Dr. Terrence Lenahan, MD

Dr. Lenahan's depth of knowledge, ability to communicate complex concepts clearly, & genuine compassion were absolutely remarkable.For the first time in decades, I left a pulmonology appointment feeling not only informed, but truly empowered. Dr. Lenahan took the time to listen, answer all my questions with patience, & offer insights that completely shifted my understanding of my health.If you are looking for a pulmonologist who is not only incredibly smart but also deeply invested in their patients’ well-being, look no further. This was hands-down the best experience I've ever had with a specialist! I saw him in Lenox and only regret I have is not seeing him 20 years ago

Can I rate him a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. First, he never asked me when my symptoms started, didn’t think it was relevant that I coughed and vomited after eating, and told me I needed to redo a breathing test because I didn’t try and scheduled a next appointment to redo the test. He diagnosed me with rhinitis due to owning a bird and told me to get rid of the bird. I mentioned I inhaled asbestos dust on a work site directly during construction and felt an immediate burn sensation similar to a sore throat after coughing and he told me that is not the symptom of inhaling asbestos. After surrendering my macaw, and a retest that still showed 40% lung function, his physician assistant felt my family history of dad with esophageal cancer was pointing to aspiration after eating and prescribed pantoprazole and said she will call after scheduling a barium swallow. Two months later and several messages, I cannot get Regina in the office to even call me back. But the vomiting stopped.

While he may be a knowledgable and personable in person , he is not attentive to the medical patients needs or follow up. I was not seen while in hospital (4 days) and when I contacted office for follow up calls not returned. Tests not scheduled. My very serious pulmonary condition has been tretaed by internist.
