Comment from patient satisfaction survey

Dr. Sarah Lehnert is an excellent physician. She has a great fund of medical knowledge and is able to explain the diagnosis, treatment plan and the purpose of the care. Was very thorough in reviewing my recent MRI. Phone staff are always so pleasant when I call to schedule an appointment and the front desk staff at the Eagan Clinic are fantastic! I recommend Summit whenever I have a member who needs orthopedic care. -Submitted from RN patient

Patient Survey Comment

Dr. Lehnert was fantastic. She was sensitive to my pain and got me into see a surgeon that same day. Two weeks later I had surgery and my pain is GONE!! Top notch.

Patient Story

The first time I saw Dr. Lehnert was about 15 years ago. Result – surgery – each hand – trigger fingers. Then I sought her out for neck and lower back problems – relief in therapy. Then – broken bones in feet – different times. Also, shoulder issue resulting in surgery. For rotator cuff and bicep tear. I would seek her out for FUTURE care as I did for this injury. She is A+++! Staff too.

Steph's Story

Dr. Lehnert is exceptional. After seeing two physicians prior without success in finding an accurate diagnosis, she really listened to my concerns and did everything possible to determine the extent of the injury, keeping my best interest in mind as well as being receptive to my needs. She’s passionate, caring, and advocates for her patients. I highly recommend her and her team.

Survey Feedback

As a new patient with Dr. Lehnert, I was pleased with the information she gave me, suggestions for PT, the suggestion for a specific physical therapist, guidance to set up appointments for PT. Her general friendliness made me comfortable right at the beginning.
