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
Talks about his travels too much. Nice guy
I waited for 45 minutes & we spoke for less than 5 minutes. I felt rushed & felt as though my concerns were not being heard.
Very short and quick with me on my first encounter with him. Since surgery definitely isn't required, he seemed dismissive and didn't offer much for ways to resolve my intermittent pain. Offered scripts because he knew that's what I wanted, not because he wanted to continue to treat me
Very professional, easy to talk to. The fact that he took the time without rushing out of the room to attend another patient was awesome. Haven't seen that in some time. He addressed all of my concerns. So happy to have chosen him for my issue.
Very good
Great Physian, surgeon. Cares about your health. Always ask if you have any questions. An asset to the medical field.
He has good follow through and listens to my concerns and makes a plan to correct issues.
