Dr. Lehner is a very thorough surgeon and he always chooses surgery as a last resort, which normally ends up being the very best thing for the patient. He's been my orthopedic surgeon for 20 years now.

Dr. Lehner is one of the best doctors that I've ever gone to. Very professional and very, very caring. His nurses are exactly the same way I had. I believe it was Taylor and she did a wonderful job making me comfortable. Dr. Lehner is the best in the area.
