      Dr Leyson is wonderful and really cares about her patients. She listens to my concerns and offered a course of action that was helpful. When a patient leaves an appointment, they need to feel that their concerns are addressed. Dr. Leyson always addresses my concerns, and I leave feeling like I have or will have (via tests) the information and tools to help me heal and get better. The doctor can only to so much, and I feel like as a patient I have a responsibility to do what I can to get better. Dr. Leyson helps me with that in the form of information (tests) and checking on progress. When I first started seeing her, she called me in the early evening that day to tell me the results of my tests. It was good news. How many doctors to that? She Is really excellent.

      She sent a fellow in to see me 1st. He barely touched down on my belly. He must have only checked if I was swollen a lot. Nothing else physically was checked. Neither seemed interested in why I had been in a great deal of pain. They didn't feel around to try to figure out where it had coming from. I left feeling sort of uncredited for. By what I could tell she was very busy. The last visit was similar. Before that my doctor showed great care and concern for me.

      My mother and I couldn't even finish what we were saying before being talked over by both the fellow and physician today. Months later and still no diagnosis or answer. I honestly left feeling like I had been made to feel crazy and had wasted tons of leave time.
