Matthew Lemer

Amazing doctor. Caring, kind, he listens and he explains the medical details so you can understand.

Dr Lemer is awesome.

Holy moly after a bad experience with my last urologist about an issue I’ve had for years, Dr Lemer was incredibly refreshing. Well spoken, caring, listened, was enlightening, and his staff was wonderful and kind as well. While women go through procedures like this regularly, men do not and I couldn’t give enough praise about how this doctor just guided me.
Would recommend based on this appointment — new patient was in and out in less than 90 minutes, with two ultrasounds, an exam and a consult. Incredible.

I’m too young to know much about urologists but in all honesty dr Lemer has been the best doctor I’ve even been examined by… And I mean _​really_​examined by. I know women are more accustomed to these kinds of exams but for men it can be a rude shock when you see the instruments and find out where they’re going.
Over the past 2 years, he’s been non-​judgmental and very thorough. Most importantly, Dr Lemer listens to me even when we disagree! If you need a urologist I’d highly suggest giving his office a call.

A completely dysfunctional NYC office staff is my only way of describing the insanity of trying to have my medical records sent to my new urologist. Tomorrow is my appointment and the records have not yet been received. I personally went to the office two weeks ago to sign for their release. I gave them my new doctor’s information and telephone number. I was reassured that the records would be sent asap. I’ve contacted them at least 4 times since then. The office staff are all really sweet and nice to speak with, however they are not qualified to do this work and should perhaps take up weaving or pottery.
Dr. Lemer prescribed Cipro for a urinary infection. He knew that I had a serious problem when I returned for my check up and told him that the heal of my right foot hurt, which normally one does not tell to a urologist; but he immediately said the «Cipro». I was never warned that exercise should not be performed when taking Cipro. But then again, some doctors know about the serious side effect and the class action law suits against Cipro and some do not. Perhaps he just did not know the correlation with exercise and Cipro? I will give Dr. Lemer the benefit of the doubt. He is a terribly nice guy. I hope that now all doctors do know?
So I should warn you, that Cipro can cause Achilles tendinitis which I endured for nearly 9 months of pain with tears in my tendon and was hardly able to walk. It has taken me 2 years now at 71 years old to finally get back to the gym and back in shape after much physiotherapy. Thus I am changing my urologist!

Dr. Lemer has been the go to urologist for our family, he has treated two of my twenty something kids for kidney stones over the last year and a half. He has been caring and attentive. His office staff, particularly Kim was very helpful.

I was called by this guy’s office to advise me that he was running half an hour late. It happens and I appreciated the call. When I got there, I waited for another hour (total 1.5 hours). He came in, no apologies; no explanation. As if my time is less valuable than his. I had my scheduled procedure done WHILE HE WAS TEXTING THE WHOLE TIME (no exaggeration — texting. the. whole. time. while the nurse/​assistant/​whatever was administering the test) and he told me the pain I felt was «profoundly abnormal.» Since he was late, so was I and I had to leave to make it to an important meeting. He told me that he would call me later that day to discuss the procedure. He didn’t. Of course I was (and am) concerned about what was so «abnormal.» I called the next morning and asked the receptionist to have him call me. He didn’t. I called around 4 and asked again that he call me that afternoon or evening. He didn’t. Not happy, I called this morning and asked again that he call me. Nope. I called again around 5 and asked that he call me this evening. (Each time I explained to the receptionist what he had said and why I was concerned.) He still hasn’t called. It’s going on three days since seeing him and I still have no idea what is «profoundly» wrong with me. Who DOES that? I’ve had better service from auto mechanics, yet it’s my internal organs at issue here, not a carbuerator. Who the hell IS this clown? No response? TEXTING?? Tomorrow, I call one of his partners. If he hasn’t called by tomorrow afternoon, I call the State. Beware folks. There are a lot of urologists out there; stay away trom this one.

If I could give zero stars I would. I hate giving a negative review but here it is deserving. After performing 2 scheduled tests for kidney stones, and calling the doctor’s office several times for my results they never got back to me. I had a simple 24 hr urine test and was informed by mail that they had my results. I also had another test done and was told by the hospital the doctor would have my results in 3 days. When I called the receptionist was incompetent. She told me they didn’t have the results and had to call the hospital for the first test and would call me back once they got the results. For the 24 hr one, she gave me some other bs excuses.
Weeks went by and I tried to call again and got nowhere. Same crap. 2 months later and still no call for EITHER test. I gave up and just hope that the kidney stone issues are not serious. I cannot have any respect for a doctor who will not follow up with his patients and at least give them the common courtesy of a phone call to give them the results to tests that were PAID for.

I don’t think it gets more embarassing than a trip to the Urologist, but Dr. Lemer is professional and competent, so that helps. His office is clean and pleasant. It’s no problem making appointments and getting in to the dr. on time. Super gay friendly and not judgmental (so he doesn’t assume every problem is an STD like straight doctors do). Highly reccomended.
