If I could give zero stars I would. I went to see this doctor and he’s a racist. He had me wait 27 minutes because he was with a white patient,. When he finally came to see me, he spent five minutes with me for an annual physical. I expressed to him that I had pain in my left heel of my foot, and he did nor bothered to check it, or refer me to a specialist. He just stated that it’s probably arthritis. Six months later I went to a specialist, because I couldn’t walk and the heel of my foot was swollen. The specialist checked my foot and took x-rays . I did not have arthritis in my foot. I’m going to report him to the medical board , because it could have been something more serious with my health. If he does not want to treat other patient besides white ones, perhaps he should practice in errata where there aren’t any minorities.

I am so very happy to have Dr Leb as my doctor. I highly recommend him. My mother also goes to him and she has a terrible fear of doctors. He treats her with so much kindness and a sense of humor that she calms down and is able to talk to him. That alone makes me want to give him a hundred stars!

I like Dr. Leb he is very professional and took his time explaining everthing to me and my mom. the only thing was that we have to wait a long time, but I guess it was because the holiday were a week before. overall I am very happy with his services.
