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.

Patient, knowledgeable and caring
Dr. Leckman repaired my hernia with a mesh implant 5 years ago. Recently I started feeling some pressure again and he got me in right away to make sure it hadn't ruptured or perforated. He was very patient and listened to all our concerns and made sure the mesh was still intact.

I was referred to Dr. Leckman after it was discovered I had stomach cancer. I was able to quickly schedule a consultation with him. It comforted me that Dr. Leckman took a cautious approach and carefully shared with me all my options. His office staff were so great to work with and eager to help me understand what my follow-up steps would be. On the day of surgery he met with me and reassured me. Surgery went very well. He used laparoscopy which improved my recovery time significantly.

In an emergency I had to pick Dr. Leckman from a very long list of surgeons that were covered by insurance. He was referred by a. Clinic in St. Mark'svwith a few other drs. After reading about him and his staff he seemed to be the best choice, with great credentials, incl many humanitarian aw The day of my visit very sick. Both he and his staff were very attentive and consoling. He ended up putting me in the hospital that same day and did my surgery the next. I've never felt in better hands

I hospitalized by the ER for appendicitis, and I met Dr. Leckman. He didn't think I had appendicitis and ran labs on me several times. labs were perfectly normal. Dr Leckman discharged me and a day later I emailed him. within half hour of my email his office called me and scheduled me for an office visit on the following day. Dr Leckman decided to remove my appendix after all just to be safe. The next day after surgery Dr Leckman told my wife I did not have normal appendicitis but it was bad.
