient’s are expected to arrive in a timely fashion, but the Dr can role into the office whenever it pleases him. Don’t make morning appointments available to patients if you don’t like arriving in the office “early”.

I had not seen Dr. Lesch for a couple of years, but had a new, rather serious problem. My appointment was first after lunch. I waited for approximately 15 minutes. The nurse was very friendly and thorough. She covered my history, all my meds, and took information regarding my new problem. Dr. Lesch was not rushed, spent time questioning me about my symptoms, explaining possibilities of what could have happened, or could take place, and tests he wanted to have done. I knew he was concerned, and was giving me excellent care. I would highly recommend Dr. Lesch to anyone seeking quality neurological care.

Took the first appointment after lunch and waited for over 2 hours with no explanation again and left without seeing him. I have had that happen several times and then nurse commented on my blood pressure being high. (this time, I had a migraine coming on and told them this, that I needed to get out of there and take something quickly.). I ended up leaving and no one could or would tell me why I had to wait so long being the first appointment again. I've never had him spend more than 10 minutes with me.

I was a patient of Dr. Lesch for several years. His treatment for migraines was very effective but his bed side manner was extremely lacking. I did not feel like he really cared for me personally and we always exchanged very few words. I routinely found it difficult to get a human being on the phone when needing emergency refills or requesting assistance on info requested by insurance companies. After being a loyal customer I still was unable to get basic requests fulfilled. If you are looking f

Disappointed in Johns creek, GA – Dec 06, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lesch?
Dr Lesch deserves more than 5 stars. Because of his experience and insight my husband is on the road to recovery. I have read the comments of having to wait to long at his office and I couldn’t help but think....”your at a neurologist! Do you really want him to hurry? He is dealing with your brain and nervous system!” I appreciated the time he spent with each patient. He took the time to read my husband records, review his meds, and provide a thorough examine, a correct diagnose was made.

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW ON DR. LESCH. Many of the reviews you read on him are complaining about the wait time. Dr. LESCH is a neurologist not a Toe surgeon . I had seen two other neurologists prior to him and they said it was in my head. My speech issue was a severe problems and Doctor LESCH was able to determine that it most likely was a medication I was taking that had become toxic in my body. Hey test was run and he was right. Give him the time he needs. It is Worth the time to wait!

Did I really just wait over 2 hours in a doctor's office and STILL not be seen? Then, the front desk says... it's always better to have a 2:30 appointment. So why wasn't I offered that? When I called, I was told 10:45 NOT 2:30. I'm unsure if the doctor is any good, I NEVER SAW HIM.

I have numerous complaints about this practice. The very first is the front desk staff, the Women are incredibly rude. The type of rude that is completely uncalled for and shocked me when I first came in for an appointment. I've had multiple issues with their snarkiness and rude way of telling you just enough information to say they did their job. When you walk into the office the first thing you are met with is a trophy case of CPAP machines, which looking back at it should tell you someth

After seeing him for almost a year I've decided to get a second opinion. Not comfortable with progress (or lack of). Wait time is long, staff (nurse) is not very helpful and phone calls are not returned promptly. He is not taking time to explain things. This lack of customer service makes me feel like he doesn't care. he might be the greatest doctor ever but this is not a feeling I am getting.

My guess is that the practice is understaffed. It took forever to get calls back and scheduling was an exercise in frustration. Dr. Lesch said that he would notify the staff that our son's case needed to be expedited - and I believe he did that. However, it still took a month to get through the appointments and sleep studies and the administrative staff did not seem interested in trying to expedite anything!

Dr Lesch has been my neuro for over 20 years. I have given him 4 stars in several areas order to let potential patients know that they must ask their own questions with him for him to spend time with you. If not, he will move on. If you do, he will sit and explain as long as needed. Also, the other person who called him "old-school" is correct. Overall though, he is extremely caring and his staff is wonderful and all will go the extra mile for you.

I was hospitalized for what the hospitalist diagnosed as a transient ischemic attack. Dr Lesch saw me in the hospital. He scheduled tests and analyzed the results to arrive at the correct diagnosis of a sensory seizure. He prescribed drugs that treated the symptoms and returned me to normal living. Dr Lesch is knowledgeable, thorough, and not satisfied with the easy (and wrong) answer. I am very lucky to have found him.

History of Migraines. Dr. Lesch is more old school. Did not want to listen to my full history and was not very supportive of the fact that I was also working with an integrative doctor to solve the problem. For anyone familiar with biotoxin illness or working with integrative folks, I cannot recommend this doctor.
