Dr Leff is a straight shooter provider who explains everything clearly and concisely. He keeps an open communication in case questions arise after the visit, but also ensures no questions left unanswered while visiting. He's confident, and really personable. It was a real pleasure being in his care.

I can't say enough about Dr. Leff! Not only is he a phenomenonal surgeon and gave me the best surgical experience that I have ever had, he is also a doctor who actually listens to his patients, really hears them and what their symptoms are. Furthermore he is kind and easy to speak to. I hope I never need him again but won't hesitate if I do.

Most painful experience of my 83 years. He cut dead tissue from my leg wound without numbing the area first. I screamed and cried and he didn’t stop. What doctor does this?

Dr Leff was professional, to the point and assuring. From the first visit to the conclusion of the procedure , the follow up after the procedure and the subsequent personal consultation. I could not have been more pleased.

I have seen all the physicians at Advanced Wound Care. Dr. left, is by far, the best one there. Nothing disparaging about the other doctors. It's just doctor. Life is cool, knowledgeable, gentle, and straightforward. I've been going weekly for Wound debridements for the past three years. Thankfully, and finally, I'm seeing some real results. My recommendation to everyone out there, if you're diabetic and have wounds, take care of them as soon as possible.Oh, and I can't forget to mention the nursing staff. Every single one of those girls is fantastic.Lastly, I want to recognize the administrative staff who are absolutely wonderful and very accommodating.
