August 1, 2023
Dr. Lenert is the kindest, wisest doctor and without his close attention to detail and obvious empathy toward my situation I would be in even more emotional and physical upheaval than I already am.

June 22, 2023
Actually feeling like I was involved in my care because Dr. Lenart took time to explain things to me and help me understand the CT results.
June 21, 2023
Dr. Lenert was very personable and seemed genuinely interested and concerned with my care. He asked enough questions to get information about symptoms that I was having (that I didn't realize were symptoms) to determine additional follow-up was going to be needed. He also reviewed a recent CT scan (available in my med. Record) and showed me where the issues were (which were visible on the scan) on the image. It was very helpful for me to see that scan and have some of the details explained. No other provider has done that and I really appreciated it and felt like I was better informed.
June 21, 2023
I appreciate the time he took to look up my records to know my case. He told me my hand arthritis was osteo not rheumatoid.. He said my hands are soft which is very good, and that the [ID] is working very well. He lowered the dose which to 8 instead of 10 which I appreciate.. He answered my question about [ID] He took time to examine my hands and my legs plus my heart and lungs. I am so grateful to have him as my doctor now!! Thank you!

Dr. Lenert is the most caring, compassionate and knowledgeable Doctor I know. Anytime I have a question he gets back to me right away on my chart. He lets me decide how to proceed with my care after giving me all the options. And then reassures me if I change my mind he will be there to assist in any way he can, as long as it is in my best interest.

Dr. LENERT is it a top rated Doctor Who is compassionate, wise, tender and kind but on this visit, he was shocked at the condition of my health!!! I had not seen a cardiologist in over four months and he was angry to see that doctors and [...] had allowed me to get this poorly. I was having trouble breathing and talking at the same time; I was having trouble walking and breathing at the same time given the large amount of fluid on my abdomen causing me to have hi blood pressure and high heart rate while just sitting visiting with him about what was going on with my health. He immediately can you insert by me and asked me to stop talking while he listened to my arteries in my neck, etc. Then he told me not to talk as he could tell I was having labored breathing. And he was going to TypeHe then went to his computer and sent in her office memos to specialist at [...] hospital asking them to see me as soon as possible. Within three days I saw a NEW Cardiologist and had appointments for two more doctors. I love Dr. Not only because he gives me the kindest most gentle injections between the bones in my hand so that I can have called life to do "normal people things", but also because on that day he made other doctors pay attention to help me and he got things DONE, which NOBODY ELSE CARES TO DO!!!! I left there for the first time feeling there was hope for my life and a week later I did not have a big belly that looked like I was 11 months pregnant and I could walk and be in my knees; and IT IS ALL DUE TO DR. LENART

Dr. Petar Lenert is a brilliant, compassionate man. He is professional, courteous, thorough and authentic. My husband was sad that he missed coming with me to my appt to see him which says a lot. (Ha) He is a top-notch care provider and I feel I have the experience to recognize exceptionalism with my hx of working with healthcare providers. I also appreciated the interactions between doctor and resident physician. True assets. A+
