Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly Recommend Dr. Lief!
I’ve only had great experiences with Dr. Lief. He always takes the time to talk with me and answer any questions. He performed my vasectomy about a year ago, and I’m happy to report I’ve had no side effects. His staff is also great—friendly, professional, and always helpful. Highly recommend!

focal cryo ablasion
i have been a patient of doctor Lief for 6 years. My elevated PSA eventually resulted in stage 1 prostate cancer. Dr Lief performed a focal cryo ablasion approximately 6 months ago. Men, this is an alternative to radiation therapy BUT with less chances of side effects. The procedure was done in his office, 0ne hour duration, painless because it's a freezing technique, and about 3 days rest at home. I recently had a 2nd MRI that showed my cancer was completely gone, replaced with scare tissue. I have no side effects. i feel great. Great diet and exercise is now my medicine. Thank you Dr Lief. 5 star experience.

Life Changing
Was experiencing BPH issues for a few years and wanted to stop medications that really weren't working for me. Dr Lief suggested the Rezum method and it literally changed my life. Stream is strong, I rarely get up in the middle of the night anymore, no more urgency to go, no need to carry pee bags anymore. If you experience any of the above I suggest you meet with Dr. Lief.

First time Meeting Dr. Lief.

My surgical experience was exactly as Dr. Lief told me it would be, making me feel at ease and worry free before and post-surgery. I felt no pain during the recovery period and afterwards was so delighted I was referred to Dr. Lief.

Bad billing practices – Aug 05, 2023

Who hurt the guy? Went it for a checkup and every single staff member was nice except for this doctor. He seemed cold, arrogant, and condescending just because I had a few questions about his varicocele surgery and another procedure that he does not perform. The 5-star ratings must be miracles. I dodged a bullet.

True Professional
I went to Dr. Lief when I discovered my PSA was 17 he immediately began testing me for prostate cancer which after a biopsy was confirmed. Due to his quick action a year later after radiation treatment and other therapies I am now cancer free. I highly recommend Dr. Lief. and his staff you will be in good hands.
