Dr. Ann Leitch, MD

I was relaxed when I finally met with Dr Leitch and recognized how extremely exceptional she is and how thorough. I am very grateful to be under her care.

Dr. Leitch has extraordinary skillset for processing clinical information. While that is a wonderful attribute, her expertise is limited to that aspect of clinical practice. Dr. Leitch has a challenged bedside manner. She is detached, in terms of her engagement style. It comes off as dismissive and a bit arrogant. I doubt she intends that. She demonstrates difficulty intuiting patient's communication style, their personality make up, their psychological need toward maintenance of confidence re treatment plan. She misses opportunity to tailor her engagement in a way that results in a best practices approach. I experienced a serious post surgical hemorrhage that went undetected despite my attempts to inform nurse that I was in trouble. I required an urgent 2nd surgery to address the hemorrhage. It didn't need to happen. And, it shouldn't have gone undetected for hours. Her avoidance in engaging dialogue, fully, re the surgical result was insult to injury, and inexplicable.
