“Dr. Leichter is one of my favorite doctors ever, and I've only seen him once! I was so nervous, but the doctor is so warm and friendly, I started to relax very quickly. He seems to be very knowledgeable and I trust him with my health. The office was also pleasant and the staff friendly. I recommend this provider, highly!”

I highly recommend Dr. Leichter! I have been in foot pain for 4 years but he was able to quickly diagnose me and explained everything very thoroughly so I understood why I have the pain and how we can mitigate it. I now feel well informed about my issues and confident I will now be able to mitigate the pain and prevent further damage.
