This was my first appointment. Surprisingly, it was informative and productive, with the doctor paying close attention to my health records, asking me to provide relevant descriptions and depictions of ailments, stating what mighShow moret be relevant or related, checking me out on a table, providing some indications of possibilities of causes, scheduling needed future exams, and providing descriptive brochures of next exams along with their nature, purpose, and preparations. In addition, he was seemingly very knowledgeable, respectful, polite, inquiring, informative, and open ear. I particularly enjoyed his response to comments on diagnoses some doctors had given me more than 3 decades ago, to which he said they might have been some of his professors and that the study of medicine had advanced a long way since. Overall, he easily instilled the kind of confidence a patient wants to experience with a doctor in an initial visit.
Finding a new doctor is always stressful, especially after having five gastroenterologists in the past 10 years due to changing insurance. Thankfully, I hit the jackpot with Dr. Seecomar and his office! He is professional, kind, Show moreand incredibly knowledgeable. Dr. Seecomar has explained aspects of my Ulcerative Colitis that no one else ever has, and his advice on diet and management has been invaluable. He takes the time to truly listen and provide thoughtful care—a rarity these days. I’m beyond thrilled to have found him and highly recommend his compassionate and thorough approach to anyone in need of a great gastroenterologist!
About Us
Board-certified gastroenterologist Leslie F. Seecoomar, MD, PC, takes a holistic and personalized approach to care at his practice on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City.
With more than 25 years of gastroenterology experience, Dr. Seecoomar knows how important it is to connect with his patients. He always takes the time needed to get to know them. Once trust is established, patients feel comfortable openly discussing their symptoms and health concerns. Certain digestive symptoms can be embarrassing to talk about; Dr. Seecoomar understands that and finds a way to break the ice and makes patients very comfortable discussing “taboo” subject matters related to normal bodily functions.
Dr. Seecoomar specializes in gastroenterology and hepatology and emphasizes noninvasive treatments to help his patients. Some of the conditions he focuses on include colon cancer and polyp screening and prevention. GERD/acid reflux/heartburn; ulcers; H. Pylori gastritis, IBD (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease). IBS: constipation, diarrhea; abdominal pain, bloating; liver test abnormalities; fatty liver, gallbladder disorders. Dr. Seecoomar also offers diet, nutrition, and weight management counseling.
Dr. Seecoomar takes a comprehensive approach to evaluating his patients with an awareness of the mind-body connection. A thorough history and physical exam always precede treatment or additional testing. When appropriate, blood and stool tests are ordered. More advanced diagnostic tools such as upper GI endoscopy, colonoscopy, and various scans, such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI may be recommended as needed to get to the bottom of a particular problem or for a routine screening when appropriate. Often, invasive tests can be avoided.
