Super excellent doctor
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/19/2026
This was my 3rd visit to Dr Leo for a dislocated/relocated shoulder. He is so patient and kind; he takes the time to listen to all of my concerns. I was feeling a little depressed because my shoulder isn''t 100% yet, but he reassured me that not only was my progress normal, but that I was actually doing very well. His support re-energized me as I continue my rehab treatments and I feel very confident in his diagnosis and prognosis. I am confident that under his care I will soon have a full recovery.
