Her smiles and interactions with my son made him feel at ease. Dr Leigh took time to explain details to us and routine care for our concerns. All recommendations and highly appreciated. We will want to see her again

Wow I've met doctors with a bad "bedside manner" and she ranks right up there with the few worst. I'm sure her technical skill is tops for surgery but it was really (really) hard to sort the actual helpful information from all the crud she spouted and all the things she didn't say but I had to figure out on my own, and all the other things she said that directly contradicted each other. And wow talk about lack of compassion and any understanding of adolescents. Awful experience for my kid and me.
