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. Dr Lenherr is my all-time favorite doctor!

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!!!

The dr. was supposed to set up a follow-up in office appointment and send some materials via mail to my home. She was also supposed to submit orders for a urinalysis at the Centerville UoU Med office. None of this happened. I had to call twice to locate the materials which were to be sent and never got them. On the Friday prior to the agreed date for the office visit I called and found out that the visit was never set up. I have not heard anything yet back from the dr.

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.

At this visit I saw Dr. Lenherr. Dr. Lenherr explains everything in detail and in terms that are very understandable. She is kind, caring and very knowledgeable in her field. Dr. Lenherr had new suggestions for my well being and I appreciated that. She is an energetic person and very down to earth type. I wish her well with her upcoming delivery and look forward to seeing her in the future! I would certainly recommend Dr. Lenherr to others!!

UofU Patient July 06, 2017

excellent bedside manner. my concerns and quality of life were taken into account in every aspect. I felt like she really respected my opinion, and she provided me with all of my options.

UofU Patient July 04, 2017

Love this dr. she is wonderful.

UofU Patient July 03, 2017

I felt that I could speak frankly about my private problem, and the doctor and the medical student were respectful of me.

UofU Patient June 26, 2017

I am very pleased with the communication and decision-making I receive with Dr. Lenherr. My condition is steadily improving, and I attribute this to the care I receive from her.

UofU Patient May 27, 2017

UofU Patient May 22, 2017

Dr. Sara Lennher is extremely knowledgeable and professional.

UofU Patient May 14, 2017

Believe it or not, this was a very fun experience because Dr. and her asst. accepted my sense of humor and I hope enjoyed the lightness of the moment.

UofU Patient April 21, 2017

Dr Lenherr spent additional time with me beyond my initial concerns and made me feel very comfortable with her recommendations.

UofU Patient April 16, 2017

came into room stating that she had all these papers and what was she seeing me for? had not or did not read collateral info and had no idea why i was using up her very time. when asked why she was 80 min. late for visit iwas told her pts. were very complicated and proceeded to lecture me about a med. that i have not taken for several months but had been reviewed by other drs. in other clinics over a number of years. she was the most rude dr.i have ever met . session was awaste of time. i waited 80 min. to be insulted.

UofU Patient April 09, 2017

I did not know until after, bu Dr Lenherr was trained (in part) at the University of Michigan and as a former Ann Arbor resident, that was all I needed to know. I will recommend for all sorts of reasons, but the U of M connection is big.

UofU Patient March 15, 2017

I have always had a good experience each time I have had an appointment.

UofU Patient February 26, 2017

They were great

UofU Patient February 23, 2017

I was completely delighted to meet a urologist that understood my issues,addressed them & I left feeling hopeful and looking fwd to next appt! that's a first for me;)

UofU Patient February 14, 2017

Dr. Lenherr was exceptional! She showed compassion, intelligence and genuine concern for _____.

UofU Patient February 13, 2017

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.

UofU Patient February 12, 2017

the neatness in her person was a little less than I desired, but not a big issue.

UofU Patient February 10, 2017

Dr. Lenherr is excellent!

UofU Patient February 07, 2017

Love Sara. She eases my cares each time I visit. She doesn't give up on me. Makes me feel like my condition is treatable.

UofU Patient February 06, 2017

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!

UofU Patient February 06, 2017

kind, knowledgeable, concerned, able to address patient's questions and questions, good to follow through after appointment

UofU Patient January 03, 2017

I have had a lot of issues with the clinic and their communcation. Im not going to say if I would recommend anyone go there right now.

UofU Patient December 30, 2016

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.

UofU Patient December 29, 2016

The doctor is excellent.

UofU Patient December 25, 2016

megan is a wonderful blessing

UofU Patient December 01, 2016

All good.

UofU Patient November 26, 2016

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

UofU Patient November 22, 2016

U of U Med is always good

UofU Patient November 14, 2016

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!

UofU Patient November 13, 2016

Dr. Lenherr was wonderful at helping me with my fears and concerns. She went out of her way to take good care of me.

UofU Patient October 24, 2016

She was very kind and patient and listened to what I said when trying to explain my problem.

UofU Patient October 11, 2016

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.

UofU Patient September 23, 2016

Dr. Lenherr was so thorough and took time to actually address all of my concerns!

UofU Patient September 01, 2016

I really appreciated Dr. Lenherr"so knowledge and treatment recommendations. Her help and advice helped me in my decision making process of whet to go from here.

UofU Patient August 21, 2016

Dr. Lenher has my gratitude for helping improve my quality of life. thanks.

UofU Patient August 20, 2016

I was very sorry to see Dr Southwick leave, but Dr Lenherr fills his shoes very well. I was very impressed with her knowledge, her manner, friendliness, etc. A very good replacement.

UofU Patient August 08, 2016

Dr. Lenherr and her staff as always were amazing. They are all very friendly and professional and I am so happy with the care I have received there.

UofU Patient July 31, 2016

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.

UofU Patient July 30, 2016

Dr Lehnner is very good. She makes me feel comfortable and at ease. She really cares.

UofU Patient July 17, 2016

Dr Lehmet was great. Thank you for having such caring physicians.

UofU Patient June 27, 2016

My problem was quickly corrected.

UofU Patient May 19, 2016

After about an hour and a half she came in and introduced herself and then left. We didn't see her for another half hour. We arrived at 11 am. We had another appt. at 1 pm. We finally left your facility at 1:05 pm.

UofU Patient April 26, 2016

They were all great!

UofU Patient April 24, 2016
