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.

Blamed me for having an ectopic and misdiagnosed
Dr. Lenahan performed my emergency surgery when I had an ectopic that ruptured. First off, there is no way to prevent an ectopic. He yelled and blamed me and my husband for me having a ruptured ectopic. I knew I was pregnant but had no idea it was ectopic. My beta was doubling like it should. After surgery where he removed my tube, he told me he saw adhesions and scarring inside. I asked if this could be endo. He said no that endometriosis doesn’t do that. A year later guess what?!? I was diagnosed with endometriosis because of those scars and adhesions. How does a doctor that specializes in women’s health not know what endometriosis looks like? He is a disgusting man blaming ectopic pregnancy loss on a patient. He never offered me grief counseling or options. He just assumed I wasn’t hurting. He clearly doesn’t care about pregnancy loss or his patients

He didn't care about me. If I could change my choice, I would never use him. Awful experience. The birth of my child was scary and sad and depressing because of him. I'd go anywhere but his office if I could change the past :((((((
