Dr. Michael Lief, MD

Listens, approachable, helpful, one of the nicest Dr's I have used

Dr. Lief is great, been with him for several years. Knows his stuff, takes the time to listen to your issues and sets you on the right path for healing (referrals, prescriptions, follow-ups, etc.). Proactively makes sure you are prepared for upcoming things like flu season or shot boosters. Office responds quickly to portal messages and refill requests.

Dr Lief has been my PCP for the past few years. When my old PCP retired and my surgeon needed me to see someone he referred me to Dr. Lief. Then when my wife needed a PCP I recommended him to her. He takes care of the both of us and is just amazing. His office staff is not always they best but it's not enough of a concern to not go to him

I recently had my first visit and full physical with Dr. Lief and his team. They were very efficient and accommodating and answered all of my questions.

When my PCP re-located, he recommended Dr. Lief. I saw him twice. Both times I found him abrasive, sometimes even sarcastic. The first time was what he called a "meet-and-greet." He answered questions; it was brief and perfunctory. The second time was my annual physical exam, which was cursory and rushed. He doesn't take phone calls or emails; everything is on the Patient Portal. Nothing ever appeared after a month, despite my urging. Finally I chose to switch physicians and requested that he fax my file. Several months have elapsed, yet he hasn't. I found him lazy in every possible way.

Not rushed, flexible in talking through health care options, knowledgeable.

Seems more interested in money than health

I've been seeing Dr. Lief for the past 7 years. He is so kind and understanding. Easy to get appts with him.

Would not recommend. He was late, then demeaning, then almost totally unable to answer my questions or just explain my situation and contradicted himself verbally and by his actions. From the other numerous and contradictory reviews it seems he's just erratic so not dependable.

Dr Lief is a very personable, highly professional and deeply caring physician. I have complete trust in him and would recommend him without reservation.

Dr. Lief has been my primary physician for over six years and I would absolutely recommend him to family and friends. Over the years I've come to him with a variety of ailments that he and his team have dealt with gracefully and courteously. When I had to have a surgery overseas in the UK he was remarkably flexible and helpful with British National Health Service and ensured that all of my records and tests were communicated properly.

I saw Dr. Lief recently for STD screening and starting PrEP. The waiting area is pleasant and quiet. Dr. Lief was patient and answered all of my questions. The woman who drew my labs was great. Dr. Lief then called me personally with my results. As well, unfortunately because one result was positive he took the time to review both the treatment and any other questions I had given I was a little upset to put it mildly. But Dr. Lief was very reassuring - everything you want in a doctor.

Dr. Lief has been excellent ever since I chose him as my primary care physician more than 5 years ago. He is very friendly when receiving me, and always remembers to ask how my wife is doing. I am always satisfied with the care I receive and our related discussion, and after each visit he sends a detailed write-up by mail indicating anything I may need to follow up on. He was also very helpful and supportive when I was diagnosed with lymphoma. I very highly recommend him!

Dr. Lief has been my primary care physician since 2011. He is incredibly smart, caring, compassionate, and gives me great advice, not to mention excellent care. I never feel rushed during the consultations; he listens to my concerns, answers all of my questions, and provides several treatment options when appropriate. I recommend Dr. Lief highly, and am fortunate to continue to be under his care.

This was my second visit with Dr. Lief. I had an annual physical which was great - he sent me a really detailed writeup of my results. This was unlike my previous doc who never contacted me and said "no news was good news." This past visit is what motivated me to post however - Dr. Lief was suggested to me by a friend who told me he's always is available for his patients. I was skeptical but despite being booked up he saw me the SAME DAY I called for an urgent matter. It was a lifesaver.

My first visit to Dr. Lief, on 6/16/16, was for a routine physical. A few days later, I experienced dizziness when standing up. I was on several medications and became concerned. I left a message for Dr. Lief and got a callback 3 days later. In a somewhat sarcastic tone, Dr. Lief expressed surprise that I had called so soon after seeing him. No apology was offered for the delay. On 10/31/16, I asked my pharmacist to call Dr. Lief and request an Rx for an inhaler. No response received to date.

my 2nd time going to dr. lief. I waited 30min in the waiting room with no indication of when I would be seen. I walked out and will find another doctor that respects people's time.

He spend 3 minutes with me, never read the copy's of my past medical records, I was at the office for an annual physical .This was my first time and my last time with this " Dr "

Complete lack of regard for patient time. Scheduled two visits with him first time waited 40 minutes then was told he was going to be late- fine one time it happens. Then scheduled a follow up, second time waited 30 minutes and then only after complaining was told he was delayed and u should reschedule! I'm here at his office why can't he! Also no apology, no excuse, no call to follow up- unprofessional at best unethical at worst- use a different doctor unless you have hours to waste
