Dr Lenherr is the real deal! She is so smart; she listens; she discusses; she is friendly; and I recommend her every chance I get! She had a student with her, and she was very thorough in explaining things to the student as well as to me - like a great teacher, eager to help us both understand, not demeaning in the least.

I have a great deal of confidence in Dr Lenherr. She is clearly very competent and direct, plus very kind and concerned. I appreciate her including me in the procedure, despite my squeamishness, and explaining what we were viewing. I'm still unsure of how to deal with my drainage issue, but Dr. Lenherr has given me some valuable suggestions and a path to move forward. I believe my issue will be resolved with time and additional help from my gynocologist. Thank you, Dr. Lenherr... you and Nikki are rockstars!!!

doctor came into the exam room angry at apparently what the nurse had told her. she may have been stressed because she was so far behind. and I dont know what the nurse told her or how she interpreted it, but none of these are reasons to blame the patient and to treat me badly. I saw the doctor for less than three minutes and was unable to ask her questions I had. I dont know why she was mad at me or why she took her anger out on me, but it was uncomfortable to say the least.

after testing was completed. I had to wait almost an hour to find out the doctor had left. The nurse said the doctor would call me with the results. After waiting 3 days I emailed the doctor via your system. After 3 days called to find out the doctor is out of office till Wednesday. so now Im waiting 10 days to hear results. I feel like a number vs. a person.

I have seen several doctors regarding this issue and each one has been super concerned and helpful about treatment. I was referred to Dr. lenherr because my case is complicated. she didn't offer any new information or really show concern for my problem. when I asked if I would hear back the next day about my urinalysis to see if needed antibiotics she said she had 45 messages in her inbox that needed to take care of first. felt pretty degrading for a doctor to openly admit that I was literally on the bottom of her list. they were also supposed to call to set up a follow up appointment and never did. and even then they were going to set it up for 6 months later when the issue is not even close to being resolved.

My care was split into 2 concerns. Dr. Lenherr addressed one in the post-test discussion, then asked me to complete logs for several days to determine approach to the other problem. I dropped them off immediately after completion and did not hear from her for 3 weeks, despite messages sent. When she answered, it was incomplete, did not include referral, did not address the greatest problem, and when I sent more question regarding this, I was told "I cannot continue to provide care for you over email. You can schedule a visit." She had not even answered what she herself said needed to be addressed in my 1st visit. She was rude, egotistical in front of the students (to the point one looked totally embarrassed) and uncaring. I would not see her again.

I already said in a previous comment that I felt understood and believed. finally had confirmation and confidence that my conditions were real and painful and that my life might be able to get better. my current local drs mostly shrug and give me sad looks, or claim my conditions are just "cover all" names for things drs don't understand or aren't a real condition that's painful. hopefully Dr. Lenherr will be able to speak to my local drs and explain to them what IC is and that it is real and can be disabling. it's not just in my head or magically curable.

Dr. Lenher was precise in her discussion and recommendations and left nothing to the imagination. She was also thorough in her examination, doing more than scheduled to find answers. Confidence is high that I have all the answers and options I need after a single visit. It was like going to a doctor in the 70s and 80s, very productive. All answers solid. No remaining questions. I am no longer used to insisting on this kind of service, but she did not allow me to leave with less than that. And--she offered me precise future care from her office/UofU Healthcare to boot (via instructions in the record)! All bases covered. And she was pleasant about it all, not that others aren't, but it was a lot.

Was referred to this urologist from previous doctor that transferred to Farmington. Very different experience. My previous urologist that had transferred to Farmington said to followup with this doctor. This doctor that I saw said she could not do very much to help me and I would have to try other treatments. She also told me that the GYN/UROLOGIST that I was also told to go to probable could not do too much for me. I felt hopeless after leaving.

Dr. Lenherr always includes you in treatments/Medications decisions, and always has mutual goals set in place, this makes me feel more confident in my Treatment, and that I am more in charge of my Health issue, and she listens when there is a problem so i can we can work through it!

I do like the suggestion Dr. Lenherr had about my condition. The pain I was having improved immediately. I still do have some urgency and leakage issues, but there is probably some time needed to heal, and these issues are slowly improving.

When I checked out I was given a bunch of written material on things that were not discussed. Not sure if it is information or a diagnosis. I was also told I needed to make an appt with a different specialist. This was not discussed with me, but I am happy to do so as I have other issues she can't help me with

I love Dr. Lenherr! After years of seeing urologist after urologist with failed results, they all just gave up on me and that was that. I found Dr. Lenherr and she has seen me through many tests, procedures, surgeries and we are trying again because she really understands my pain, and the discouragement I feel after each failed attempt. Together we decide each new step in attempting to better my quality of life!

I felt she/we were too rushed while she was typing up up the "Patient Instructions". I had a lot of, what I felt was pertinent information that she should be aware of the surgery, and although she didn'the ignore me, I wasn't sure she was really considering what I was saying. And when I got home and read throuhe the paperwork, most of what I had said was NOT included on the paperwork. I called the office about this and basically we reached the conclusion. that I should use mychart and send a message to my doctor specifying the information I felt should be added to the "Patient Instructions". I did so immediately as I hoped the doctor would see them before she talked to the nurse about whether or not my surgery was going to be scheduled for this Friday and what INR she wanted me at.

Dr. Lenherr is amazing. She is thorough, careful, caring, explains everything, makes sure she understands everything. She is everything a patient could want. Most doctors today are technicians, not scientists. Dr. Lenherr is a scientist, a listener, a thinker.
