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.

Best Doc I Ever Had!
Dr. Lerner LISTENS, really LISTENS! I always feel like she has time for me, that she cares about my health and well being. She makes helpful suggestions. She follows up. She carefully watches my blood test results. She has a very nice sense of humor. I was her patient for 6 years before she joined MDVIP. The price for MDVIP is steep for me, but she was so good that I knew it would be better for my health if I stayed with her. And I'm SO glad that I did.

A doctor who really listens
I've appreciated Dr. Lerner's approach and advice for several years. She listens carefully, asks follow-up questions, and share her own experience as appropriate. I would recommend her without hesitation -- and have done so many times.

Dr. Sandra Lerner is outstanding
Dr. Lerner takes the time to really listen to you, looking directly at you (rather than simply typing into a computer). She genuinely wants to understand your background and concerns and comes up with various options for you to employ to stay healthy. She is also exceptionally responsive to phone calls, even outside of regular business hours, when needed. I highly recommend Dr. Lerner. She is one of the best doctors I've ever had over the years.

Patient, Knowledgeable & Accessible
I’ve been a patient of Dr Lerner’s for a few years. She’s super easy to talk to (even about the embarrassing things), and she’s vested in the health of her clients. She’s genuinely interested in how I am doing, and she’s very encouraging. Additionally, I’ve had to contact her a few times for emergent situations and she’s always responsive and helpful.

Next level health care
I've been seeing Dr. Lerner for nearly two years, and her attention to detail and care is exceptional. I feel completely comfortable discussing everything with her, and she always approaches my healthcare needs with a calm and thoughtful manner. Before Dr. Lerner, I saw another doctor, but there's no comparison in terms of understanding my personal needs. I highly recommend Dr. Lerner to anyone looking to improve their healthcare.

Dr. Lerner recommended a Neurologist for me. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Her recommendation was perfect. Dr. Lerner keeps track of my situation. Contacting Dr. Lerner is never a problem.

A Doctor who Cares
I am so glad I switched doctors to Dr Lerner. She is so responsive. She is thorough and then takes the time to discuss your situation and any test results. Dr Lerner caught things my old doctor missed. Also, all of the people who work there are so friendly and helpful

Dr. Lerner takes the time to listen to you, and give you tips and information on your conditions. She really seams to care about how your doing and what your concerns are. The only negative thing I would have is she could do better at explaining why she wants certain tests done.

I am new to Dr. Lerner's practice. On the first appt she was a great listener, answered my questions and addressed my concerns. I struggle with my weight and have tried many programs in the past. What I liked best, is that she was honest with me about it and gave me ideas, suggestions, and ways to help myself. She even noticed something I had on my leg for years which I thought was a scar. She wanted to have it tested just in case; my past Dr. didn't even notice it. Thank you Dr. Lerner!

My first time at the office was fairly positive but as time goes on and I have been there over the past 3 years and my opinion has definitely changed. The office staff is not always pleasant and at times you feel as though you are bothering them, I have asked for a refill almost a week ago and still haven't heard anything. Dr. never calls with lab results. It's a good thing I was a CMA and know about labs or I probably would never hear. Researching a new doctor and office.

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Learner after my PCP left her practice. In able to locate where she moved on to, I choose to try Dr. Learner based on online reviews. I waited 1 hr. And 15 minutes to be called into the back. The medical assistant who took my vitals barely spoke 2 words to me. When I saw Dr. Learner she was suggesting that I come back without my kids ( ages 3 and 1 and very well behaved) my exam was about 5 minutes.
