Dr. Merit Lemke MD 9301 Connecticut Drive Womens Health Center, Crown Point, IN 46307

"Warning - this doctor is not good if you have any trauma or mental health issues. I was so excited to see her based on the reviews she has and I felt really let down. I wasn’t greeted by anyone and just brought to a room. She just came in and sat down and asked me why I was there. She didn’t even seem to listen and barely looked at me. Her exam was incredibly rough and caused me a lot of stress. I wasn’t offered any options for the medical issue I was dealing with and she essentially just told me I had to fix it or risk getting cancer. Please save your peace and seek other options."

"Dr. Lemcke is a wonderful doctor! She is extremely knowledgeable and conscientious with her patients. She does not have a narrow scope of treatment like other OB/GYNs. She is an honest straight shooter that treats people with compassion. Her nurse, Arianne, is extremely helpful, kind, and very professional. I encourage people to go Dr. Lemcke if they want a great experience with people who actually care. Thanks for everything! Michelle M"

"I’m really anxious about sharing this review, but I feel like I need to. I needed to find a new OBGYN and scheduled with this doctor. I need to add that I do have diagnosed anxiety and I was very nervous and shaky. I was brought back by a nurse that barely spoke to me. The doctor came in and asked me what I needed to talk about, which I told her and she began to explain things. She told me I only had two options and that’s it. She was not friendly and seemed to have no kindness or emotion at all. I was extremely uncomfortable and was sitting there naked with a gown on. She began to do my exam and she seemed a little rough and was hurting me some when she was grabbing me. I was shaking and told her that I was very nervous and she brushed it off and continued. When she did my Pap smear she brought in the first nurse and didn’t even ask me first if that was okay. I understand it happens, but I’ve always been asked beforehand if I was okay with that. She had the door wide open to get the nurse while I was laying with the gown open. When she started, it seemed to take longer than I was used to and it was hurting me. She gave me a pelvic exam after and that was painful. I was pulling away a little because it hurt. Then she was done and told me I could get dressed. I did and the nurse opened the door, handed me a paper, and seemed to wait for me to leave. I cried in my car after this appointment. This situation has made me fearful of seeing another doctor and I need to due to my medical circumstances. I did not feel welcome to being there and it was one of the most uncomfortable situations I’ve ever experienced. I should have said something but I’m very non confrontational and afraid to speak up sometimes."

"I seen Doctor Lemke a few months ago and my experience was amazing !!!! I am personally the kind of person that will research and read reviews first. I seen a lot of positive reviews about Doc Lemke. She has excellent bedside manners, she listens to you and she takes her time with you. She definitely makes you feel comfortable. She’s knowledgeable about the female body and gave me some good advice!!!!"
