Very personable and knowledgeable. I think I will get the help I need.
Always listens and provides a caring experience.
I went to Dr. Leitman as a second opinion after two visits to the Rothman Institute. I found Dr. Leitman to be both professional and kind. He gave me a better understanding of the issues with my knees and provided medical assistance is needed. I feel lucky to have found Dr. Leitman and feel confident that he is providing me with the best care possible. I wish I had come here first. First State Orthopaedics is lucky to have a doctor of this competence as am I.
Quick and efficient!
Honest and respectful health care provider
Very knowledgeable and very personable.
Dr Leitman was personable, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and able to give a clear diagnosis and path forward for my shoulder pain caused by bicep tendinitis.
He is the best. Thank you Dr.

He's the only knee doctor that listens to me. He's the best
