Dr. Len here was excellent - attentive, thoughtful, professional.
In my twelve weekly treatments Dr. Lenherr was very professional and offered good advice.
Dr. Lenherr is a caring, kind, but to the point provider.
Dr. Lenherr is an impressive doctor and person. Clearly very knowledgeable, she is skilled in explaining each of her opinions and decisions. At the same time shes very empathetic.
Dr. Lenderr is amazing! I could tell right away she is very committed to her patient's well being. She explained my condition very thoroughly and answered all my questions without rushing. I feel I'm in the best care possible.
I will recommend Dr. Lenherr over and over, so very pleased with the great care I have recieved
She took the time to thoroughly discuss options with me and then we came up with a good plan.
Dr. Lenherr is great at her job and knows her job well. And is very personable.
I feel like the doctor doesn't know how to help me with my issue. She seemed to minimize my condition compare to patients "who are much worse". I didn't feel like I was treated with respect as to how my condition affects my quality of life.
I was put at ease after talking to the nurse and the doctor
I like Sara and am pleased that she will be performing my procedure. I feel I am in good hands.
Dr. Lenher is awesome!!!!!
Sara Lenherr is excellent This was my first time seeing her
Dr. Lenherr is an amazing physician, she is so good at keeping me informed and involved in my care and she is always patient and kind with me.
The doctor was rushed and treated me like I didn't know what was going on with my body.
The doctor is good at including me in my care
Dr. Lenherr is a wonderful provider!
Dr Lenherr doesn't stop until she has the problem fixed., and you feel good about the outcome. She explains everything to you in a way you can understand.
Dr. Lenherr was absolutely wonderful ! I couldn't have asked for a more caring doctor. Extremely knowledgeable and wonderful bed side manner. Thank you for being so amazing!
I love Dr Sara and her team they always seem to care about me
Dr Sara is a great person and an excellent Dr. She makes you look forward to having the procedure
Dr. Sara is very caring. She listens, and explains things in a way you can understand. I feel very comfortable with the procedure that I am going to have.
She really cares about me and my treatment. Always asks questions and listens.
If you looking for the best urologist see Dr Lenher. I have seen others - she knows much more than others. I am very pleased and feel I am on the right track
I love the care, she is a very good doctor! [TRANSLATED]
Just as was the case years ago, I felt I was in good hands when I was in Dr. Lenherr's care.
She was unprofessional and didn't seem to care about me and my feelings. Describing a solution that would cause more problems than I have now. Didn't seem like she understands the problem I have or how to fix it to make it better and not worse.
Extraordinarily caring and kind and did an excellent job.
Dr. Lenherr knows how to make the most out of the time you have with her. She's willing to hear you out and give you a professional opinion even if you struggle to describe your concerns.
Dr. Lenherr demonstrated competence, confidence, and caring. She was thorough.
Good I don't understand your MyChart results of the tests.
Dr. Lenherr was so kind and understanding, putting me at ease right away. She explained everything I needed to know in a way that was professional and yet easy to understand. I am very grateful!
Sara is very personable and explains everything in ways I can understand. She is cutting-edge on her methods and procedures. Trust her to give me great treatment
Dr. Lenherr was very thorough and helped to connect me with additional U of U health providers and facilities.
Although a highly credentialed doctor, her bedside manner was very poor, she was unprepared for this visit, and seemed very uninterested in my care. Interestingly enough, five minutes after we were told that we could wait beyond our 2.5 hour appointment for her to conclude her virtual appointment, a Summary of the Visit was posted on my chart. Peculiar.
Both the doctor and the nurse were absolutely great. By far the best urology appointment I have ever been to.
Dr. Lenherr provided me with excellent care. I have already recommended her to several friends with the same issues I had
I had a 5pm video appointment. at 5:25 shen no one showed up I left appointment. MD video called me at 5:30. Appointment was very good. someone should have notified me that the doctor was running late and given me a time frame
Although I have had the procedure done before the opportunity was given for me to address questions and or concerns
Very, very thorough explanations.
Everything was fine!
Dr Lenheer was fantastic.
Very attentive to me and answering all my questions and concerns, I felt genuinely cared about.
Sarah took the time to understand my concerns and to offer a test to understand what the problem might be. It is the next step that might help solve my problem I am having.
See my previous comments. But I have never trusted a doctor more.
The doctor was delightful, and incredibly helpful, during a difficult exam.
Dr. Lenherr took the time to listen to me. After my appointment, I felt heard and that my symptoms and quality of life were taken into consideration. We left with a plan of attack to figure out what and why this happened to me. Thank you!
Dr. Lenherr is great. She is clearly an expert in the field, is very personable and patiently listens to any concerns or questions. These days it seems like if you have a health issue it takes a long time to see the doctor. With my most recent issue, Dr. Lenherr scheduled a virtual visit with me within a week and performed a necessary outpatient procedure within a month and that would have happened much sooner but we were waiting to get in for an MRI prior to the procedure. This is one very satisfied patient.
She took the time to go over my medical history and concerns. I did not feel rushed, and she was sincere in trying to find the best avenue to proceed.
I would recommend her in a heartbeat!
Very caring and really smart
The staff just about bought to tears because Dr Lanfarr knew what to do. Had a plan and went to action. 4 yrs I have been trying to find out what is wrong. No answers just excuses from IHC
Very impressed with the Doctor, her approach and compassion
I consider her a trusted care provider and also a caring person in my behalf. I look forward to her care in the foreseeable future.
Dr Lenherr is the first to do any thing that could be described as a physical exam to determine a cause or condition.which I have had since the end of January this year.
Very friendly, professional, which led me to be very confident in the ultimate diagnosis
Dr. Lenherr was very professional, kind and treated me with respect and made me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Explained the procedure and results of my test fully in a means I could understand. Promised to get together with Dr. Hill and get back to me with a plan of action. I felt like they really cared about my care and situation.
Dr. Lenherr is the rare combination of extremely skilled and extremely personable. She's a superior provider!
I love Dr Lenherr, she's very personable and has a great bedside manner.
She is wonderful. She works hard for all her patients. She makes me feel cared for and understood. I wish all my doctors could be like her. I trust her!
Nothing but good
Good job
Dr lenher is the best doctor I have found to help with my bladder issues
5 stars for the staff.
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!
Dr. Lenherr was so knowledgeable. I was extremely impressed!
Great! Knowledgeable and compassionate
Very thorough.
Dr Lenherr is very compassionate and caring! She was able to give me hope for improving my situation.
Outstanding -- extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient.
She really showed that she cared about trying to find what was wrong and the fastest safest way possible to fix it. She explained everything clear and made sure I understood everything. She was was amazing!
Pleasant, knowledgeable and concerned due to health issue and current quality of life.
She performed a test upon me even though I didn't have an appointment with her or for that procedure. She put me at ease and was friendly and kind.
Great visit. I felt seen and heard .
She was very understanding and I felt she really cared abt my needs.
She is THE BEST!!!! So attentive and actively listens and then remembers that conversation 4 months later at my next appointment> She is sooooo skilled and the results are life altering for me. Thank Dr Lenherr and staff! [TRANSLATED]
She is the best doctor. She is very cordial to me everytime I go in and makes sure I know what is going on. I have been going to her for a couple of years and I trust explicitly.
From the minute she walked into the room, I could tell Dr. Lenherr was going to be great to work with. She was very personable and relatable, as well as very thorough. I'd recommend her to anyone.
I meet with Dr. Lenherr yesterday and found her to be a highly intelligent and friendly. She was able to inform me without talking down to me. She offered solutions to me condition and gave me hope for the future. She is very competent.
Excellent
An hour late for appt. being left in the freezing exam room with no bottoms on. Dr. was in a big rush. Impersonal. Just expected more from such a recognized physician. I needed a more immediate plan of action to my situation. I'm sure she sees the same medical issue hundreds of time a year. Almost a Ho Hum attitude. But my issue is about me and it's personal to my health and lifestyle. Don't know if she is the right fit for me. Regretting the year I waited getting an appt.
Dr. Lenherr is very understanding and can help me understand the processes and what might be next. She is friendly and is great with the nurses and aides.
Sarah took the time to understand my concerns and to offer a test to understand what the problem might be. It is the next step that might help solve my problem I am having.
Kind, professional, patient, thoughtful, definitely in my corner!
She is competent and caring
Very professional and skilled. I am at ease and know she will take care of ME.
She.appears to be a respected leader of her team. Great environment for all of us.
Dr. Lenherr was very attentive, supportive and focused on me during this initial visit. I felt valued as a patient,and hopeful for a positive outcome for my challenging incontentenance issues
Dr. Lenherr and her team were wonderful to work with. She truly listened and respected my concerns. I felt like I received outstanding care.
answered my questions
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.
Good
I liked her. She was helpful and understanding.
Dr. Lenherr is as accommodating as a physician can be. She listens. She is knowledgeable and caring!
Love the care I'm getting.
Felt very comfortable, which often I don't, when going to doctor's offices
Dr. Lenherr is very knowledgeable and professional, and a pleasure to talk to.
Pleasant and experienced in the procedure. Thank you.
Great "bed-side "manner, capable, caring, efficient, thorough. Explained everything with clarity.
Dr. Lenherr is very personable and caring. She spends time explaining options, answering my questions, and listening to my concerns. She is wonderful!
Great Dr! She is attentive and takes time to get to know me and takes my preferences into consideration when we are discussing treatment options.
Dr. Lenherr was friendly, thorough, took the time to explain my situation to me, go over options, and listened to my concerns. She was able to think outside the box and do other research to find the root of the problem. She was flexible offering a virtual follow up, and her staff follows through so if she is unavailable, her staff is reliable.
The best Doctor i have been connected with. Smart, helpful and eager to help me.
Only female doctor in Urology. She was excellent to go the extra mile to research the source & create steps 1,2,3 to resolve my problem.
Shes a very professional doctor. I have never had one to take such good care of me. and help me get the care I needed.
Thank you very much for the great quality of care, knowledgeable insights to my problems, and your expertise you've given me. And your friendly person to person chats!
Very compassionate physician.
First visit and she was great.
I really appreciate Dr. LENHERR. Her thoughtfulness and careing are rare.
Great personality, excellent skills, efficient, thorough, excellent treatment planning and follow through. Extremely knowledgeable and has given me hope.
We appreciate the care and kindness my son receives.
She covered all of the expected aspects of the appointment and then went the proverbial extra mile to provide immediate follow-up appointments with other members of the U of U Health Services team to ensure that continuity of care.
She believed me
Glad to finally be seen
She read reports of past tests and had ideas for care that were specific to my health issues, taking the full picture into consideration. I have some complicated situation, and he was right on top of it with ideas that we feel better. Very happy to have some for my urologist.
Good sense of humor and compassionate
Dr. Lenher is approachable, knowledgeable, and works collaboratively to listen, understand, and advise on my chronic condition. She's always a pleasure to speak with and is a wealth of knowledge. Dr. Lenher openly discusses my options, and supports my choices for managing my care in ways that work for my lifestyle.
I was not comfortable at this visit. It was the first time I have been prepped by a male assistant or had one present during the exam.
I was very late, but she still took her time with me. She even gave me a pelvic exam, and tried to explain what she thought was going on.
good experience overall
There was no explanation of the symptons and a follow-up appointment is needed but I have not received a call and I have called but with no success .
I appreciate the care and concern from my doctor and her assistant. They were very professional as well as friendly. I felt at ease. Thank you!
I felt talked down to and brushed some of my concerns aside. She did not seem concerned or interested in how I felt
Dr Lenher was wonderful!
The MA Kelly provided a significant amount of the excellent compassionate care, even prior to Dr. Lenherr's arrival. Dr. Lenherr was friendly, straightforward, compassionate and very responsive to my questions. She was also very reassuring about what I was experiencing.
I was so impressed with my care. I would recommend to anyone.
She was very honest and raw...I appreciate her complete professionalism! she's wonderful!
Professional and kind. Caring.
Dr. Lenherr was great. I let her know my concerns and she addressed them. Most importantly the procedure fixed my issue.
This doctor is the absolute most amazing one I have ever had. She fixed me ! Everything has changed for the better nowv. She is brilliant , helpful , explains everything . So understanding !!
Very direct about her thoughts and plans. It was nice to hear the why of her decisions.
Doc Lenherr is my favorite doctor of all time! She's been so helpful throughout the years, very knowledgeable, and her bed side manner is top notch! She's so caring, and i absolutely adore her! KEEP HER AROUND FOREVER!!!
Dr Lenherr is an excellent doctor. She is very professional, knowledgeable and caring.
Dr Lenherr was very good about listening to our concerns and explaining how she may be able to help me.
Thank you for the perfect procedure and nice explanation of my problem.
She is great!
Dr Lenherr is so caring and concerned about you as a person. She is helping me to be able to stay active with difficult bladder issues in sometimes creative ways. Not sure what I'd do without her help!
Sara is a very good dr and a person that really genuinely cares about you as a person
Incredible results from Dr. Lenherr.
Dr. Lenherr is very knowledgeable and experienced about my health condition, and provided helpful advice.
Very professional. Advice much appreciated.
She was very caring and explained things so I could understand
She was very knowledgeable about my problem and ia taking the steps to make it better.
Dr Lenherr is so knowledgeable, has so much experience, yet she spends time to explain, she listens.
When Dr. Lenherr was unable to get me cathed, she got two more doctors to come in and try. When they failed, no one explained to me that they were going to give me a permanent cath that would require me to wear a bag day and night. I do not know if there would've been other options available to me because I was not told until the very end that I was going to be wearing a bag until they could get me in for the surgery. I really would have liked to have been given the opportunity to discuss all available options for my care until surgery.
She is always very personable. Love her method of bringing things down to my level and answering all my concerns
Dr Lenherr is very skilled and efficient. At times her bedside manner is rude and demeaning.
Sarah Lenherr was very rude and dismissive
Sarah is Wonderful!
very patient
I am totally fine sharing my experience. I am very hopeful that Dr. Sara Marie Lenherr, MD had brought hope in resolving my problem.
she was rude and unprofessional and shouldn't be working with people.
Recently did a TOC to Dr. Lenherr. Very impressed with her and hopeful that she can get to the root cause of my lifelong recurring UTI issues. Dr. Lenherr's assistant did tell me she was running about 30 minutes behind schedule, but I tied up my phone for the virtual visit waiting nearly an hour for her to join the call. For virtual visits when a doctor is running nearly an hour behind schedule I think the nurse should call the patient when the doctor is ready so we aren't sitting on a video hold room on our phones (which ties up our phones and runs the battery down) for extended periods of time. I LOVE virtual visits, but some improvements need to be made when physicians are running behind schedule.
Very efficient, caring, and answered all my concerns.
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.
unbelievably great experience from demonstrating kindness, a willingness to listen AND then act to both act on the day of visit and developing a plan of action going forward.
I had seen other urologists before and was never impressed until I met Dr. Lenherr, she is the absolute best! She is always up-to-date on new treatments, medications and research. I appreciate that she works with me as an individual to find out what treatment works best for me.
Dr. Lenders is very smart and explained all of our procedures in a caring manner.
She was very pleasant and very concerned when I had some side effects
I had heard she is highly respected and knowledgeable. It turned out to be true.
Dr. Sara M. Lenherr is willing to take the time to fully understand the situation. She was willing to take time to call the previous Dr. to understand what is really going on, which is something I couldn't grasp. Hopefully, soon I will understand and know what's really going on as far as my health is concerned.
Dr. Lenherr is the best. She has really helped me with my problem.
Dr. Lenherr is always kind and professional.
If you schedule an online appointment, please at least show up - just as you would for an in-person appointment.
Very knowledgeable and shows concern and determination to find solution with condition. She's pleasant and her sense of humor removed stress during visit. I have hope I'm on right path for recovery after several years of other doctors unable to resolve.
as always,very professional
As previously stated, Dr. Lenherr is a such a pleasure to work with.
she's one of the best providers I have ever seen . she cares for her pts
Very dismissive and uncaring, did not address concerns, ignored multiple attempts to contact prior to appointment, kept waiting over and hour past appointment time, dismissive and uncaring, appointment was rushed.
Dr. Lenherr is excellent.
I am glad I found Dr. Lenherr. She is very knowledgeable and I trust her completely with my care
very caring and accomodating
Dr. Lenherr was very professional and her advice was helpful in dealing with my health issues.
Dr. Lennher is a great listener, explains things well, answered all my question, which were many, very knowledge and professional.
Sara and her staff are some of the best providers i have experienced in the U of U system!!
Dr. Lenherr was very short and rude during our visit. She came across as unconcerned about my son's recurring UTIs. When asked to explain the process of irrigating the bladder, I had many questions that she seemed to not have time to answer, so instead gave us a print out of instructions and also told us to reach out to the PNR team. She seemed as if she wanted to move on to her next appt. Will not be returning here.
Dr. Lenherr is an exceptional doctor. She listens. Often times I leave medical appointments feeling like I wasn't heard. It was a relief to have a doctor listen. I feel like she is genuinely interested in helping me. Dr. Lenherr is also kind, and showed respect during my procedure, and explained very clearly what was going to happen.
Dr. Lenherr has been wonderful about planning the reconstruction and correction needed to make my surgery go smoothly. She is a fabulous doctor and I'm extremely impressed with her. Thank you for your care Dr. Lenherr!
Dr. Lenherr was reassuring to me as the parent of the patient that the procedure was going well.
I love her, she is very thorough and shows a lot of caring.
Excellent services and professional in evey respect.
Dr Lenherr is very personable and obviously loves what she does. I trust her completely with my health issues.

Both the Drs that I saw were extremely patient, knowledgeable, caring and took the time to actually discuss, talk and explain things to me. Very impressed
Love Dr. Lenherr
Dr. Lenher was very patient with me. I became sick with a 103 temp and nausea. She was trying to explain, but nothing was making sense. I asked her if we could circle back at a new appt when I was feeling better. She was very understanding.
Kind and listens carefully
Dr. Lenherr was great and attentive.
Very good doctor

Dr. Lenherr is well informed, professional and kind. She is thorough and thoughtful in her diagnosis.
Sara is the best Urologist! That's why she's so booked out! I'm so glad she's got an assistant Rebecca, that is also awesome! I've changed my insurance just to keep her as my doctor!
Outstanding and extremely Professional
Very good appointment. Dr. Lenherr was very understanding and listened to my concerns, answered all our questions and set a plan in action for the near future.
She really cares for her patients above and beyond expectations .
Dr. Lenherr is always so relaxed that it makes me feel so comfortable. She's open and it is so easy to talk to her and ask uncomfortable questions.
Would highly recommend Dr. Lenherr.
Very caring. Doesn't give up on your problems.
Dr. Lenherr is our favorite Dr. She is really good.
I love dr Lenherr! she's compassionate knowledgeable and professional yet friendly and personable. she is great!
I felt she care very much finding the best procedure and way to make my life better and easy
Wonderful Dr. so knowledgeable and great bedside manner and easy to talk with.
Dr Lenherr went way above what I would have expected to use the concerns that I had I was extremely happy as a random pic I got to see her
Dr. Lenhere is really easy to talk too. She is great. So were the girl's that got me ready for my procedure.
My care provider was Dr. Sara Lenherr. She is very compassionate and accommodating. She suggests things and explains things. Most importantly, she takes time to listen to what my concerns are and tries to care for those needs.
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!!!
Dr. Lenherr is always thoughtful and helpful. She is not judgemental at all. I feel that I am heard..
Care provider didn't tell me much about the test results since she saw I had an appointment with another provider the following week.
Sara spent plenty of time answering my questions. Didn't feel rushed.
I would recommend this facility for care.
I like Dr Lenherr a lot. I used to just love her! She seems more rushed now than she did when I first started coming to her. I don't feel like she talks with me about new options or what other options may/may not be available. And we didn't talk in any depth about what my symptoms are and how meds/procedures are working. She keeps going back to weekly instillations and I don't like them. They haven't helped. They actually cause more pain. I don't have schedule conducive to a weekly treatment that hurts and hasn't helped. But I feel like that's just her procedure and there's no discussion of anything else unless I do that. But she didn't ask how I feel about it. Just told me I hadn't done it yet and to do it. Period. I also had questions about PT but she heard something other than what I said and laughed about it so I was too embarrassed to ask again. It just keeps feeling more rushed and like a conveyor belt and it's exactly opposite what it was when I first started with Dr Lenherr years ago and she told me to call her "Sara". I don't feel like I'm seeing Sara anymore I guess. I really miss her. I love the Sara side of Dr Lenherr. I don't mean to be negative and don't want her to be in trouble. But this is my honest feedback. Things change. People change. Drs and patients do too. Maybe it's not a fit. I hope it is but maybe it's just not. Maybe I'm just not. Not sure yet.
I havre already written my concerns to Dr. HILL. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lenherr to others, just not for this procedure
Excellent
Dr Lenherr assumed I was not willing to make any changes and when she found out what I drank during the day was very dismissive
Dr. Lenherr is very knowledgeable and qualified. Her advice was very helpful in resolving my health issues.
Looking forward to hearing from her about getting new catheter and setting date for Procedure in August.
