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.

Fantastic results
Dr. Lesher took time to listen to every detail of my sports injury and after exam explained thoroughly the diagnosis and walked me through the treatment plan. Made sure I understood the steps and we hit each mark as he resolved my pain issues. HIGHLY recommend him to anyone suffering with pain looking for a solution that doesn't involve invasive surgery.

Excellent Doctor and Staff
Pain can be a mystery, but Dr Lesher cares and wants to solve it! He listened to me and took the time to explain all aspects of his exam and his plan of action! Looking forward to getting help for my neck and shoulder pain.

Dr. Lesher is excellent at what he does. This is the 2nd time in 2yrs he has done a steroid injection in my neck. He is extremely professional, thorough and polite. The whole team there is great and always make a not so fun procedure the best it can be.

During my visit Dr. Lesher listened very closely to the problems I was having. He did not recommend any treatments until he had results from my MRI. This was so important because the MRI was the only way he could have made the right decision about the cause of my painful situation. I highly recommend him!

Dr Lesher is extremely knowledgeable about spine issues and injections and very caring. I’ve has a number of spinal injections over the years from a number of doctors and he is the best, by far. So are his nurses. I highly recommend him.
