Dr. Martin very attentive as I shared my medical history. She reviewed the lab work ordered my ophthalmologist and provided me a differential list with possible courses of treatment. I will definitely recommend Dr. Martin and her staff to my family and friends.
The medical care given by the LMC Rheumatology Team showed genuine consideration of my medical history, level of current pain, participation in planning, immediate radiology examination and referrals for medication and therapy was excellent.
I was diagnosed at 19 through the military with my medical condition. I am now 43, I received more information and genuine concern for my condition in that 30-45 minutes visit than I have received my in my entire life. I cried with relief because I felt heard and seen. A weight felt lifted and I was able to breathe a little easier. Dr. Martin is an angel. I don't actually have to live in pain and I now have a physician who understands and want to actual provide the answers I did t know I needed.
The entire team was nice, professional and genuine. Dr Talip was very genuine about what he was suppose to treat and was thoroughly in asking allot of questions concerning my symptoms. He decided to look at my Hematology tests [...], also my Rheumatologist test with [...] and the blood test at Lexington. Then decided to take a look then pinpoint what he's treating. That's being concerned. His energy was kind and genuine. A very good doctor, the hour and a half was worth the drive, praise the Lord
PA Leah always provides the best care of listening to my needs as she addresses each with details and professionalism. I look forward to my visit because I know that she will be detailed and patient with me. I always leave the office satisfied with my care from her and the staff.
Leah Byrd is fantastic! She Always takes her time and listens to what you have to say. I never feel rushed and Leah is very thorough. I am very grateful having her as my Rheumatologist.
I was thrilled with this practice! The office staff along with the doctor Cayla exceeded my expectations!!! Thank you LMC Rheumatology Cayla is the best?
The visit was one I thought about postponing bc I felt so bad but, Dr Lytle and his nurse, lab ladies and other staff were so caring and concerned over me. I thank my God for them. I would recommend them highly!!!
Dr. Lytle is an outstanding doctor. He listens intently and answers any questions you may have. He doesn't make you feel rushed or that your concerns aren't as important as you may think they are.
Provider spent maybe 3 minutes with me. He dismissed all of my issues and did absolutely nothing but rerun the bloodwork and tell me something was wrong but he didn't know what.
Dr. Whitney Martin is an asset to Lexington Rheumatology,and her patients. She is very articulate and thorough, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her.
I was treated like royalty. Excellent DOctor professional knowledgeable and so caring. All personnel from the nurses to the receptionist were so accommodating. I could not be on better hands. The only thing I regret that I was nor referred to Dr. Cayla Fleshman earlier, I am sure I would have been in a much better place. But now I have something to look forward. I have hope and excellent care. Mu future is looking brighter
Dr Martin is a wonderful physician and goes out of her way to make sure she has covered all of the bases and that you have an understanding of your options. She is very caring and a great asset to Lexington Rheumatology. She makes it a point to answer your online messages in a very timely manner and keeps you abreast of your test results.
This was the first time I have ever felt dismissed by Dr Talip - maybe he was having a bad day but my appointment felt rushed and I did not feel that my current concerns were properly addressed.
Cayla was so kind and patient with me. She answered all my questions and made me feel seen, heard and felt respected even if I was asking questions that felt dumb.
Dr Martin has been wonderful in helping me care for my mother. I attribute her willingness to trying different medications to the fact that my mother’s quality of life continues to improve.
Everyone in this office and Dr Lytle are absolutely amazing. I dread doctor's appointments, but I don't dread coming to see Dr Lytle. He is a superb doctor and person.
I was pleasantly surprised at the wealth of information he knew about my medical history before coming in to see me, this was my first time seeing Austin the PA. He was very attentive and knowledgeable. It is always helpful to not have to explain your history to someone new.
Thank you all for the care and understanding provided during my visit. Some people don’t realize how limited our knowledge maybe of the condition and treatment maybe. It’s a lot of time very new experience.
The whole team at Lexington rheumatology is above average. I love Dr. Martin. She is phenomenal. Always takes the time discuss concerns, and most importantly, she listens to me.
Dr. Fleshman is a Rock Star sat down and discussed at length everything. Never had a Medical professional make me feel like more than a patient but a priority.
Dr Austin is extremely caring and wonderful. He listens and shows great concern for his patients. We need more Doctors like him. The staff was absolutely wonderful as well. Well done team
Very knowledgeable and professional; as many Southerners are more acquainted with "levels of bedside manner'" this Healthcare professional was brilliant in manner.
Dr. Fleshman is great! I appreciate her genuine care and consideration, taking time to answer my questions, fully explaining treatment options, and being willing to explore my health struggles more to find the source.
I seen a new Dr today (Dr.Astiin) I wasn?t sure what I was about to get as a new doctor but I tell you I FEEL IN LOVE WITH DR. Austin, he?s great !!
Thank you.
