I have MS and Diabetes and have been a patient of Dr. Leighton for nearly 20 years. I love his style and his approach to resolving problems with a minimum of drugs. I don't think of him as 'my doctor' he's more my friend.

No waiting, nice staff. Never saw a doctor give a patient the time he spend with me.

He listened to me when other doctors ignored me. I had all the classic thyroid symptoms, but other docs just wanted to put me on Prozac, saying it was all in my head. He treated me for Wilson's thyroid syndrome, and also tested me for food allergies. He had follow up times that I could call in to adjust my T3 dosage. I feel so much better, after years of going to other docs.

I don't really understand. He was a compassionate doctor at one time. Something has happened and I have found a much better pain management doctor. Only after being thrown into the street for reasons that I truly cannot explain. I would never trust him with a serious medical problem because either he is too busy to actually listen or just doesn't care.
