Dr. Craig Lehrman Patient Reviews

Dr. Lehrman was awesome! I have no complaints. I loved the results of my surgery and during all my pre and post op appointments him and the other staff were attentive and listened to all my questions and concerns. It was overall a great experience and has improved my daily life. So happy!!

Jordyn Hannon, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

Prior to a plastic surgeon, I was treated by him when he was a hand orthopedic surgeon in 2015, when I fractured my wrist, ulna etc. He was super and explained thoroughly pros and cons for surgery.

He does beautiful work, has one of the best bedside manners I've ever had, and he genuinely listens, unlike many in his field. His team are always professional and lovely people every encounter.

Mary James, Google Plastic Surgery, Dr. Lehrman

I could not be happier! Dr. Lehrman performed my breast reduction and completely changed my life! By far the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Lehrman and OSU!

Emily Curnutte, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

I had my surgery done April 16. Dr. Craig Lehrman is the best doctor! He told me I had nothing to worry about the whole time because we are always nervous about surgeries, but my breasts look amazing. I'm so glad I had the reduction done—I have absolutely no more back, neck, and headaches that I suffered with for years. The whole staff are amazing too. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Undina Wall, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

7 days post op from breast reduction, I was referred to Dr. Craig Lehrman and I am pretty impressed and very satisfied with my results. He was very professional and confident and I recommend him for sure.
