No visit at all because when I was on my way to my appointment at 3:30 pm I got a call from his clinic at around 2:30 telling me that Z.lekht can’t see me and is canceling the appointment. No wonder ratings are so LOW!

Very unprofessional. Had to wait three weeks to get an initial appointment. Then after he examined me and administered various tests he said to call him back in week for the results. When I called back I was told he would call me in three weeks and I made a "phone" appointment, which he never kept. I won't be going back to him again.

I was referred to Dr. Lekht for a second opinion about my illness. He had me get an ultrasound 3 weeks ago but I have not heard anything from him. He is seldom in the office and his assistant isn't answering the phone. Not happy.

He doesn’t care about the patient. Saw him twice and he is always in a rush. Both times he rushed the visit and spend only 7-10 minutes talking to me. Does not listen to patient and wants to play the wait and see game. He is careless in my opinion.

this dr. is one of the worst dr's I have ever met. He does not have any bedside manner at all, does not care about what you are experiencing and gets annoyed if you call and leave several messages. He does not liked to be asked questions especially by family members. Avoid this Dr. at all costs!
