Love my doctor here. Always a great experience.
My issue is, why do they have a sign on the door saying masks required even if we are vaccinated? Let me tell you why I ask that. I walked in and saw several employees in the building not wearing masks and being around each other and patients that came in to sign in. Please explain this one. The rule should apply to everyone or get rid of it.

I have been searching for another doctor to give me a second opinion about my knee. I've been very interested in Stemcell and or PRP treatments. I notice Lemak offers both treatment options. I called Lemak's office 4 times, I left my information via voicemail 3 out of 4 calls and never received a phone call back.

Dr. David LeMak is outstanding! He has an awesome bedside manner! He explained my issue and procedure to me and my family in detail. No big medical terms! Recommend 1000%!

My knee surgery went great. I had serious pain the first two days, after that I had very little pain. I took my PT seriously and ice my knee regularly at home. I’m six weeks past my knee surgery, I have a slight limp and I’m on light duty at work. I’m hoping Dr. Lemak puts me back on full duty today.🙌🏾

I have come in a few times now over the last couple of years with shoulder pain. The pain is severe and recurring, I have gone to physical therapy 4 separate times now. I came in again recently and got an MRI to find out it was a "chronic torn labrum."
Okay, cool, let's fix it.... with therapy again...
Dr. Lemak is a nice enough guy, but come on... I've gone through therapy for years, and it keeps happening. Is there really no other treatment option?
It just feels like a waste of a $30 copay and $515 MRI for me to hear I need to go to physical therapy again, especially since I can do all of

Dr. Apell is top notch. Not only with his knowledge and operative skills. But bedside manner is out of this world. I adore this doctor! You'll not find any better anywhere in this world I promise you

Had reconstructive knee surgery. Had nothing but problems. Finally got seen because an intern referred me to be seen. Had new tests done. Showed more damage. Now my knee is completely torn. On crutches. They only returned a few calls. Never reached out for any assistance. My therapist would not listen. Only one that acted to have any concern was Jeff at the office. No matter how many times I called I never got any relief. Feel like they got the money and now they are done. Been off work so long that I was terminated from my job. Lost a great job and benefits and in worse shape I was when I first

Unbelievable!! My husband was seen by an NP August 2018 when he fell down a flight of stairs. She said it had 4 fractures, but they were in place; she was rude and unprofessional. Charged 40.00 twice in a week plus the cost of the brace. He’s been having pain in the wrist since, whenever he tries to use it. He just saw the orthopedic doctor yesterday which rexrayed showing another fracture in that same wrist that was undetected and healed incorrectly!!! He tried to trowell floors, which he does for a living, but had too much pain in that area that healed wrong to do the floors! Talk about incompetence

My girlfriend had chronic back issues. She went to Lemak and was put under the care of a PA who never followed-up nor returned calls for help and advice. Turns out that she was mid-diagnosed and subjected to physical therapy that did more harm than good. Lemak is running a volume shop for financial gain. There are many more good ethical Ortho options in Birmingham. Patients beware!!

I went in twice to have two different body parts checked. Both times the Dr. Was very professional and knowledgeable. But really gets me is that they sold me a thumb brace that you can purchase online for $24 and they charged $400. That is totally unacceptable. Talk about robbery. It soured me on the entire experience with the Dr. I will not go back again without knowing what all charges would be.
