This was my first visit with Dr. Lenihan. After my visit, I felt very confident Dr. Lenihan heard my concerns and fully understood my overall symptoms. I left knowing Dr. Lenihan moving forward would be providing me with a reasonable treatment plan in my overall care. I look forward to his professional medical care for a positive outcome.
