Dr. Leigh is my surgeon. Beyond that is one of the best, most thorough, most attentive doctors I have ever had. He is quiet and calm, makes you feel comfortable, and you trust him right away. He is definitely trust-worthy. His staff are happy and content with him, which says a lot. He is very well-respected by other doctors and his patients love him.

He tore my intestines open while removing my gallbladder. I spent 21 days in NGMC cut and open from Breast to pelvis and almost died. The problem turned out not to be my gallbladder at all. During all this he failed to find a large cancerous tumor in my intestions 5 surgeries later I am still not completely well.
