Dr Chris has done two trigger finger releases for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the results and all my office visits. I trust him implicitly.

This was my first visit with Dr Lechner & I am very happy that I found him.
He was very attentive, professional and empathetic. I scheduled my surgery with him after just one meeting, which I never do.

Dr. Lechner immediately put me at ease when he walked in the room and gave a thorough explanation of my health issue. He then explained possibilities for treatment, allowing me to make an informed decision for the next step (or not). He answered myriad questions I had, including about half of them before I asked. Dr. Lechner’s geniality, medical knowledge, and ability to communicate make him a model physician.
