4 out of 5 stars

Dr. Lerner is very nice and does take the time to listen to your concerns and provide useful recommendations. She gave me a referral that I was desperately needing. Dr. Lerner is not my normal primary dr that I see in this facility, yet if possible I would consider changing to her rather than the one I currently have.

Dr. Lerner seems to go through the motions and does not have personal interactions. On multiple occasions Dr. Lerner suppressed yawns and it was most notable.

She helped me with my situation and fixed the issue of pain. She gave me suggestions and concerns and informed me of what might happen if the pain did not go away. When I got home I did what she said, and she solved the issue. I am grateful. The team at Hartford Healthcare makes you feel like they care. They listen well and seem genuinely concerned about what is going on.

Dr Lerner very good about any questions and services I asked about

4 out of 5 stars

I only said fair bc she wasn't able to answer some questions, BUT she said it was bc it's out of her expertise, and therefore she didn't want to speak to it. She DID give me referrals to people who could answer my questions

Dr. Lerner is VERY knowledgeable and helped me pick different medications that would fit my current condition more properly. I appreciated her input and the ability to start things over at a different dose to help me more slowly get to where we want to be.

My issue is getting to see my PCP. If it is a scheduled visit - into the future - that is fine. If I am not well and would like to see my PCP, that is not a high probability occurrence. The PCP might be available months from the request. Next the question is if I would care to see someone in the practice. Yes, that is preferable but most times, those doctors are also months away. So then it is suggested to go to HHC emergency. So I do that or end up at CVS Minute Clinic. So, why do I have a PCP again?

Dr. Lerner is my new PCP, after 20+ years with Dr. Sankaran retiring last year. So I was not sure what to expect. Have seen Dr. Lori Lerner 6-8 times now, and with each visit my comfort level increases. She is patient, listens to my concerns all while taking incredible notes. I am relived to have a wonderful, caring new PCP as I get older (which is a good thing!). Highly recommend Dr. Lerner, as she is an excellent physician, and an extremely intelligent individual. My wife is now also under her care.

I called to schedule an appointment after having had COVID for two weeks, and instead had a video visit with Dr. Lerner less than two hours after I called. Dr. Lerner’s medical advice was helpful and reassuring. I’m grateful to all of the staff at Hartford Health Care for their professionalism and care.

I have been a patient of Lori Lerner for several years. She and the Avon staff are always pleasant, friendly and so caring. Lori, in particular, always makes me feel comfortable and NEVER rushed. She takes her time, is empathetic and so knowledgeable. Thoroughly pleased with my care
