He's the only knee doctor that listens to me. He's the best
Polite and knowledgeable doctor who answers my questions accurately. Very glad x-Ray is on the premises.
Started out a little shaky, but ended up with a very great experience. I appreciate everyone in all their efforts that they did for me that day special doctor and nurse think her name was Lisa.
Dr. Leitman listened to my concerns and was open and honest about what could be done. He didn't make false claims. I like his straightforward approach.
Dr. Leitman is so kind and professional. He will listening to his patient and taking care.
Listens attentively & quickly gets to the root of the problem. Great doc, effective, efficient, & friendly staff. Got in quickly both in terms of booking appointment & wait time in the office. My knees love him!
