Dr. Leitzel and the staff were amazing.Even though a lot of the symptoms had decreased by the time I got to the facility the team treated me no different.Doc was thorough in her examination and with ordering any tests needed to help diagnose the issue and she was clear and complete with advising me along the way.I would welcome her as a regular part of my care team if that were possible.Thank you to Dr. Leitzel and the team for everything they did for me.
