Dr. David C. Leech is the BEST Dr. we have ever had. He is so personable and genuinely cares about all of his patients. I could not say enough positive things about Dr. Leech. His staff is great too. Julie is always nice and helpful and Christine is a jewel. The entire office is fantastic!!!

called in morning, had been not feeling well through the weekend and they were very accommodating with getting me in same day. I am sure he gave up his lunch hour to see me. Best Dr and staff ever in albuquerque area. Takes time with your concerns and is very good at figuring out what you have. Won't be disappointed with your visit.

I saw Dr. Leech for help with a prescription opiate dependence problem. He helped me with medication and a strategy to quit opiates altogether. I found him to be knowledgable and compassionate.

One of the reasons you'd wait for a table at a dining establishment is because the food and service make it worth the wait. If I have to wait at Dr. Leech's office it's because I know he spending needed time with other patients and he soon will be spending needed time with me. I've had doctors that stay on schedule and spend a grand total of 4 minutes with me- 1 minute listening and 3 talking. Dr. Leech is an excellent physician and a very good communicator (both listening and explaining). I've been a patient for over 5 years and would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Leech has been my PCP for close to two years now. He has consistently been the best medical professional I've ever met in both clinical accuracy and in followups. He's been treating me for several chronic conditions, each of which require monthly visits. Since I travel a great deal for work, Dr. Leech and his staff have been MORE than accommodating due to my constantly changing schedule.Due to my recommendations and praise (I am very critical of medical professionals), most of my immediate family are now patients of Dr. Leech and each of them sing his praises as I do.Unfortunately, lately it seems that he has had more patients than time and I sure hope he hires additional medical staff (Nurse Practitioners come to mind) to compensate. I would hate for his practice to suffer due to too much success.

Dr. Leech is a rare individual who takes the time to listen. He is wise, sincere, thorough and competent. Wish I could have taken him with me on my move out of NM. I really miss his care.
