6/7/2016: “One of the best gyn doctors I have had. She is caring and takes her time to figure out the problem. That cannot be taught and always feel taken care of by her when I leave.”
5/2/2016: “I am completely in love with Dr. Lerner! She's an exceptionally talented, smart, and caring Dr. who is beyond patient with her patients. When I met Dr. Lerner I'd been having pronounced anemia issues for a few months without seeing anyone who could diagnose why. When I finally got it narrowed down to GYN fibroids, I saw a few GYNs (before finding Dr. Lerner) who offered no treatment options other than hysterectomy (and at 32 years old, that wasn't an option). Calling Dr. Lerner's office not only did she squeeze me in for an urgent office visit, but she also spent all the time I needed explaining treatment options, outcomes, potential complications, and long-term prognosis. She and her staff got a minimally invasive surgery scheduled and approved with insurance in less than two weeks, and now after an easy few hours at the hospital today for the procedure I am fibroid free, with fertility intact! No incisions, virtually no post-op pain. Dr. Lerner took what had been a scary few months of medial uncertainty and quickly transformed it into a bright outlook for a healthy future. I couldn't be more appreciative and grateful!!”
9/28/2015: “I wanted to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to you & your staff for the way I was treated leading up to and during my myomectomy last month. Your office staff was conscientious & professional. In addition, the ladies in the operating room were amazing. I remember a wave of fear hitting me in the OR right before the operation; their response of kindness, comfort, & reassurance was invaluable to me in that moment. Finally, I thank you for your expertise, your patience with my many questions, and your flexibility. I am so grateful. Please pass along my thanks to the rest of your team as well. “
7/13/2015: “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.” Feedback from our patients 2014-2015 “The staff was very helpful. The nurse was very courteous. The doctor explained everything in detail. Had the privacy I needed. The staff is very courteous. I didn't have to wait too long.”

Everyone was professional and the facility is kept clean. I would definitely recommend this practice to others. I basically had no wait time.”
“ Dr Lerner is the best! As a provider she really TAKES HER TIME in explaining and answering questions. Leaves no room to feel confused and/or rushed; at no time did I feel leery and/or concerned about her abilities to perform my procedure. She was so thorough during the time I met and worked with her as my provider. She even makes herself available by e-mail and responds promptly. Just the best!”
“ I came to Dr Lerner about my fibroids, but she also saw another mass on my leg in the MRI she ordered. She not only encouraged me to have the mass looked at, she reached out to more than one oncologist to make sure I was seen right away. Her diligence saved my life. I didn't know the mass was malignant. The staff is always professional and kind. Love this practice.”
“Dr. Veronica Lerner. She is professional, respectful and a great doctor. Very attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. Great bedside manner. Great at getting back to you.”
“Dr. Lerner is the best GYN doctor I've ever had.”
6/16/14 “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.
7/30/2014 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. 3/15/2014 “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.”
6/18/2014 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.

8/2014 Patient P:
Dr Veronica Lerner has performed a laparoscopy (robotic surgery) on me in November last year and removed some areas of endometriosis. I am grateful for the knowledge and skills that she possess and really want to express my huge thanks for what she has done for me.
Through the entire procedure, from my initial appointment prior to surgery to discharge from the hospital and recovery time I felt totally supported and in professional hands. I was given an excellent explanation of the prognosis and treatment options. All aspects of surgery and after care were explained very clearly. The efficiency with which the surgery was performed was very impressive. Many women in my situation struggle unsuccessfully with infertility and I do believe this surgery has made a huge difference to me and my chances of conceiving. I did not have to wait long for the results :) Thank you so much to you and all your wonderful team!
7/2014 Patient S:
I would absolutely and
wholeheartedly without reservation recommend Dr. Lerner for fibroid surgery.
I had 3 fibroids, one in particular was a very large one which
5/2014 Patient I:
I am very thankful to Dr. Lerner, and if to take time back, I would choose Dr. Lerner as my surgeon thousand times again. Doctor Lerner is a doctor of integrity and sincerity, as well as, outstanding surgeon.
My search for the right surgeon was hopeless and endless task, I have consulted with five surgeons before I met Dr. Lerner . Being a medical professional worked against me, I developed very high standards and demands in medical care. Most likely, if I would not met with Dr. Lerner, I would still suffer from the excruciating pain and bleeding caused by multiple fibroids and endometriosis, that glued together all organs and tissues inside of my abdomen, a medical condition called “frozen pelvis”.
The minute I met with Dr. Lerner, I knew that she is the one who I would trust with my health, and who would do my surgery.
Dr. Lerner was the only surgeon who explained in the details the problem, the surgical options available for treatment with cons and pros, and my recovery period. I also received a whole folder with printed-out information to review about my health condition and her email, in case I have further questions.
Our next visit we booked time for surgery and spent time planning my surgery, and overlooking all possible complications. At that time I knew exactly what to expect after surgery and how long will take the recovery. I left from my second appointment with approximated pre-plan for the time off from work, for post-surgical pain management, for post-surgical diet and allowed activities, as well as, the post –surgical appointment. Wow! I knew exactly what to expect for plan A and plan B.
The day of the surgery, Dr. Lerner called me in the morning to confirm that I am well and nothing changed. In pre-operative area, she reviewed with me the plan for surgery once again, and after that we signed surgical consent. I have only the positive impression from my experience at NYU Langone Medical Center. I received professional, skillful, and efficient care in the peri-operative, the post-anesthesia, and in the inpatient units. Dr. Lerner came to visit me first thing next morning with details and pictures from my surgery.
My recovery was very easy and almost painless. I knew what to expect and what to do, and Dr. Lerner was always available for all my concerns and questions. Dear Dr. Lerner, it is almost a year after my surgery and I feel great. I hope that my experience with you would help others to make a right decision: to choose her as a surgeon!
Patient T 9/2/2013 My experience with Dr Lerner and her staff was nothing but extremely positive. I had a condition that needed surgical intervention and came to her after being disappointed by my local options in Westchester. At my initial consultation I was extremely impressed by the amount of time that Dr Lerner spent with me. She was frank and open and addressed my concerns, giving me a few options. When I made my decision to go forward, her office was extremely helpful in arranging my surgery, even when my schedule made it complicated. My pre-surgery appointment with Dr Lerner was also very reassuring, as she explained the surgery, and we openly discussed different procedures. Again, I found her approachable, open and very easy to communicate with. The day of the surgery, Dr Lerner was not only professional and extremely competent, but in the O.R., she could see that I was a little nervous as the staff prepped and stood next to me, talking to me about books, vacations, little reassuring things that made me feel better. When it comes to surgery, the end result is the most important thing, and I have to say that I am healing very nicely. Dr Lerner gave me options that other doctors said I didn't have, spoke to me openly and respectfully about my condition and the choices available to me, and performed the procedure with skill and no complications. I know I made that right choice going to Dr Lerner. Patient L 8/27/2013 I recommended Dr. Lerner highly and without hesitation. I needed surgery for endometriosis. I was referred to Dr. Lerner for the surgery. Dr. Lerner has a calm, knowledgeable countenance. Some may think it too conservative, but to me it is how Dr. Lerner patiently listened to all my concerns and questions and answered them with information I could take with me. And did I have questions. I preferred to email my several lists of questions, even questions I thought might be unnecessary but had to ask before the surgery for peace of mind. She answered them all, thus building my trust. I have been to many doctors that just want to tell you what they are going to do, because as we know, time is valuable and short. Well Dr. Lerner calmly takes the valuable time. More importantly when my fears got the best of me in the operating room, as I sat onto the operating table she stepped in and gave me the much needed bedside manner at just the right moment before the surgery. I was scared, she saw it and did something about it to help me. Post-surgery questions she answered as well. I recommended her highly.
Patient S 8/24/2013 Dr Lerner is one of those exceptional doctors, in the top echelon of the medical field. She is knowledgeable, highly skilled and also, extremely authentic and 'real'. She has consistently taken the time with me during each appointment, treats me with respect and explains/answers all questions without bias. I trust her completely, and know that I am in the best and most capable hands. I recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking an exceptional doctor, a specialist in her field and also, a real, inspiring and caring person. I consider myself fortunate to have found her, and to be one of her patients. I wish she could remain as my regular OB/GYN. I've yet to find one on a par with Dr. Lerner.
Patient K 8/23/2013 Dr. Lerner is an excellent doctor and surgeon, and I am so thankful to have found her. She is so unbelievably personal-- even corresponding with me promptly via e-mail whenever I have questions or concerns. She performed my polypectomy, and was so diligent about making sure that I received the surgery as quickly as possible after I was turned down by another surgeon. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a gynecologist or gynecological surgeon.
Patient E 8/23/2013 I cannot say enough about how fantastic Dr. Lerner and her office have been. Her staff are courteous and responsive. Each time I have been to her office, there is little wait time. I am only sad that Dr. Lerner is not my regular OBGYN. I was referred to Dr. Lerner after dozens of doctors’ appointments (and months of consults) over a troubling ovarian cyst. I was an my wits end, extremely uncomfortable and highly stressed and frustrated trying to get to the bottom of the problem. After my first visit with Dr. Lerner I already had my surgery scheduled. Not only that, but she was thorough, compassionate and very knowledgeable. She explained everything to me, from my scans, to the issue, surgery and recovery. She listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. After the surgery my family also stated how impressed they were with Dr. Lerner. She immediately informed them of my condition post-op and answered all of their questions as well. She also followed up with me the next day and helped to book my follow up consultation so I didn't have to worry about doing it on my own while recovering. She is a fabulous surgeon, and I am so grateful that I found her after months of searching. I highly recommend Dr. Lerner and would only go back to her practice in the future if needed. Patient S 7/20/2013 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 completely 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.
10/21/2013 I found Dr. Lerner to be very informative and helpful. 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.
