Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I felt very comfortable with the personal and professional care received from Dr.Schlehr on every visit. Excellent care. He explained my diagnosis and reviewed all reports with me personally. Highly recomment Dr. Frank Schlehr.

My experience with Dr. Schlehr was great!!!!! He was on point with my rotating cuff tear and so was his team. I never had to wait for months to get an appointment scheduled nor did I wait for hours in the waiting room to be seen by him. My wait time was always less than 15 minutes. I would highly recommend Dr. Schlehr and his team, because they are friendly and honest. Lockport, NY 2019

RUN DON’T WALK…I had knee surgery for a torn meniscus Fall of 2019. Im still not able to walk correctly. . He totally ruined my knee and now I need a complete knee replacement. Never had knee issues until that surgery…I feel he crippled me... I would never recommend him or his team, look elsewhere for a doctor…

I waited for an appointment for almost 2 months. When I went in for it I was told that I was not in their system at all and that I could reschedule. Hard pass, thanks for making me wait for nothing.

I was looking for an appointment asap for an orthopedic injury. I was able to get in the office within one day. The staff was very friendly and the billing department helped with my insurance. My appointment was at 2:00 pm and I was in and out of the office in under an hour!! I would highly recommend Dr. Schlehr to my family and friends.

I called due to a sports injury to my knee. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. I called for appointment and was seen the next day. My MRI was scheduled that day and returned within a week for followup and review. My surgery was scheduled very quickly. Dr. Schlehr and his PA were extremely informative about explaining the procedure and my recovery time, and my follow up care was great. I am very happy with the care I received from this office.
