"My First impression of Dr. Leitman, was that he was a professional with a geniune concern for his patients and helping them to take back their lifes, I didnot get the impression that it was about the money.
During our meeting, I was basically interviewing him, unbeknown to him. I knew he would be my surgeon after our 1 hour visit in which he answered my prepared questions without blowing me off.
I emailed him at least once a week with questions in the 3 months prior to my surgery. He answered each and every email to my likings. He was always available.
On surgery day, he spent time with me for any final questions to calm any fears and spoke to my family about their questions. He made absolutely sure I was comfortable in the O.R. inquiring on what type of music I would prefer, (although I would be out like a light). He assured me as I continually stated I must have a petite scar and wanted my procedure to be the best one he'd ever done and to make sure nothing was left inside of me. (He didnot take offense to anything I said, was very accommodating). Dr Leitman, has impressive surgical skills, he is also a breast cancer doctor. Not only are his surgical skills impressive, he has a bedside manner, that's second to none (rarely do you find that these days.) After surgery, He found my family explained how I was feeling and what to expect, and escorted them to see me in recovery. While in the hospital Dr. Leitman made it his business out of his busy OR schedule to visit me each and every day as well as his other patients on the floor. I was honored, as most Drs send their understudy's or resident drs to check up on you, and they were there everyday as well.
Thank you Dr. Leitman of Lenox Hill Hospital, NYC for the wonderful experience. You will be my Doctor for Lif"
