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.

Excellent I am a patient for over 30 years and while you may be kept waiting for a while the wait is worth it very in-depth examination al questions and issues explored and answered.

Had my annual physical with Dr. Lessin. He is very thorough, takes time to addess all my questions and explains all test results. He is an outstanding physician I have been seeing for 20+ years.

Dr Lessin is an outstanding physician, very knowledgeable, experienced, and thorough. He sometimes keeps you waiting, but only because he takes the time to explain things well and may get a little backed up. The nurses in his office also are carefully chosen and a pleasure to deal with. He has been the family physician for us for three generations, almost 40 years, and all of us are most grateful for his excellent care.

Although I have considered Dr. Lessin a very thorough doctor, I was horrified when I appeared for my appointment 2 weeks ago and the entire staff was without masks. I expect my doctor and his staff to exercise stringent health and safety measures. I refused to be seen and will not use this doctor again.

I had terrible asthmatic bronchitis and my previous doctor had left the practice and not been replaced. He took me the same day. He and his staff were marvelous.

Dr. Lessin the kind of doctor you rarely find these days. He does not rush you and answers all your questions. He is thorough, caring, and conscientious and extremely wise. I've looked for a doctor like him for years, so consider myself very fortunate to now be a patient of his. I can't say enough good things about him - he is one in a million. I love him, he has helped me tremendously. He saved my life.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Lessin for a loooong time. He is thorough and quite willing to explain in depth his assessments and recommendations, explain test results, etc.. Because he doesn't hurry with patients he is often running late (and staying late himself) so people on tight schedules may get frustrated. My advice is: bring a book or a tablet and put up with it, and you'll get all the time you need for your care when it's your turn.

Absolutely terrible in every possible way. I made an appointment weeks in advance and took off work for that they cancelled just before and wouldn't write me my necessary perception if I sent him my old doctors information. Then the wait to see this sham of a doctor when I rescheduled was over 2 hours and they said that this is a normal wait time. The building is decrepit and the care is terrible.

I have been with Dr. Lessin for more than 10 years. He's the kind of physician rarely found any longer He's the most thorough, caring, and conscientious doctor I have experienced (and I'm 85). He takes as much time as needed to do in-office analyses and explain issues and answer questions. As a result he's often late for appointments but bless him for the reasons! Equally valuable he's known by and knows the bestl specailists in every field. I'd give him ten stars if I cuould.
