Dr. Lechtzin is excellent. He gives me 45 mins, listens carefully, addresses my questions, gives me suggestions and I never feel like I'm being rushed. He also responds to MyChart questions promptly. Same excellence every visit. Best doctor I've ever had.

Good communication with my doctor through email while he was out of the office during March and April. He was still able to give advice and got quick answers back by email.
