Dr. Lef is a little brusque but professional and efficient. If you're looking for a doctor to ask prodding questions about your health and explore more holistically, might not go to Dr. Lef. If you need help with a focused issue, I would recommend.

At first I was worried that I would not see Dr. Laf because my appointment was on a Tueday at 6:15 pm and I had just booked it at 2 pm that same day. Needless to say I was relieved when I saw her walk into the room. Her bedside manners were excellent she took the time to listen and ask questions that related to the symptoms I had explained. She tried various ways of testing my symptoms and explained her diagnosis to me. I can’t say how many times i’ve been to a doctor where I was rushed in and out. She even diagnosed a second issue I was not scheduled for. I highly recommend Dr. Laf.
