Dr. Leff is an excellent and caring provider. I could write pages upon pages of compliments, but will summarize by honestly saying “I would not hesitate recommending this surgeon to family and friends”.

My grandpa was actually fighting a bad infection with a cyst in his neck for a YEAR with other doctors in our area not saying that they wasnt doing there job but the treatments wasn't working! The cyst ended up busting so we took him to the ER @ Riverside For 24 hour observation thats when we met Dr. Leff & his team. He was explain all the right treatments that should work in order to get this all cleared up...& it worked finally after a year of dealing with this it was all over! Now, when I found out I had to have surgery recently I made sure that Dr. Leff's office was the first one on the referral list! Thank you for being the best at what you do!

He gives all he has to his patients and knows what he is doing. He stops in every patients room 2 or 3 times a day frequently. He cares and shows it. He makes you feel good even when you don't. What a doc!
