He is caring and compassionate, and certainly a complete expert in his ability to do surgery on shoulders, also very personable and put me at ease.

I was very reluctant to have surgery and plastic parts I took a leap Dr Leitze surprised me but how easy and painless because of his fine work. His reputation follows him

Very professional!

It was a great visit, all my questions were answered and explained thoroughly

Dr. Leitze has "reassembled" me in the past, and I couldn't be more impressed.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/11/2025
Dr Leitze got down to several issues with my problem. He questioned me thoroughly where my pain was, helped with a bone spur, is seeing me in one month. We talked about 3 options and he Iwill think about my best when I see him again. He doesn't just look at the same X-ray over and over like other Orthopedic Surgeons. He physically felt the locations in my shoulder that were painful and was able to make a remarkable assessment. He is the very best. I recommend him to anyone that has complex issues to try and recover from.

He listened and wanted to provide the best solution, not one that benefited him the most.
