I am a brand new patient of Dr. Leavitt, I set him as my primary provider on my insurance. I was so terribly disappointed on my first visit to his office. I found Dr. Leavitt impersonal, completely unfriendly, noncommunicative, completely uninterested in me personally as his patient, and just not someone anyone would place faith in as their doctor. If you can't communicate with your doctor, what good are they? I really did crash and burn with this doctor.

I noted on many of these one star reviews, many people complain that they pay to see a doctor and are seen by a nurse practitioner. On my second visit to Dr. Leavitt's office I was also shuffled to a nurse practitioner. It is common knowledge he does not see most of his patients, but rather his office staff (nurse practitioners) see the bulk of the patients.

I wasted almost an entire day with the refill of one pain prescription. The prescription was written as follows: OXYCODNONE-APAP 10-325 mg TAB.

I explained to the nurse practitioner and several of their office staff that the APAP, which is acetaminophen makes me extremely sleepy and when I took the prescription as prescribed, I could depend on literally being put to sleep. When I requesed a refIll, I asked for the 10 mg OXYCODONE alone without the acetaminophen. Their reply was the OXYCODONE without the acetaminophen was a "different" OXYCODONE, DEA considered it much stronger, therefore they could not write the prescription without the acetaminophen.

I called my pharmacy, spoke to one of the pharmacists and she said with or without the acetaminophen, the OXYCODONE IS 10 mg, as shown on the prescription, and it would be exactly the same with or without the acetaminophen, and any claim by the doctor's office about DEA considering it a stronger, more dangerous compound is just straight out BS. Yet I argued with these people for any entire afternoon and got nowhere and Dr. Leavitt was not in the office at all.

We patients can only take so much, so I said, go ahead and just fill it again with the acetaminophen, however, this will be my last trip to Dr. Paul Leavitt's office, life is too short to deal with a doctor that is clearly not interested in me as a patient. Oh, I should also mention it's been hours since I told them to please "immediately" phone that prescription in to the pharmacy. Speaking of the pharmacy, the pharmacist told me, since they refused to drop the actaminophen off the script, I should just drink a big cup of coffee everytime I take the medication, how about that, thank you Dr. Leavitt! I don't care for coffee! I have followed with the pharmacy over and over and over again, still no prescription sent to them electronically. As I said, we patients can only stand so much abuse, I'm OUT!

I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A DR. THAT CAME INTO THE ROOM AND JUST STOOD THERE, SAYING HELLO, NO FILE, NO COMPUTER,. I HAD TO TELL HIM WHAT I WANTED ie CHECK MY EARS FOR FLUID, HE IS SO QUIET, GETTING HIM TO SAY ANYTHING IS LIKE PULLING TEETH, AS I ONE VISIT WENT, I HAD BLOOD DRAWN, THAT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS AGO, STILL TO THIS DAY NO ONE HAS CALLED WITH THE RESULTS, NO MORE DR. LEAVITT FOR ME.

My experience with Dr. Leavitt has been the best! He is the best doctor I have ever been to. I was so impressed with the progress I was able to make after seeing him. All my questions were answered, and I felt better right away. Dr. Leavitt and his staff always help me right when I need it. I like that his office offers same-day appointments and walk-in sick visits. They are always so kind and attentive to me. I don't have to worry about them fussing at me for being a smoker, which has been a problem for me at other places.

Very intelligent doctor, great bedside manner. Really listened to me. Focused on getting me well and then helping me maintain it. Dr. Leavitt's staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better. Dr. Leavitt explained everything in detail, all my questions were answered, and I felt a lot better about choosing a treatment plan. If you are looking for a new doctor, call this one first, you will be glad you did.
