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.

Although I am no longer under Dr. Lem's care (due to a change in my insurance), I loved this doctor. He delivered all of my children. He is conscientious, thorough and caring. I heartily recommend him as an OBGYN.

Dr. Lem made a typically uncomfortable experience seem very easy. I usually prefer female doctors and was nervous to see him but he was incredibly professional and the service provided was of the highest possible standard. Himself well as his office staff are so kind and make you feel at home. He went as far as making hand drawn diagrams for me during my appointments because I’m an artist to help explain things to me in a way I could really understand. Highly recommend.

He and his team are total rockstars! They are kind, courteous, empathetic, clear, and just plain amazing. Dr. Lem treated me during 3 of my 4 pregnancies and delivered my boys, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. There was a reason I kept going back. There is a long wait time for him, but he will never turn you away, and he will always answer your call and have your back 1,000%. And while you wait, you can always strike up a great conversation with Marguerite or Betty; also amazing!

Dr. Lem has been my OBGYN for 20 years. His medicine is practical, up-to-date and no nonsense. He treats his patients with care and respect and has been supportive of my preferences in medical care, personal health and procedure. When he thinks preference conflicts with sound medicine, he is careful to explain the risks and benefits of each course of action, always giving me time and space to make informed decisions. His office staff is thorough, kind, and friendly

Dr Lem is only in this business for the money. He forced my wife into doing a c section with bogus information just to fatten his own pockets. I would definitely go somewhere else.
