“Dr. Lerner is thorough, caring and professional; he listens, he does not rush, asks if there is anything else that is a concern, and makes you feel comfortable. He educated me about medications and taught me how to locate any medications at the cheapest price. Now some are available in his office. He is generous with samples. When our pharmacy needed to call his office with a question, the office answered immediately. The pharmacy was surprised and relieved. Often they cannot get a returned call for days to weeks. My husband now goes to Dr. Lerner too.” – Marilyn Hauck
