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.

Excellent care!
Dr Seecoomar is attentive to my concerns; explains my test results clearly, gives me clear info to maintain and/or improve lab rest results, and encourages healthy habits. With his guidance I changed my diet which resulted in a radically improved outcome.
Excellent dr. I recommend him to all my friends and family

Follow up appointment.
Professional, thorough and thoughtful - thank you!
Terrific session with Dr. Seecoomar who is very knowledgeable and highly professional. I highly recommend Dr. Seecoomar as a GI specialist and was very impressed with his excellent advice and attention to my health challenges. Extraordinary care and professional advice which I appreciate very much.
If I could rate him 6 stars, I would. Dr Seecomar is an excellent Doctor. He is thorough, kind, and takes time with every patient!!! I’ve been going to him for many years…and will continue to do so.
Excellent Dr. I had colonoscopies at least 4x & was told to drink the huge amount of liquid prep. the night before the procedure. Well it was always agony so I put off going again. Dr. Seecoomar explained how to start 3 days ahead eating soft food & then fasting on liquid diet & drinking the prep solution 2 glasses in the morning 1 hour after liquid breakfast, then liquid soup broth for lunch, & 2 hrs. later 2 more glasses of solution & repeat fot dinner. This way prevents that horrible experience I had in the past. So easy to do, yet no other Dr. informed me of this manner of preparation, as they were all in a hurry. This Dr. takes his time & explains things thoroughly. Great personality too.
The front desk is awesome, very professional, kind and polite, Dr seecoomar is the best he really shows a lot of concern, l love the fact that he not only explains everything with your diet, the intestinal organs as well as helping you to appreciate the exam . I don't want to overwhelm him but, I'm telling and I've told everyone about him already!! Thank you and may you continue to have a wonderful week as well as weekend!
The nicest Doctor n staff. No waiting time. Took time to listen and explain everything. Addressed all my needs n concern. My wife and I have been going to him for years. Always friendly and helpful. Great full to have a Dr. like him.
Beautiful
