Although my experience with Dr Leitman was a positive one , not so good with the PA who actually administered the steroid without asking for my permission to do so. I’ve had several steroid injections for my torn rotator cuff pain without the side effects I am continuing to have. The pain I’m experiencing is a 10 with most movement. Worse than any pain thus far. I will allow a period of rest & hope the pain lessens & then reassess for further treatment.
Dr. Leitman was excellent. Highly recommend him. The staff was great as well!
He is a wonderful doctor
Ellliot and staff are great listeners, have a great bedside manner. Elliot is a true professional. He confident and caring. Today is day one after Arthroscopic Meniscus surgery and their follow up has been great. Looking forward to pt healing and getting back on the pickleball court!
Dr Leitman shoots from the hip. He is Passionate but direct. He listens, evaluates and makes the decision from the big picture. Thank you for taking such good care of me. Thank you Arthur 😊
Very friendly and wants to make sure that he is making sure that my right should is not painful
