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.
Very knowledgeable, easy to talk to AND HE LISTENS!!!
Professional Direct and kind
Very displeased with this doctor. First time seeing him. Didn't introduce himself, didn't shake hands, no nice to see you. Very infriendly, did manage one smile. Asked me why I was there and for what part of body, well I wasted time filling out the paperwork that clearly stated what part of body, he should have known before he walked in there. It ended with not much accomplished other than give it time and come back if needed. Ill be going back but certainly not to him. Been a patient there since 2022, doctor retired, but I wanted to stay with that practice which I will, but not with that orthopedic. Already have new doctor. Must reiterate how wonder the staff was. Hate to be a downer, but people need yo know.
Very short visit, questions were not answered to my liking. Maybe he was behind on his schedule, but I paid for the visit. I had a nurse's aide with me she had the same opinion as me.
I’m 74 and gentle is my favorite word when it comes to medical care. Dr Leitman found my knee issue & was able to deal with it immediately in the office with care, professionalism and a gentle touch with the needles.
Knowledgeable with good bedside manner
Easy to talk to and on time
