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.

Excellent cardiologist.

attention to detail and patient care
What I appreciated the most was the attetion to detail, quick and through analysis (4 or 5 tests) and immediate response to my life threatening condition by Dr. Lebhar. In addition he has a pleasant and understanding manner. With just minor chest pain my General Practitioner recommended I see Dr. Lebhar who saw me that same day. He spent considerable time with me running a number of stess and other tests and that day arranged for me to see a Cardiac interventionalist in Naples the next day. I then had a catherization which disclosed severe blockage (99%) as also confirmed by a cardiac surgeon and I was set for bypass surgery within 3 working days. Dr. Lebhar certainly set the standard for outanding patient care and is highly recommeded.

Hypertension
My wife, Elizabeth, has had uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure) for years. She has been prescribed multiple medications by multiple physicians without resolution. Dr. Lebhar started treating her condition by listening to her entire medical history, then prescribing new medications with 'adjustments' in dosage and scheduling. He has now successfully stabilizaed her blood pressure!! After years of multiple medications and physicians, Dr. Lebhar is our 'hero.' If you need a qualified cardiologist, see Dr. Steve Lebhar. He is one of those 'miracle workers.' Not to mention, he is a really nice guy, and truly cares about his patients!! ps: He also has a great receptionist, Barbara, who is knowledgeable, kind, and caring about patients.

Thank You Dr Lebhar!
I consulted Dr. Lebhar because my blood pressure was too high and it was making my daily life difficult: tension, impatience, fleeting sleep. After a careful examination, including a nuclear stress test, Dr Lebhar prescribed me medications which were particularly effective and which in a few days allowed me to return to a normal life. Thank you Dr Lebhar!

Doctor Visit
Dr. Lebhar was so thorough- competent, cordial, and concerned. I had to take a friend for a post hospital visit because she was not stable. He carefully reviewed the records, listed her medications. Then in detail reviewed each as to how to take them in a clearly understood manner. He reviewed lifestyle changes that were important. As a first meeting I was so impressed with his empathetic professionalism. He would be my choice for a cardiologist, hands down.

Accomodating, Responsive, Caring
Dr. Lebhar was very accommodating and made time to see my 97 year old father in-person within a day when he was having heart issues. He collaborated with my father’s Veterans Administration doctors to increase his medications and propose a plan that relieved my father’s symptoms quickly. Dr. Lebhar scheduled two follow-up in-person appointments to make sure the changes were working for my father. We appreciate Dr. Lebhar’s experience, quick response and caring manner. We’ve made Dr. Lebhar our main cardiologist for my father.

Dr. Lebhar has been my cardiologist for 8 years. He takes his time to review your case and understand your medical issues. Very easy to talk to and you feel comfortable asking him any questions. Dr. Lebhar's recommendations are always balanced with a cost benefit analysis in order for the patient to make an informed decision. Overall a great doctor!

I am a retired law enforcement officer of the Naples, FL area. I have been a patient of Dr. Lebhar's for a good number of years. He was originally recommended to me by a very respected and highly reputable doctor in the same area. Dr. Lebhar is one in a million! Very personable, caring and obviously very knowledgeable about his profession. He is straight forward and honest. I have seldom been able to get into a doctors office in this area as quickly as I've had at his office when in need. I have even received phone calls from him directly when I've had testing done that he wanted to go over with me instead of waiting for a next appointment. Because lets face it, this is the ol' ticker, time is crucial. His assistant/nurse/aid is amazing herself. She manages the office and patients with high efficiency and is just as caring and concerned for those who step foot across the threshold of that office. I would highly recommend this office to anyone who needs a cardiologist.

My mother went to the ER on Christmas night, she was having trouble breathing. She called Dr Lebhar's office and Barbara fit her in ASAP. He reassured us and they made an immediate appointment to see a heart surgeon the following week for a heart catheter. Thank you for your caring speedy plan!

I am a 46-year-old school teacher here in Naples. Transplant from New York where I was born and raised and finished my studies then graduate school. I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation when I was 18 years old and have seen many different cardiologists, and cardiac electrophysiologists throughout New York, Florida and California. None of them even come close to the amazing care, expertise, consideration, professionalism, and personality of Dr. Steve Lebhar. I have been treated by Dr. Lebhar since 2008 for intermittent bouts of Atrial Fibrillation. I have had two ablations in the past by a different cardiologist and have seen Dr. Lebhar ever since. Dr. Lebhar does what no other cardiologist does and in my humble opinion, does what no other Dr. does (period) - He actually cares!!!It is written all over his face and exhibited in not only his words but also his actions.Thank you Dr. Lebhar, Barbara and your team for the continued amazing care and support - Jonah Nicosia

Exceptional Experience With Dr. Lebhar. On March 8th of 2019 , 2 days before I was scheduled to have knee surgery, I was able to get an appointment the next day as a new patient and Dr. Lebhar performed an array of test to clear me for the upcoming knee Surgery. He went above and beyond. Courteous and Professional .

I couldn’t be more pleased after having seen Dr Lebhar this week for the first time. When I called his office and explained the problem to Barbara, she was very professional and helpful. Then I was seen promptly by Dr. Lebhar who listened to my description of symptoms, examined me and formulated a plan to further evaluate the problem. That evaluation was completed rapidly and efficiently, and Dr Lebhar took the time necessary to listen and explain. He is a skilled and caring cardiologist.

Dr. Lebhar referred me to an ablation specialist by contacting him first. After 3 procedures I'm as good as new, if not for Dr. Lebhar, I most likely wouldn't be alive and writing this.

Twelve years ago, Dr. Lebhar literally saved my life while I was in the hospital by doggedly seeking the answer to my heart problem when others had not be able to find it. He continues to give me very personal (never a PA or assistant) and top notch care. Office is exceptionally well run, also. I highly recommend him.
