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.

Very thorough
Office runs smoothly and on time. Very professional. The visit was very thorough and every question I had that could be answered was. If you want a physician that sees you and doesn’t treat your visit like a cattle call this is the place to go.

Happy Patient – Sep 21, 2022

Dr Lenters is a wonderful surgeon from the consultations to the surgery he performed on my complete tear on the rotator cuff including reattaching my tendon on the bicep. I would recommend him and also his PA to anyone that needs help. He specializes in only one area of the body so you’re getting a well trained doctor who really cares about his patients, I’m glad I found him. 5 stars + .

Great surgeon
Dr. Lenters is a great surgeon. He just did my left shoulder torn rotator cuff repair. He is such a personable but professional surgeon. I had 100% confidence in him and his team. He explained what he was going to do before the surgery in terms you can understand. I would recommend him to anyone who needs any shoulder problems fixed. Thank you all. Great team.

Very cold/callous
Lacks compassion to the poor, elderly with disabilitys. Paranoid. I'm very reluctant to let him touch me, let alone perform surgery. Buyer beware!.

The pros a d cons of surgery
Dr. Lenters discussed with me the possible problems I could expect with the surgery I need. Consequently I have decided to forgo surgery at this time. His honesty and caring was greatly appreciated.

Competent surgeon
Dr. Lenters is very knowledgeable, friendly and explained my knee problem. He shows you the x-rays and points to all the problems with out being in a hurry. He gave me a cortisone shot which has worked. The office was very efficient and I got in within a reasonable time.

Dr. LENTERS WAS VERY HELPFUL HE DID NOT RUSH ME. HE EXPLAINED THINGS VERY WELL AND HE TOOK IMED. ACTION. HE DID NOT JUST PATRONIZE ME. OR TELL ME THAT I HAD A NON SURGICAL SHOULDER. HE WAS VERY MATTER OF FACT. THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG. THIS IS MY PLAN IF IT DOSEN'T WORK HERE IS PLAN B. ASKED FOR MY APROVAL AND PROCEED IMMEDIATELY. HE WAS VERY ENCOURAGING ABOUT THE INJECTION ESPECIALLY THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SEE THE PROBLEM SO CLEARLY. LETTING ME KNOW IT WAS NOT JUST IN MY HEAD. AND PASS ME OFF TO PHYSICAL THERAPY WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM
