Dr. Lemme took the time to go over my MRI and explain the results to me. He was friendly and professional. He laid out a plan for my treatment and made sure that I didn’t have any unanswered questions before I left.
Great bedside manner and excellent communication with helping me understand my xray results and how we are going to move forward in my treatment plan.
