Reviews
Dr Leiter was so welcoming and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
As always, Dr. Leiter showed a personal interest in her patient and was very solicitous about any discomfort the treatment might be causing.
I waited an hour and 20 minutes before I was brought into an exam room and additional 20 minutes in there. I come from CT and fortunately had nothing else planned or this would have been extremely problematic. I have been a patient of Dr. Leiter’s for 30+ years and wouldn’t go anywhere else, but this was very exasperating.
Fantastic and dependable as always.
Taken on time. Everyone was very cordial and helpful. Dr Leiter is very caring and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her.
Everyone was very professional. Dr Leiter took time to discuss my past history and did not rush through exam or the pre exam interview. Very personable. while
So glad to have found Dr. Leiter - my visit was simple - personable - informative! I am 50 years old and going through menopause and she helped immensely in what I should do in regards to symptoms and HRT. I would recommend Dr. Leiter anytime!
