I have been seeing Dr. Leslie for over 15 years as I have RA. However, if you don't understand dry humor, you won't like him. Many people on here consider him "arrogant" or "cocky". That is absolutely incorrect. You just need to get to know him. Anyway, I personally go to a Dr. for their knowledge, not to socialize. Dr. Leslie has done 2 surgeries on me and have not had a problem since. He only recommends surgery as a last resort and isn't in a hurry to bill insurance for needless surgeries or tests.

I found him incredibly rude and arrogant with a condescending 'sense of humor'. He is definitely old hospital in his manner, and I have suspicion he's especially like this with women. Dismissive of my problem. Never went back

There's a comment here from someone who left Leslie's office in tears. I did as well. He was unbelievably rude to me and didn't want to answer a single question. I guess if you never need to ask for clarification he might be good. But I asked a couple simple questions. I wasn't challenging his authority (but if I had, would that have been so terrible?). Shouldn't you be able to ask questions about something as serious as surgery? He is a very very arrogant man.
