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.

Dr Leslie is true a body mechanic. I was involveled in a MVA in which my acetabulum socket blew into fragments. I required 2 plates & 15 50mm screws. He is the best in the orthopedic world in my eyes. Very caring, spends as much time as needed and answers all questions without hesitation. Thank you Dr. Leslie & also (Yale new haven hospital)

A doctor whose effectiveness lasts a long time Eight years ago this month, my wife suffered an acetabulum fracture. Her pelvis was split into two pieces, her hip socket was crushed, her thigh bone was pushed 2 inches into her abdomen and she had a drop toe syndrome from compression of her ri right peroneal nerve. Fortunately, Dr. Leslie was available ideal New Haven Hospital to become her attending surgeon.over these years she has been battered by over 20 falls leading to three spinal fractures. However,not one bolt,rivet or metal plate from dr leslies work has even loosened.

Dr. Leslie was exceptionally professional and caring when he performed emergency surgery on our son immediately after a bad injury in November 2018. He couldn’t have been more knowledgeable and skillful, and his follow-up was excellent as well. My wife and I felt very fortunate to entrust our son’s recovery to Dr. Leslie.

I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Leslie in the emergency room at Yale. After a bad fall from a ladder I had experienced a severe tibial plateau fracture in one leg and a severe calcaneus (heel) fracture in the other leg. The bone fractures were displaced badly and in many pieces. Dr. Leslie somehow put these pieces back together again after surgery. I thank God for someone with Dr. Leslie's skills to be able to reconstruct those badly fractured areas, it's amazing to me.

Dr Leslie is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. On my husband's first appointment, he scheduled him for surgery right away, since my husband's issue was very serious. After spending months going around in circles, we're so happy we found Dr Leslie. He's very knowledgeable, approachable, caring, top of the notch all around. He will clearly explain what options you have and what's the best course of action. He saved my husband's leg and for that we're eternally grateful..
