Dr. Lesser is a wonderful doctor. He thorough and very compassionate. He genuinely cares and explains the best way to proceed to insure a better quality of life. The staff is terrific and the office is immaculate and very modern. I recommend this specialist . The new office on Quentin Road is especially modern and nice. It was a pleasure to return to the new office after 2 years. I am confident this Doctor will help me to manage my health issues as he has done in the past. I highly recommend Dr. Lesser as a Rhematologist.

I never write reviews but after reading these reviews and my experience I had to. The office was lovely quiet very attentive staff no one was in the waiting room at the time I went. The doctor spent one hour with me. I never had that experience with the doctor. I did not feel rushed he was absolutely amazing. He was very thorough I highly recommend.

The secretaries at this place are incredibly rude and unprofessional. Their attitudes really stink and its so difficult to speak on the phone without being cut off or having to deal with whatever bad mood they're in for the day. It's definitely not worth it going through the trouble of the secretaries there just to see this doctor every time you want to be looked at. The extra 45 minute wait for the appointment (on a early afternoon weekday) just lets me know that even with a less than busy office, I have to have a lot of time, energy, and tolerance for disrespect than I'm willing to force out of myself. This is a service, not a favor and I think this office should hire people that understand that a lot better.

Worse doctor I ever encounter. Besides over a 2 hour wait time, he does not address your concerns, aches or pain, have the nastiest remarks. For example, My legs were really swollen mostly in one leg and he told me I need to see my primary care. I have pain in my neck and right knee and totally ignore my complaints. Even refuse to prescribe anything for the pain. Rhuemotologist are hard to find especially a good one. I prefer to live without one if lesser was the only one available. Reception is lie and nasty. Changed my appointment to a later time to accommodate a white girl.
