"I like Dr Lecher, but only having her in the Dubuque office 1 1/2 days a week is making me think about changing providers. You show her primary location as Dubuque on the website -so why isn't she in Dubuque more? My appointment was on 7/31/2026 and when I made my yearly appointment for next year, I can't get in to see her until DECEMBER 2027. That is ridiculous to me."
