My visit today at 10 was my 6 week post-op (carpal tunnel surgery). Most pain is gone and I can sleep at night. I was asked to make a fist and Dr. Lechner noticed one of my fingers locking and suggested that a cortisol injection would help. I was impressed with his observation and immediate option for a solution. As I write this it is 2:40 PM and I am able to make a fist. Dr Lechner’s expertise was once again an affirmation of his skill and the success he has with hand procedures.

Dr Lechner is a great Dr and an excellent surgeon. I have had two types of surgery done by him and both have helped me. The more extensive one, he explained our 3 different options and which would be most beneficial for me. When we decided on the one we were going with, there was a chance that I would not be able to go back to work because of the requirements of my job, but I was able to go back after with therapy. I am limited with something’s now but my way of life is very close to where I was before my injury.

Office staff fit me in on short notice due to a thumb injury from the day before. He had successfully treated my right thumb in 2014 so I had no hesitation in returning. After a reasonable wait time my hand was quickly x-rayed and I saw Dr. Lechner immediately after. He clearly explained my problem (broken thumb) and options for treatment. He steered me away from immediate surgery and instead casted my hand and told me to return in a week to see if my thumb is healing properly. Hopefully, this approach will avoid surgery and leave me with a fully functional thumb. Surgery is still a future option should that be necessary. I’d recommend Dr. Lechner to anyone without hesitation.

After being injured at work 6 months ago I started down the rocky road that most call workman’s comp. After months of dealing with workplace risk department personnel and workman’s comp insurance incompetency, I was finally turned over to Dr. Lechner. From the moment of checking in with the receptionist, intake with the nurse, and finally the consultation with Dr. Lechner, I no longer felt like just a number in the system. Dr. Lechner’s explanation of the injury and his plan to restore the injured area set my mind at ease and made me feel like they were there for me. At the post op appointment Dr. Lechner provided a full explanation of what the procedure revealed, what he did, and how to care for the procedure site to maximize results. Hopefully I will not need his services in the future but should I require this specialized care, I would not think twice about calling on Dr. Lechner to help.

Dr Lechner is a knowledgeable and highly skilled doctor and surgeon. He has treated me for various conditions for about 9 years, and performed 3 surgeries on me over the years (carpal tunnel, 2 trigger finger releases, and CMC Arthroplasty on both hands). He also treats my other trigger fingers (which are exacerbated by Rheumatoid Arthritis). He has always been friendly and professional with me, and I have never felt rushed by him. Several years ago, I recommended him to a client of mine at that time, who was suffering from the same hand condition that I was. He actually did two CMC Arthroplasties on her as well, she was also very happy with him. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone, who needs any kind of hand treatment.

Dr Lechner recently performed surgery on my dominant hand. And way back in the early 90’s he removed a granuloma growing around the nerve in my left index finger. From the time I called for an appointment to the postoperative release visit I was treated with the utmost courtesy, professionalism and kindness. I cannot remember all the names of his staff and the surgery center staff but no one has treated me better. Ever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

His professional knowledge and experience has aloud me to work longer in my field of Hair. His Manors are direct, but take the time to ask a funny question and he'll smile and give you a laugh back. The Surgical Center ~ all staff members work as a team and treat you as part of their own. They are all a Blessing to our recovery! Respectfully Kathy Ricci

The first time I saw Dr. Lechner he was called in by a local hospital on an emergency basis after a diagnostic liver scan with contrast went wrong and my whole arm swelled up....a potentially very serious situation. He was thoughtful in his approach and care over the following days and ultimately everything turned out well. Then years later after an injury I went to him after another doctor was suggesting two complex surgeries on my hand. Doctor Lechner told me that if I was a member of his family he would suggest I wait six months before even considering surgery. He was right on the money and the injury healed on its own. I have the utmost respect for Dr. Lechner and now he is the only hand specialist I would see. I believe he is The Real Deal!

I had surgery to fix a dominate hand index finger yesterday. They did a complete arm & hand nerve block. Tre' interesting. No day after surgery pain. I felt very comfortable around all the nurses and Physicians. I had a pleasant experience with a friendly staff. Dr. Lechner is a brilliant surgeon, very qualified and experienced. I read a negative review about his steady pace. I was not there to have a long visit with the man, I wanted a qualified surgeon and that is what I got. Great job from Dr. Lechner and his friendly staff.

I injured my hands when I was in my 50s. In a bad economy I'd popped a parachute that was colored "Home Remodeling." It worked well for me for quite a while. The problem I had was that my brain had not received the message (chose to ignore the message was more likely) that I was no longer in my 20s. After the third injury to my hands I learned to slow down. Dr. Lechner attended to me on all three occasions. The first injury involved me crushing the tips of a few fingers, not the entire tips, just that sensitive part underneath. The part we feel delicate things with. I required a skin graft, and Dr. Lechner did an outstanding job. The second injury required Dr. Lechner open the palm of one of my hands to remove a splinter. This wasn't just any old splinter. In fact, to call it a splinter is misleading. It was chunk of wood that I had slammed into the meat of the palm of my hand while hand sanding a deck. Dr. Lechner remove it cleanly with no scarring. You can't even tell he was in there. The third injury (I was getting to know Dr. Lechner pretty well by this time) was to a tendon of one of my fingers. I got in a hurry using a chainsaw. This injury only required a brace for a few weeks. I can always tell a doctor that loves his/her work, and Dr. Lechner is one of those. I hope I don't ever need a hand surgeon again, but if I do you can bet I'll be calling on Dr. Lechner. I'm sending my older son to him to have a "splinter" removed from his hand now. Like father, like son.

I needed bilateral carpometacarpal arthroplasty. I had my left hand done first. My incision is very small. I compared it to the same surgery with other people who had different surgeons and it was a huge difference. My pain is nothing compared to before. I am so thankful for Dr. Lechner skills. Planning to get my right hand as soon as possible. I am a RN and I would recommend him with the highest praise.

Improperly using a knife (being an idiot), I sliced through my index extensor tendon, a very important muscle if you are a musician and craftsman like me. I was referred to Dr. Lechner by the urgent care, saw him the next morning, and was in surgery the following day. I am very happy with how quickly he scheduled me in, his many periodic check ups have been more than I expected out of a busy man, and I'm very happy with the ongoing care from him, his team, and Jeff, my physical therapist.
