Dr Lehman is not only a brilliant surgeon, but a warm and compassionate human being. Hands down no one better to see when experiencing any pain in the back, neck or radiating anywhere else! His staff is also incredibly professional and kind.

Dr. Lehman performed my complex spinal reconstruction surgery September 1. I am elated with the results and am 3” taller and standing straight again. I could not be happier with the care and concern Dr. Lehman has shown me through my 3-year journey to have surgery. I had flat back and degenerative scoliosis with a greater than 50 degree curve. I could barely walk and my pain and deformity were severe. Although from Louisiana, I sought Dr. Lehman’s help after the orthopedist in my home town said he would choose an orthopedic surgeon from the group at Allen Och Spine Hospital if he needed surgery like mine. I was fortunate to get an appointment with Dr. Lehman and he and his wonderful clinical care coordinator Christine have guided me through a three year quest for surgery to correct my condition. I feel that no one would have spent as much time and effort to produce such outstanding results as Dr. Lehman.and I am very pleased with his outstanding care.

I called to make an appointment, a nasty woman answered the phone asking why I need an appointment, what insurance I have am I going to have surgery, do I have an mri within 2 years if I don’t I need one, as I told her that I would need a script for the mri she proceeded to tell me the referring Dr would give me one. I told her I was not referred to him I saw his reviews I wanted a second opinion since I already had surgery and was the same as before the surgery. I guess that unless I’m going to have surgery I can’t see this Dr. to bad my sister and I wanted to be seen the same day for a second opinion. I don’t understand how he those reviews if is so hard to get an appointment. Person needs customer service classes.

Dr. Lehman has performed 2 surgeries on me that were 2 days apart. They consisted of an anterior and posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation and decompression from L4 - S1. The surgery was a great success and I only have great things to say about Dr. Lehman and his entire team. From my initial contact with his office followed by my visits, the 2 surgeries, my 5 day hospital stay to my post op follow up, I was supported with exceptional care and treatment. I live in California and flew to NY for this surgery. The entire team made a difficult decision and situation as easy to navigate as possible. I'm currently 3 months post surgery and continue to heal without any complications. As a note, Dr. Lehman performed decompression surgery on my 16 year old daughter several years ago who also had a very good outcome. I will likely need further surgery in the future and without hesitation will continue with Dr. Lehman. I recommend Dr. Lehman without any hesitation.

I'm convinced that Dr. Lehman saved my ability to walk. I was experiencing weakness, some pain and a terrible time walking. The first surgeon I saw told me that he'd love to operate because he's a surgeon, but that he doesn't like anyone coming near HIM with a scalpel, but I could wait. I saw Dr. Lehman as a second opinion and he recommended surgery immediately. I was on the table a week later and, while I needed help getting into pre-op, but I walked out, albeit with a walker, on my own power the same day after spinal decompression surgery. I'm feeling great, with no infirmary, no pain and no weakness. If you need spinal surgery, DEFINITELY see Dr. Lehman!

Words cannot begin to describe how blessed I am to have met Dr. Lehman and to be under his care. His nurse and care team is amazing. In all my years I've never once met a doctor that cared more about making sure that i received the right surgery. I've had more surgeries on my back then i would like to keep count of, but Dr. Lehman is and forever will be my last surgeon. Not only did he fix my back, but all my back and leg pain was completely gone after surgery. By 3 weeks out i felt like a new person! I was able to go out with friends and even play a few rounds of golf (something i haven't done for years because of the pain). I wish i was able to find Dr. lehamn sooner. 20 out of 10 would recommend him to my family and friends!!! THANK YOU DR.LEHMAN, CHRISTINE, TARREN !!!

Dr Lehman did surgery on my lower spine. He was excellent in every way, professional, thorough, confident, kind, listened, understanding and not pushy. The hospital staff were beyond amazing. Each and every staff member were kind and caring, so attentive and caring. I felt very safe and looked after.

Dr. Lehman successfully performed a spinal fusion surgery on me in February 2017 to correct my severe scoliosis. I was 23 at the time. I consulted with multiple surgeons and found Dr. Lehman to be absolutely the BEST in the business. I found significant curve reduction in each of my curves, and, most importantly, the curvature spine isn't progressing anymore. I grew one inch from this surgery and I l now live pain-free. Moving regularly, especially my spine has been a crucial part of my recovery. After the surgery, I began to align my life in the direction of fitness, to make sure that I stayed an active mover. I know have my own business as a private yoga teacher and personal trainer. Thank you, Dr. Lehman! You've given me a bright and happy life! Bless you!

Dr. Lehman successfully treated a severely herniated disc that had left me partially paralyzed. His treatment resulted in nearly complete recovery of prior function. He was direct, clear, and at the same time kind in his explanations from pre-op to follow-up. No complications from the surgery and it is going as well as i could ever expect.

Yes, I would definitely recommend Dr. Lehman to my family and friends. I was actually recommended by a family member who had surgery by Dr. Lehman. Words can not describe how grateful I am to be under his care. My family and I are forever grateful. I can't begin to describe how much my life has return after my surgery, compared to before the surgery where I was practically in bed all the time and the only time i wasn't was to crawl to the bathroom. It is not a life i would wish on anyone. Can't thank Dr. Lehman and his team enough for how much they have take care of me and my family member's questions and needs. Always available either in person or by phone and email. I always felt like i was only a click away from getting in touch with them. Thank you so much Dr. Lehman and team!

After visiting many doctors I found my way to Dr. Lehman. After an initial consultation and follow up I felt that Dr. Lehman explained what was happening with my back, was very empathetic of my situation and how he could help me. I moved forward with a TLIF of levels L4/L5 L5/S1 in February 2019. Fast forward to Feb 2020 and I feel 25 years younger and back to normal activities. Dr. Lehman and his team are incredible. Everything from pre surgery to post and in between was handled with care and understanding and the results speak for themself! I highly recommend Dr Lehman and his team.

Never would I have ever wish to have spine surgery, but I'm so glad to be under Dr. Lehman's care. The anxiety, panic and questions were overwhelming. I cannot thank Dr. Lehman and his team enough for how well they took care of me. My surgery was beyond my expectation. I woke up from and the leg and back pain that was plaguing me for the last year was completely gone. I still have a little numbness, but that infinitely better than how it was before my surgery. I can begin to tell you have great it feels to be able to go outside without having to carry around a bottle of pain killers. Thank you so much Dr. Lehman and team!!!!!

I had surgery with Dr. Lehman 3 years ago to correct my scoliosis. Looking back I wish I saw Dr. Lehman earlier. Before my surgery I had so much low back pain and the sciatic pain down my legs was unbearable. I had tried everything from physical therapy to injections, nothing worked. His surgery really helped me so much. The leg and back pain is gone and my posture is so much better. I really have to thank him and his team for taking care of me. He came by to see me everyday and night, and his nurses were extremely helpful. 10 out of 10 would recommend Dr. Lehman.

Dr. Lehman is really amazing! I found Dr. Lehman through my neighbor who Dr. Lehman did surgery on his back with amazing result. I had so much back pain that I couldn't go anywhere or do anything. I was miserable. I can't believe the result from my fusion surgery on my back. Completely pain free now and able to do everything that I wanted to do before. I am so thankful of Dr. Lehman and his team. They took care of me every step of the way, from before to after the surgery, I always felt like I had someone guiding me. I highly recommend Dr. Lehman.

I can honestly say Dr. Lehman changed my whole life. I could barely walk, I was in so much pain. And now I have been pain-free for over a year. Dr. Lehman was kind and explained everything very thoroughly; I always felt like I was in very good hands with him. And when there was a post-surgical complication, he went the extra mile, coming back (I think) from vacation to perform a second surgery. I can't recommend him and his staff enough.
