very rude and unprofessional staff, wait time is over 4 hours. They take bribes to let people ahead of their turn. As for the doctor himself , I don't even think that he knows what he is doing!!! you have to pay money for everything even if you have insurance!!!

Got to my first consult appointment a half hour early to complete paperwork. Waited over 3 hours with still 3 patients ahead of me. I don't care how intelligent this doctor is...he needs to polish up his time management skills. I cancelled my appt after the 3rd hour and went home.

A very long wait but well worth it for Dr Paul He genuinely cares about his patients He stays up on new medical treatments and results. He's very thorough. Staff is excellent I'm sure they hear a lot of patients complaining about the wait but as I say he is worth the wait.

Spent an hour and 45 minutes waiting to see the doctor. The staff was rude and less forthcoming to my questions. After talking with patients, any wait less than 2 hours was considered quick. Was told I needed to see the doctor every time I needed refills (these were maintenance medications).

Would not take my dog to this doctor. The medical assistant is extremely rude. You wait forever for results and the doctor is never on time. Do not waste you time or copay on this doctor. They suck!!

Like other people have said, this doctor is like a walking encyclopedia. Spends time with you, never making you feel rushed. He practices evidence based medicine and always knows about the newest and latest.

I have found my visits to Dr. Leva's office to be pleasant. Staff is friendly, business like and professional. Dr. Leva takes time to listen and offers good advice. He seems very focused. I don't see doctors much thankfully but Dr. Paul has been a good find for me.
