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.

Second Surgery a Great Success
Doctor Leberer is a consummate pro that explains the problem and the solution thoroughly.

Dr Leberer speaks very quickly & has an arrogant attitude. He did not provide detailed instructions as to home care after a procedure was performed. Stated expectations on recover did not match reality. The patient portal is useless. I posed 5 questions but he only answered 3 of them. A second time one follow up question was not answered at all. The nurse seen before he comes into the room is cold, with no personality. Getting an appointment was a joke since he’s only there one day per week & they don’t have a cancellation list. Room for improvement in all aspects.

Excellent, Dr excellent facility
I have never met Dr.Leberer before my colonoscopy. He came in and introduced himself talked about my health history, talked about procedure and answered any other questions I had. He was not rushed, and was very attentive. 5 stars

This doctor is quick to leave examination room. When I could get him to answer them, I was only given short answers to my questions. I had the feeling I was annoying him with my concerns. Bedside manner is abrupt. I found it troubling that when it came to parts of the exam, I felt I was not given a choice.

He was awesome when I had surgery for diverticulitus. Had some complications due to heavy scarring during the surgery. He actually spent the night in the hospital in the event I needed to go back into surgery. That's just the type of doc he is. Highly recommend him!
