A physician who listens, and directly lends his knowledge and expertise. He rightly guides, not directs, the patient in making informed decisions regarding his/her own personal medical path.

He has a very bad bedside manner. If you are overweight he believes it is all your fault and doesn't want to discuss any of the reasons you came to him. Just your weight. However when I had Blue Cross insurance he had nothing to say about my weight. Just a few months later when I lost my insurance and was on Medicaid.

MTG Dr lafluer the first time I have to say I respect the direct eye contact and the very informative information he gave me very direct to the point I feel very comfortable and having him as my surgeon because without the surgery I would be paralyzed and I respect him for treating me the way you did I'm very satisfied

Worst medical experience I have ever had. His PA., Marc Pitts is disgustingly rude and hateful.

Do not bother going if you are having multiple spine problems. Several times he suggested my problems were made up because "your x-rays" look exactly the same as they did 2 years ago. He stated that my pain should really go away. He ordered a epidural steroid injection and his exact - I repeat exact- words were " if this doesn't help then don't come back to see me "!!! So unprofessional!!

Dr. LeFleur and Marc Pitre are absolutely wonderful... They are both very professional and caring.. Dr. Lefleur has done surgery on me 2 times - both were successful and relieved me of my health issues. I have and will continue referring my family and friends to them. Having had a horrible experience with a doctor in the past, it was very comforting to find Dr. Lefleur and Marc and have them treat me for serious issues. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my scheduled appointments. The staff is already friendly and eager to answer any questions. Dr. Lefleur and Marc never made me feel like they were rushing to end my appointment - they spent time answering all my questions - sometimes before I even asked them. If you're in need of an orthopedic doctor - I highly recommend Dr. Lefleur. and Marc
