Very knowledgeable and straight to the point. I appreciate that very much!
Everything went great. Make an appointment was easy. And schedule me right next day. Office is clean and stuff is welcoming. Dr.Leitman was very friendly and nice. Explain all my concern. I'm very grateful. Thank you.
Very thorough and knowledgeable
Love his professionalism.
He care, listens, and is kind. Thank you Dr. Leitman!
Dr Leitman was excellent. But when it was recommended that I go to a nearby location for my pre-op EKG. Arriving there, I was told no EKG would be done until his FSO office faxed a cardiac clearance to them. When I phoned FSO to request that fax be done, 4 different staff kept forwarding me to other staff to do it. The final staff member who I spoke with told me “Never mind. Don’t try that place after all. Go to one of the hospitals for a no-appointment EKG”. Quite exasperating. But I believe Dr Leitman will perform my surgery in fine fashion…I will update here”
Nice personable Doc who really knows his stuff
Down to earth
Dr. Leitmann has performed numerous surgeries on me and, now, he has to perform surgery on my child. I didn’t hesitate to bring him to First State Orthopedics because I have had incredible success and I know my child will too!
Very thorough explanation of all the problems
