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.

Shocked but impressed
I never expected the older white doctor in the practice would be the perfect one to see my premature mixed race baby. I honestly assumed that she would be most comfortable with a younger female provider, and that as a registered nurse, I would be most comfortable with one of the nurse practitioners in the practice. Dr. Lahman is the only provider who my baby hasn't screamed through the entire exam with, and his level of comfort and understanding with common baby problems has been unparalleled. When my daughter had an umbilical hernia, his first reaction was 'has anyone reassured you about this yet?'. He wasn't concerned that the hernia existed or that I hadn't called to report it (as an ICU nurse I'm aware of when it's an emergency, I'd encourage 99 percent of parents to call for this). He's certainly not perfect, but very reassuring to parents and children alike, and somehow the best provider to calm my infant through an office visit.

Dr Lehman has been seing my boys for 12 and 15 years. He is fantastic! He is on time. Staff is amazing. we never have to wait but a few minutes in the office, and they answered the phones promptly. I saw another provider in the area and was less than pleased. My lactation consultant at the time recommended Dr Lahman. Great Doctor, highly recommend!

The best doctor ever. He takes his time to talk with patient and family. He does not rush and answers all the questions. If follow up is needed, he always remembers to call the next day.

To start the male that took us in before the dr was very cold. Not nice or inviting at all! ZERO personality. Not a good thing when you’re trying to make children and their parents comfortable! And the cologne was way too strong for someone working with children. Dr lahman seemed very aggressive with our 18 month old and she was extremely upset the whole time. Worst visit ever

Last year Dr. Lahman figured it out that my daughter diagnosed with osteosarcoma in early stage. I am so grateful, he acted so fast contacting oncologist and orthopedic so my daughter got treatment right away and now she is cancer free.

Waited over 35 minutes for a scheduled appt. Numerous people went in before us although our appt. time was before theirs. I had to speak up to get their attention that we had been waiting. They didn’t seem that concerned. Otherwise the care was acceptable.
