Ronald Arthur Lehman, MD

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lehman and he is the nicest professional doctor I ever met. Dr. Lehman did ACDF C5- C7 on me 10 months ago and I feel 100%. His skill and his staff were fantastic.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Dr Lehman and his staff for their support and professionalism during this difficult time. Dr. Lehman performed scoliosis surgery and 7 level spine surgery in May 2025. After years of being in excruciating pain and having unsuccessful surgery with another surgeon, plus a misdiagnosis, just 2 weeks after surgery I was able to lift my left leg swiftly and easily with no pain. I have not been able to lift this leg in 4 years. I am excited and looking forward to more progress as I continue healing. 6weeks later and I am doing very well. Christine Buxton, Christina Navarro, thank you both so much for your patience with my many questions. You answered each one promptly and efficiently, not for a moment making me feel like I was a nuisance. I highly recommend Dr. Lehman, his staff and the Och Spine Center for anyone who has spine issues. They are in a class by themselves and are the best of the best!

Dr Lehman is the best of the best! He instilled total confidence in me and my family ahead of my lumbar decompression and the operation went beautifully. I was walking that same day and recovery was a breeze! I appreciated that he’s a straight shooter and I felt like he was honest and direct when advising me whether or not to get the operation. His support team and nurses were all immensely lovely too. They were kind and made themselves accessible for questions or concerns.

Dr. Lehman and his team are absolutely the best! I had a lumbar discectomy, and before surgery, I could barely walk. Now, I’m completely pain-free and feel like I have my life back. Dr. Lehman and his team made me feel supported every step of the way, answering all my questions and ensuring I was comfortable throughout the whole process. I couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise, care, and compassion.

I am one year post op for my spinal fusion and I have to say that Dr. Lehman is amazing. After experiencing an extreme decline in my quality of life I came to NYP/Columbia Doctors and I was referred to Dr. Lehman. I had tried many different diets and treatments to no avail and not only did Dr. Lehman take my care seriously but he took my concerns seriously. We discussed my overall health and quality of life, talked about options and risks and made a decision to move forward with surgery. It was a lengthy and complicated surgery that Dr. Lehman and his team successfully completed. The road to recovery has also been pretty smooth sailing. I don't believe I would've had a better outcome or experience if I went anywhere else. I'm extremely grateful to Dr. Lehman for making this bumpy journey that much smoother and for helping me get my life back. Not only do I feel more confident. I recommend Dr. Lehman 10 out of 10
