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.

Dr Lersten diagnosed me correctly. A previous provider didn’t. Now I’m on the road to recovery.

Dr. Lersten is awesome!
Dr. Lersten was amazing. He has the best bedside manner, is kind, calm and gives you 100% of his attention. He explains everything to you and actually cares about you. He does not rush the visit, even though he is in high demand. I highly recommend him and am going to send everyone who needs help to him.

Knowledgeable, caring and honest Dr
Dr. Lersten worked with my 82 year old mother with severe arthritis in her spine. He helped her get relief from sciatic pain however, he also identified that she has severe neuropathy and explained what was the treatment and outcome. He set my mom up with Balance physical therapy and was honest with her about the need for this treatment to keep her quality of life from deteriorating. He looked her in the eye and compassionately but sternly informed her of the downsides if she didn’t try to acquire new tools to keep her from falling due to her diagnosis. I highly recommend Dr Lersten for treatment of back pain!

Dr Lersten did an amazing and outstanding job for me on Thursday working on treatment for an arthritis situation in my hand. He was thorough and offered me several treatment options. He performed test to determine the severity of my problem and then did injections to get me some relief. His staff also did great in assisting the Doctor especially Evelyn, her assistance in getting the appt and operating the equipment was outstanding along with her pleasant personality in the room. Overall a great Panorama Team effort!
