Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I will be sure never to call Dr. Leifer next time i need help. I found him to be a terrible listener, uncaring, insensitive and stubborn. Did not meet my expectations as a physician.

Dr. Leifer is a good doctor, but the administrative staff of is rude, uncaring, and unprofessional!!!! I am seriously considering changing to another doctor. I have never experienced the kind of treatment I have received in his office!!!!! As a service provider and businessman, he needs to know about the lack of professionalism with his staff. Maybe it's time to make some personnel changes.
