I went to Dr. Leitzen for a second opinion and he gave me a different diagnosis than the doctor I saw previously; this is because Dr. Leitzen actually took the time to review my chart and CT/MRI images prior to my first appointment. You’d think all doctors would do that, but the ENT I saw before Leitzen clearly did not, he was stumbling through the images during my visit and didn’t seem sure what he was looking at. Dr. Leitzen spoke with absolute confidence, reviewed the images with me and explained everything to me in Layman’s terms. I then felt confident in his diagnosis and my nerves were at ease knowing I would be in good hands. I had a major surgery done by Dr. Leitzen that I don’t know I would’ve done had I seen any other doctor, I don’t know that I would’ve had that same level of confidence anywhere else and I’m beyond grateful to have the privilege of being his patient. I highly recommend Dr. Leitzen.
