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 like her because she's relaxed and tries to get you to pay attention too.

She’s tough and she knows all the medical tricks but she has your best interest at heart. If you take your drugs the way you’re supposed to and don’t do any outside drugs you’ll get along with her fine if not she will cut you down. I like her she help me get over my opioid addiction while still taking just enough to manage my pain

I was a NEW PATIENTS I waited an hour befor anyone assisted me, she is in the office by herself No nurse and No assist, she only comes to Columbia once a month,i was very disappointed especially since I was a NEW PATIENTS I wouldn't recommend her to anyone, she had an attitude as well. One lady that I talked to said that every time that she comes to the office she has to wait over 2 or 3 hours to be seen, that is ridiculous to wait that long to see any doctor.I walked out i will never go back

Dr. Lembo is a credit to her profession. I would highly recommend her based on my own experience. She is not one that will just hand out pain meds without exploring all options to relieve pain. I can not understand anyone giving this dedicated and caring doctor a negative review.

She was very kind. She actually listed to me and what I've been dealing with. Understanding and genuine. Dr likes that are hardto find. She also knew what she was doing and had a plan.

I had initially given her a bad review. But the more I've seen her I've come to know she is excellent. She didn't just give ne meds she ordered tests to try and cause of my pain. She truly listens and takes time to answer. I think she's great.

I was very upset by this dr sending me on vacation without enough pain medication. But after seeing her again I can say she does seem to care and she is trying to find out what is causing my pain. My opinion has much improved since last review. And while I get she cldnt call in a narcotic while I was on vacay she cld have called in something.I called my ortho and he had no problem calling in tramadol to get me by.

I Havre had Dr Lembo for years. She is very careful and considerate. I have one issue and that was just trying to find the correct medicine for my pain. I feel she does what she is suppose to do but don't just try going in there for pain meds. She makes sure their are issues at hand in which you need the meds for.

I too would say run !!!!! Don't waste your time or money with this person !! Fine someone who is a better person , that will be a better doctor. Anyone. She has nothing to offer a person in chronic pain. She doesn't know what real pain is. Maybe one day she will grow up. This is my experience with her. Please keep this in mind when looking for a pain management doctor. I would NOT recommend her to anyone except my enemy !!!!

Dr. lembo was very unhelpful in trying to find a way to help manage my pain. After repeated visits of telling her what she was prescribing was of no help to me her response was t hats the best she would do for me. If you experience chronic pain I suggest you look else where for help. Her overall attitude is that you're wasting her time & she is goin to prescribe you what she wants regardless of bene
