Dr. Lerner is one of the kindest, most thorough, most skilled providers I've ever seen! She trusted my decision to get sterilized as a childfree 20-something, for which I am eternally grateful. She even got on a video call the day before the procedure with me to talk through some last minute concerns I had. The surgery (bilateral salpingectomy) was definitely no walk in the park, but she and her team gave super clear directions and I knew what to expect at every step along the way. I'd recommend her to anyone! read more

Dr. Lerner and her team are truly the best. I had the vNOTES procedure for my hysterectomy, and I couldn't have asked for better care. The surgery was minimally invasive, my recovery was surprisingly easy, and both she and her staff thoroughly guided me through every step so I felt completely prepared before and after the procedure. I highly recommend her. read more

She Rocks!! I had a total hysterectomy. She performed vNOTES (vaginally assisted natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery) total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy McCall's culdoplasty. I was up and walking the same day. The entire procedure was done Vaginally. Dr. Lerner was so easy to talk to and her team was amazing. I could not recommend her enough. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Lerner enough as a surgeon. Thorough, brisk and deft -- from consultation to prep to surgery. She also took additional time and care during surgery to keep my procedure less invasive despite being a complex case. read more

I recently had surgery to excise a massive endometrioma in one ovary and deep infiltrating endometriosis. I spoke to many surgeons at NYU and was disappointed by their lack of responsiveness, care and respect. I did not want to feel like just another number. I was referred to Dr. Lerner by another doctor and she did not dissapoint. Dr. Lerner and I had many virtual consultations where she explained in detail pre-operative care, details of the surgery and post-op care. She always had time to answer my questions. She treated me with respect and compassion. Her admin team led under the tutelage of Nadia was incredible. They are so responsive, polite and organize everything for you unlike many other admin teams in NYC who are rude, non responsive and unprofessional. My case was more complicated than initially thought and she performed a tough five hour surgery. Her team was impeccable. At 8 am the next day Dr. Lerner called to check on me. Not many surgeons would follow up quite so quickly!! I admire Dr. Lerner and her team and look forward to fully healing and feeling better again. Highly recommend her surgical skills and compassionate approach!!! read more

My experience with this doctor was very negative, but it appears that most folks are satisfied with her. I assume that these people have health insurance that is much better than Medicaid. My conclusion is that this doctor has compassion for you when you or your health insurance will bring her the most monetary reward. If you've got Medicaid, be on your guard and/or run! She was pushing hysterectomy on me nearly the second I walked through the door, without knowing anything about my particular endometriosis. There was also something off about her manner. She had me do an MRI. It was during our second appointment, that I saw how much of a viper this woman was. She was adamant and persistent on me having a hysterectomy, which I was absolutely against. Huge red flag, since a hysterectomy doesn't cure endometriosis. She said that she wouldn't be able to help me in any way, unless I had one. Her icy cold manner, manipulative tactics, intimidating vibe, all reeked of someone that is a sociopath. I pick up people's intentions, and recognize sociopaths well. I left her office nearly in tears. I nearly died twice due to endometriosis. This doctor was my only option. I'm glad she helped women with better health insurances (according to the other reviews). But if you're in my situation, please be careful with Dr. Lerner. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Lerner. I had a complicated surgery with a very large fibroid that needed to come out and also needing a gallbladder removal at the same time. Dr. Lerner helped create a treatment plan for the fibroids that worked for me and helped me find a general surgeon at the same hospital to remove the gallbladder at the same time. I was also looking for a fertility doctor as well since with my large fibroid we were not sure if I would be able to save my uterus and she also referred me to one she trusted. She was always available when I had questions or random pain. Even on the day of the surgery when I was still nervous, she was comforting and said everything would be okay. I know with the size of my fibroid it was more difficult to remove laparoscopically but Dr. Lerner was able to do it. She followed up the day after to make sure I was doing okay and not in too much pain. 6 weeks out now and I am feeling great and like a new person thanks to her. read more

Only good words about experience with dr.Lerner and her team! I have been struggling with a really bad pain during my periods and also unexplained infertility... Dr. Lerner performed my surgery and removed endometriosis ( stage 3). I am pain free now and was able to get pregnant. Thank you Dr. Lerner for your help, your constant communication with me before and after the surgery, your incredible team! Dr. Lerner is amazing, thanks to her I have pain free life! read more

My surgery in 2020 with Dr Lerner went very smoothly. I most appreciated Dr Lerner's expertise, bedside manner and general hands on communication. Her whole team was on top of things and I felt I was in good hands throughout. At a routine exam the other day, my medical provider remarked on how the surgical scars are barely noticeable. It's quite remarkable! I am very grateful to Dr Lerner for excellent care. read more

I feel very fortunate to have been referred to Dr Lerner. She listened to my concerns, was thorough with her exam and prompt at getting back to me with results. She treated me with great respect, explained results, disease and treatment options. We discussed the best option for me and I felt a part of the care process the entire way. I HIGHLY recommend her! read more

I honestly never take the time to right reviews, but when Googling Dr. Lerner's number out of laziness, I came across these reviews and just had to put my two cents in as it is so contrary to what some of the previous reviewers have said. I have had a chronic ongoing condition and have seen many, MANY doctors. I finally came to Dr. Lerner after a recommendation from a coworker. She was the first doctor to treat me as a human being and not some hypochondriac. She made me feel so comfortable, spent plenty of time in her office discussing options with me and making sure that all of my questions were answered. As we started pursuing surgical options, she made me aware of things that no other surgeon had regarding possible outcomes (even ones who were ready to schedule surgery with me within days). I felt more informed in one visit with her than I was with doctors I had seen multiple times. Dr. Lerner was especially mindful of the fact that much of what we were discussing was sensitive and that was clearly reflected in her bedside manner. The idea that someone would call her cold is so absurd to me based on my experience. read more

I had my Excision with Dr Lerner in May 2021, I had a previous Ablation and it just really didn't help I knew I needed an expert excision. She was amazingly talented and the went great she got every single bit. It's the only surgery I've had that the surgeon took time to help with gas pain and thought completely about aftercare and what the following weeks would be like. The care of her team was amazing and I could tell she treated everyone with respect that came into the operating room, she introduced me to everyone that would be there and told me exactly who would see me and in what positions. It was very calming, I'd highly recommend her for anyone looking for relief - for fertility or, for a better quality of life. She was also open to assisting helping me find a Endo proficient Gyno and OBGYN and Pelvic floor therapist. Highly rate the whole experience! read more

I made an appointment with Dr Lerner out of a recommendation from a client. She was 2 hours late which I don't mind really - I work in the medical field, not many appointments run ontime. What disappointed me was how judgmental and condescending she was towards my beliefs and life style. If you don't agree with the way a person lives their life, there is a professional way to voice that. I don't agree with everything people do out there but I don't try to make them feel down. Very disappointing. I hope others don't have the same experience. read more

I f$#*!)&! LOVE YOU Dr. Lerner. I found her when I was looking for doctors whose clinical interests include minimally invasive techniques. I tracked her down from NYU to her new spot. She's super intelligent, will address your concerns, and her time with me never feels rushed. And I'm not the most easy patient. :) read more

I would give her 0 stars if I could. It takes quite a while to get an appointment with her. Then when you do you will be sitting in the waiting room for at least an hour. In my visit with her, she only looked at my PAST medical records in order to give me the bad news. I questioned why she did not run any tests due to my being a new patient and eventually she did recommend an MRI. She is not very knowledgeable on patients with endometriosis yet claims she is. I will be looking for another professional who actually knows what they are talking about. read more

I very seldom find myself writing reviews, however this one was very much needed. I have had longstanding issues with my fibroids and decided that this was just my way of life. Although, I rarely complained my daughter advised me to explore my options with my issues of my fibroids as it would increase my quality of life. I decided to bring these issues up to my doctor, who then referred me to Doctor Veronica Lerner. Upon my consultation I immediately felt comfortable. Her knowledge and reassurance compelled me to schedule my surgery. Never in a million years would I have done this with anyone else. This was by far the best decision of my life. On the day of my surgery the entire staff went above and beyond to ensure my patient care from the moment I got to the hospital. Nina from her office, the Anesthesiologist and the rest of aftercare nurses. The level of patient care that was exerted far exceeded my expectations. I am beyond grateful to have had such an amazing experience with everyone I encountered.Thank you so much for all that each of you bring Northwell Lenox Hill hospital. You are all heroes. Dr Veronica Lerner & her team are the best!!!!!!! read more

Dr Lerner is awesome. She has a great blend of compassion and professionalism. She takes time to answer all of your questions and doesn't rush you - she ensures you feel fully informed. My surgery with her was smooth and successful, and she even worked to accommodate my schedule when picking a surgery date. She called to follow-up the day after surgery and give me a full report. I highly recommend her! read more

Dr. Lerner's bedside manner is a little brusque but in a great no-nonsense way that I appreciated. There is no B.S. with her and she takes the time to answer all questions, without impatience. She took my concerns about pelvic pain seriously (something my 2 previous gyns did not) and I was subsequently diagnosed with a 7 cm uterine fibroid. I ended up going in for surgery with Dr. Lerner and she was both supportive and capable. I am healing nicely and so glad I went to see her. Her staff is also very friendly and efficient. (A rare thing for an NYC doctor's office!!) read more

Veronica Lerner, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Manhattan, New York

After dealing with indifference and incompetence from a slew of doctors, Dr Lerner made me trust medical professionals again. She took her time with me to explain surgical options and their benefits, long term outcome post-surgery, and addressed all my questions, even the ones I forgot to ask. When it came time for surgery, it turned out that my body had tricked the ultrasound and MRI, and I had a different problem entirely. Dr. Lerner quickly adapted, and adjusted the procedure whilst keeping it minimally invasive. I was able to go home the same day, and she checked up on me the next. Throughout my recovery, she was always responsive to my admittedly overblown emails. Dr Lerner is gentle, respectful, incredibly knowledgable and thorough, and exceedingly capable. read more

A wonderful doctor and a great surgeon. Very professional, understanding, clear, straight to the point doctor. Minimal waiting time in the nyu office, very respectful to patients. Easy to communicate, addressing all my concerns before or after the appointment or surgery. I wish all my doctors were like Dr. Lerner. Thank you, Doctor! read more

Dr. Lerner is the best doctor/surgeon I have ever had! She was very logical, straightforward and thorough when discussing my diagnosis and provided me with handouts about my condition to read at home. Perhaps some people confuse this with poor bedside manner, but I found her to be extremely helpful and compassionate. When I met with her the day of my surgery and in the operating room, she made me feel really safe and calm (I was so nervous before!). Everything went fine and she called me the day after my surgery to check up on me. I'm healing nicely from the surgery and I feel so thankful to have found such a wonderful doctor. read more

If you are looking for a knowledgible and carrying GYN doctor, Please look somewhere else!!! Dr. Learner is obviously on the wrong field, Very unprofessional and "too busy" to adress your questions or concerns. read more

Dr. Lerner is a superb physician. I went to see her while on vacation and in terrible pain. She took the time to examine me, acknowledged all my concerns and was incredibly helpful. She is a no bs doctor, does not recommend unnecessary procedures, listens carefully. She is sharp, patient and gentle at the same time. I will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a gynecologist. read more

I found Dr. Lerner to be very informative and helpful. She is serious about her work but I did not take it an unfriendly attitude. I thought she was very professional and by explaining everything to me she made me feel comfortable. Many GYNs tend to ush things on you but Dr. Lerner, she advised me on what I needed to know and let me deide on my own what was best for my body. Her staff is very friendly and quick to follow-up. read more

I came to Dr. Lerner over a year ago with pelvic floor issues. She made me feel comfortable as we discussed options. She was always professional and took her time with me at each appointment. Eventually, we decided to try surgery which was successful beyond my expectations. Thanks to her, I feel like a whole, healthy human being again. read more

I was referred to Dr.Lerner because my Doctor could not perform the surgery needed, due to my endometriosis. My first visit with her she had no compassion, or bed side manner for how sick I have been, nor did she make me feel better about the outcome. I had to basically explain my disease to her. She then said if we were to do surgery we would need a colorectal surgeon involved (I have had two surgeries have never heard such thing), she emailed me the next day stated that she found a doctor at NYU that takes my insurance, I set up an appointment to go see this doctor, to then get a bill a week later stating he does not work with my provider. When I called Dr.Lerner she said oh well I don't know what to tell you, I cannot do anything about that, ( though she was the one who said he took my insurance, and set up surgery with him, but she has nothing to do with it)I said well now what about my surgery? She says well guess you will have to find a colorectal surgeon and have two separate surgeries sense I cannot find one to participate with me. I stated my concern of having to have two separate surgeries, if there was any way we could find maybe another gynecologist that was experience with the rectum, and intestines sense I have lost 25 pounds from not being able to eat, that was my main concern. Her reply was this relationship is not working, good luck, your surgery is canceled. She also asked me to get my medical records, no big deal? The hospital asked that I have her send over a request as well as they take the request a lot more serious when coming from a Doctor. When a nicely asked Dr.Lerner to do so her reply was verbatim "get your parents involved if you cannot handle it "I explained to her it was per the hospital request and her snide remark was not appreciated. I traveled from long island four times to this doctor, and testing spent a lot of money to do so, to be told good luck, your surgery is canceled, because I asked a question. It is disgusting, I do not see how she even has patients, she dragged her feet for two months, to cancel my surgery to now leave me right back at square one and sicker then I was. Maybe it was for the best she did not seem to know much about my disease at all anyway. But fair warning if you need a doctor with bed side manner, and who actually cares, and cares how you feel and your concerns do not go to her, I wish someone warned me. I have never written a review in my life but I am so disgusted on how she treated me, knowing how ill I have been, after my doctor fully explained it to her, she is in the wrong field. read more

I would not recommend Dr. Lerner. I asked her basic medical questions about issues I was having and not only could she not answer them, or even really attempt to help me figure it out, but she could not even identify the correct specialty doctor to refer me to. She was disinterested and unhelpful. Her bedside manner was cold to say the least, and I did not feel the slightest bit comfortable in her expertise. I will be looking for an new doctor. read more

Dr. Lerner is terrific and I highly recommend her; she does a thorough exam, and then spends time, talking about your health, your issues, and whether or not you really understand risks and benefits if you are on medications or if you need weight loss or sleep therapy .... whatever the issue she is completely interested and wants you to be active in your own healthcare. She is totally up-to-date in her knowledge. read more

Dr. Lerner is terrific -- she spends time and not only listens to what I have to say, but she makes sure that I understand what she is saying to me. She treats me as a whole person -- she is interested in my nutrition, exercise regime and issues of stress-relief. She really wants me to understand the entire picture of womens health and of the consequences of decisions we make in terms of medications and lifestyle. read more

I found Dr. Lerner to be a very thorough, easy to understand and very responsive doctor. I would accurate answers than hugs and I am not the most demonstrative of people so I found her to be a good fit. After having a dr that pooh-poohed my desire to not have children someone that assumed I knew my own mind was refreshing. read more

I was beyond impressed with Dr. Lerner. Superb bed side manner. Super patient. Answered all my questions with clarity and kindness. If you need a surgeon, she's the one. She's also stunning. Thank you! Anthoula read more

Dr. Lerner is very patient, friendly, and professional. She gave me a very thoroughly and detailed explanation of my surgery. She is also a sympathetic listener- when I could not understand a term or some English words, she explained in plain English and showed me pictures to help me understand everything. Our post-surgery checkup was scheduled on the third week, but she called to check on me on the second day of my surgery. She is a very nice, reliable, responsible, and professional physician and surgeon. I highly recommend her. read more

I had uterine fibroids that we're giving me some trouble and decided to go forward with a laparoscopic myomectomy to have them removed. My GYN referred me to Dr. Lerner. My initial meetings with Dr. Lerner were fine. She did not seem to be the most compassionate or knowledgeable doctor, but I figured she is a surgeon that has done many of these operations and experience should be my main concern so I scheduled my surgery with her. My surgery was successful and everything seemed fine until about 3 weeks later. I began to experience severe pain, fatigue and mobility problems for the first time in my life (I was a fit woman in my 30s with no pre-existing health problems). I reached out to Dr. Lerner immediately, but I was not able to speak with her until my post-op follow-up appointment a few days later. At that appointment, I explained what was going on, but it did not seem like Dr. Lerner was taking my concerns seriously. She told me it was probably just normal post-surgery recovery stuff, she ran some blood work and a few days later, when the blood work results came back normal, her assistant let me know. Unfortunately, my symptoms just kept getting worse and worse. I reached out to Dr. Lerner one more time after having seen a different doctor who suggested that I might have developed an undetectable blood clot following the surgery that could be responsibly for my symptoms. I wanted to share this information with Dr. Lerner and get her advice. She told me in no uncertain terms that "I did not have a blood clot" and when I asked her how she could be sure of that (she had not seen any of my scans or even spoken to me since our post-op visit), she began to repeat "what do you want from me." Needless to say, that was the last time I spoke with Dr. Lerner. I did eventually get the help and treatment I needed, but without any assistance - or compassion - from Dr. Lerner. If I had it all to go back and do over, there is no way I would choose Dr. Lerner as my surgeon. Unfortunately, we rarely know when life is going to saddle us with a health crisis. My best advice is to choose doctors you believe will be there for you even if the unexpected occurs. read more

My OB/GYM was unable to perform surgery, and referred me to Dr. Lerner. I was very nervous as this was my first major procedure. Dr. Lerner clearly explained everything, went over all my questions and made sure that I competely understood the procedure from prep to recovery, and had the foresight to schedule my post-op appointment before surgery so it was one less thing I had to worry about while recuperating. I felt completely at ease. Her entire office made me feel very comfortable, and I knew I was in good hands. Her nurses were efficient and friendly, and her secretary was amazing. She caught what could have been a major insurance issue before it happened, and readily fixed it for me. My surgery went well, and Dr. Lerner's thorough explanations of post-op care prevented any worrying and I was back on track, right on schedule. I wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend her high quality care. read more
