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.

Dr. Lehtinen was excellent. He listened well to the issue and was very knowledgeable and presented a good game plan to deal with the issue. Most excellent!

Dr. Lehtinen is a very good listener and provides multiple opportunities for me to tell him if I have anything I'm concerned about. Good to have opportunities to ask follow up questions or to think out loud. He is very respectful and easy to talk to.

I've had a condition for nearly One Year and it has not been diagnosed with specificity. And as usual just throw Prednisone when in doubt.

Dr. Lehtinen is the best, caring, brilliant doctor I have ever had, and I’ve had a lot with fighting breast cancer and 22 OR procedures! He is so sensitive always to his patients care, their life, interests, and medical issues! I can’t imagine not having him for my Primary Care Physician!
