Verified patient
The pre-visit online check-in process was not working, which meant my appointment went longer than anticipated with the nurse going through the entire litany of questions. The wait seemed long, especially considering there was no one in the waiting room besides me. I was told to pay before my appointment…and again afterwards. The machine used in my procedure broke down. Staff tried to fix the problem, and in doing so, revealed the inside of the cabinet that housed the machine was dirty. We had to switch rooms mid-procedure. I assume it was the doctor who came in at the end, but I’m not sure. On the way out the door, I was forced to pay again…this time for the procedure itself.
Friendly people all the way around.
Verified patient
Dr. Leto is awesome. He is very professional but easy going at the same time. I appreciate his time spent listening to everything I had to say!
Verified patient
Dr. Leto and his staff provided a welcoming and comfortable experience. They offered valuable insights into sinus function and its impact on overall health. The consultation was highly informative, and Dr. Leto demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. The sinus and throat examination was conducted with precision and gentleness, ensuring a completely painless experience.
Verified patient
I've had long standing sinus issues, and Dr.Leto (and his staff) are helping me to understand a lot more about what I can do to treat these issues. The staff was very pleasant, respectful, and professional. This office made me comfortable with the plans of action, moving forward, and seemed to be (even) more knowledgeable of my sinus problems than I am
Verified patient
Very happy with Dr and his staff!
Staff was friendly Dr was great Will be back
Verified patient
Dr Leto was very personable and friendly. He explained everything well and made sure I understood before moving onto the next subject. I am an RN so I know how easy it is for Doctors to forget their bedside manners, but he was exceptional. Would recommend and return for sure.
Verified patient
Dr Leto was extremely knowledgeable. He couldn't help me with my specific issues, so he referred me to the doctor who could. He explained everything about my case and understood how difficult it has been for me to get to the finish line. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Verified patient
He's good and to the point
Verified patient
Very prompt, professional and friendly.
Verified patient
On my initial visit the doctor already had a procedure (endoscopy) planned before even seeing me, which I sincerely appreciate as results & finding were found in less than 10 minutes which helped lead me to what the problem could be.
Verified patient
The office collected my office visit and had me out in less then 5 minutes with no clarity on my current condition. I left with the ear pain and no solution to resolve the issue or explanation. It was an ear check and on my way . Waste of time and money and now I have to find another Dr. The Dr was rushed and seemed a bit aggressive. .
He answered numerous questions well. Was very personable. He referred a specialized question to another technical expert. Very .pleased
Verified patient
Dr. Leto was super friendly and professional. He was thorough and made sure I was clear with my concerns and reason for my visit. The receptionists and nurses were also very friendly and made sure everything went quickly and smoothly. 100% recommend.
Verified patient
DR LETO IS A SWEETHEART, meaning, to me he has JOY in his heart and that Joy fuels his energy. He treats his patients with dignity. There is a positive flow of communication. He explains what you MAY have, WHY you may have it, & what he feels is the best treatment path. His staff are very amicable too . Thank goodness one can bypass the first floor registration as well as go on line to book an appointment and view patient information. TIME is precious gift. Dr Leto took TIME to answer my questions, but he didn’t have time to chit chat. Although, I bet he is a very interesting conversationalist. I highly recommend.
Dr. Leto has helped improve my quality of life with his allergy treatment plan. I no longer have repeated sinus infections and chronic bronchitis.
Verified patient
The staff was very friendly, very professional. I have been sick for months with little to no answer or relief from others. Leaving today I am extremely confident I made the right decision coming in.
Verified patient
Dr. Leto is the first ent specialist I have had to deal with. I am always able to get an appointment within a reasonable time. Dr. Leto listens to my issues, always double checks my ears when I say it still feels not great to make sure it looks the way it should. I highly recommend Dr. Leto.
Dr. Leto used an ear cleaning tool to dig deeply into my ear until I was in pain. He was so focused on cleaning my ear, he did not stop when I reacted. It was really painful and not only did he not prepared me for the discomfort by saying it might hurt, but he did not even apologize for causing the discomfort. He seems very knowledgeable and wasn't rude, but I feel he needs to be more cognizant of a patient's emotional cues.
Dr. Leto and staff really took the time to listen to my problems, find solutions, and spend a great amount of time with me figuring everything out.
Verified patient
Dr Leto is great! He is professional, courteous, he listens, he explains thoroughly, and is a doctor I’ll keep for life. If he’s not your ENT doctor, you’re selling yourself short.

Verified patient
I cannot put into words how pleased I am with Dr. Leto. He is a VERY cool doctor. Not a jerk like some docs I've dealt with. He completely listened, understood, explained, answered my questions, and respected my own wishes. I am very happy. And the office staff were great, too. Very friendly. They also took me in on time! Not like so many doc offices where you wait forever before your appt.
