Finally, a doctor that paid attention to me and answered all my questions and did not rush me.
Love Dr.Lenci. He is so personable and has been such a sight saver for me. I would recommend him to anyone!
This is one of the worse "bed side manner" doctor i have met in a long time. I asked him 3 questions and still left without answers. I told Humanna & medicare to not refer him to others. He is all about the "Quick money" items. I get more answers from my mechanic. He also had several of us waiting because he was late to work. Maybe i need to send him a bill for my time. This is a doctor with no compassion!
Dr.Lwnci is alays professional personable and informative and encouraging
Professional, excellent communicator, very personable! Answered all my questions.
He was AMAZING!! Made me feel comfortable with the procedure and made sure I wasn’t in pain.
energetic, attentive, reassuring
Very satisfied with my treatment. Thank you
Very good at what he does plus has the integrity to stand beside his work and help patients through decisions.
What an outstanding young surgeon. His friendliness calmed my anxiety and his diagnosis and referral to a well regarded doctor gave me confidence that my eye condition was being managed to the greatest extent possible.
