A Consultation with Dr Lerman.
'How can I help you?' These were the first words Dr. Lerman spoke when I met him face to face - and they informed our whole interview. Judicious and calming, learned and down-to earth, his demeanor instils confidence. You come away with the healing process already beginning.

This is the second time we have had occasion to meet. The first time he fixed the heart problem quickly and completely. Dr. Lerman is patient, thoughtful, a listener, asks questions and weighs options with care. I’m confident we will do whatever needs to be done or not. I am fortunately in good hands.

The best of the Best!!
The best of the Best!! I've only just discovered this rating system or I would have rated him in 2014 when he diagnosed my rare right ventricular dysplasia; explained the condition carefully and compassionately to me; and personally performed the implant of the operation. Dr. Lerman went beyond what any doctor I have ever know did - he was literally in the middle of my operation when he learned a close family member had died. Though he could have left the rest of the procedure to his top quality colleagues, he completed it himself, then waited until I was conscious to explain to my family and me how everything went. I will never forget his kindness, intelligence and professionalism.

I literally just left New York Hospital after having an ablation with Dr. Lerman and his staff and I cannot stay enough about their skill, kindness, and helpfulness. I have had surgeries at other hospitals and without doubt Dr. Lerman and his associates are exceptional. During the interval before the procedure he and they were always responsive to calls and emails and my experience in the hospital was 10-star worthy.
