Dr. Leitman is a true professional!!
Greater visit. & helpful
Right is correct Dorzo is an eye drop.i apprecrate the info you shared.
Was on time and gave me option for what I needed
I’m a person who really doesn’t like doctors but I really found a home with first state.. Everyone is so nice to me and the doctor is extremely confident and wonderful.
Dr Leitman is patient, thorough, and approachable. His experience and knowledge are second to none. He took his time with me, and explained all aspects of my shoulder injury, along with all available treatment options. Over the years, I have been to several other orthopedic surgeons in the Wilmington area, and I would recommend Dr. Leitman above all others!
Polite and professional
I guess if you don’t need surgery , it’s not the place to go
Great doctor!
This was my 4th surgery with Dr. Leitman. Once again I’m more than grateful for his outstanding skills and expertise. I highly recommend that anyone with orthopedic issues see Dr. Leitman.
