Florence “Flo” graduated with her BSN in 2012 from Tennessee Wesleyan University. She worked in high-risk labor and delivery as an RN in Knoxville for 4 years before receiving her MSN-FNP from Lincoln Memorial University in 2016. She continued to work as an RN in labor and delivery and as an FNP in private practice while pursuing a job in women’s health, her true area of passion.

She moved to Fort Myers, FL in 2019 for a women’s health NP job and spent four years working there and exploring the beautiful coast of southwest Florida. She moved to Hickory in 2023 to join A Woman’s View and is thrilled to be back closer to family and her beloved Smoky Mountains.

Flo recognizes the vulnerability and anxiety that patients feel when coming for a visit with their GYN provider and strives to make it a comfortable and calm experience. She understands every person is different in body and mind and her goal is to encompass a plan of care most suiting to the individual while ensuring they feel understood and included. She is proud of her history and knowledge providing trauma informed care.

Flo lives in Hickory with her husband, who was a paramedic/firefighter for 12 years and is now a wonderful stay at home dad to their three young children. When not busy with the kid’s school activities and extracurriculars, the family enjoys hiking, camping, boating and everything outdoors.

Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for UWH of The Carolinas:

Annual Well Woman Exam

The doctor was willing to spend time talking and helpful in some new health challenges I have that will be addressed by another specialist in a couple of weeks.

Miscarriage Care

Dr. Lechner approaches all of my visits with care, sensitivity- makes sure I know what to expect and processes afterwards so I always understand my options and where I’m at whether it’s pregnancy related or just wellness visits.

IUD Insertion / Removal

She did a phenomenal job explaining everything and with the whole procedure. I'd give her 5 stars if I didn't have to wait so long.

Elizabeth was very nice and thorough. I would have given my review 5 stars, except the nursing staff seemed rushed, not organized, and generally annoyed with their jobs. This is not the usual experience I have during my annual appointments.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Great doctor. Very knowledgeable. I know that I always get great information/advice about my health.

STI Testing / Treatment

I always have a great experience with the office staff and especially with Joanne Beecher-Van Horn, she is literally the best. However, I wish someone would have called me to let me know my copay was going to be $245. I recently got laid off and had to scrabble to find short term insurance coverage which I know is not the greatest coverage but I had no idea my visit was going to be SO expensive. I unfortunately can't afford that right now and I appreciate that the office accepts payment plans but it was definitely a shock to hear that amount when I checked in. That would have been a lot for me even when I had a job let alone now that I am unemployed.

IUD Insertion / Removal

Pleasant doctor and staff staff who do their utmost to make the experience pain-free.
