Patient Reviews
Oct 03, 2021
Dr. Leavitt did my first colonoscopy and was not only the ultimate professional but was extremely patient with me since I told him ho scared I was. If you need to speak to him urgently he will also go out of his way to call you on a weekend. Something rare these days. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Leavitt.
