I have been seeing Dr. Leifer for 25+ years. He is easy to talk to and concerned about my overall well-being. He is very thorough and patient and always follows up after a visit, and he does return telephone calls. I highly recommend him to all. The office staff is helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. Routine appointments might take some time because they are quite busy, but that has never been a problem.

Dr. Leifer has been my doctor for many years. He is very smart, thorough, and has a warm and comfortable bedside manner. He knows me well as his patient and I appreciate having him as my internist. I would recommend anyone to see him.

The office staff is very hard to deal with and unfriendly. They seem to think you are bothering them when you have questions. This purely about the front end staff.

Very busy office. Rarely can speak with administrative asistant on first try. Must leave call back number to make an appointment. Can't see doctor if you are ill such as cold. Assistant pushes you off to nurse practictioner. Dr. Leifer is a good doctor but alot of drawbacks with his office.
