Dr. Sleesman has a great ‘bedside manner’ and always listens to my concerns. I have been going to him for 30+ years and trust him completely. I so appreciate the fact that he personally calls me in the evening with any test results so I can ask questions if needed.

Dr. Sleesman has been my primary care doctor since the early 1980’s. He has always been very attentive to my concerns and my well-being and has helped me through my own health needs as well as my mother after we moved her to be closer to my husband and I. We knew his parents from our childhood town and his siblings, which also helps. I would recommend him to anyone needing a doctor. I have also seen Dr. Davakis, Dr. Melaragno, and Dr. Failor in that office, and would recommend them as well.

I have been a patient on Doctor Sleesman’s for years. He is quite simply the best Doctor I have ever had. He is responsive and takes the time to listen and understand before he make any decision. In fact,7 years ago he sent me for follow up tests after a physical that discovered I had cancer which was caught early and treated.
