January 16, 2025MARTINIAN M.Verified patient
The wait time is long. I waited for at least 45 minutes before calling into the doctor's office. The receptionist explained to me that there're some emergencies that day so hopefully the wait time will be reasonable during my next visit. Except the wait time, Doctor Leibu is excellent and funny. His way of communication made me feel ease and comfortable. And he is very very knowledgable and experienced. As i mentioned my prescription history, he could provide answers and advices immediately. Much much better than my previous primary physician. Would come back next year for annual physical exam.

March 26, 2024Kevin M.Verified patient
My first visit was a pleasure! So much better than these Hospital "Health Systems"!
1) You don't have to wait 1/2 hour for someone to answer the phone while being forced to hear about all the awards the have won just to make an appointment.
2) You don't have to wait 21/2 months for your appointment!
3) Dr. and staff were very friendly, intelligent, knowledgeable and very good listeners.
A pleasure!

Dr Tonel is not an alarmist. He is busy. Very kind demeanor. Some of my concerns were not given the concern I would hope for. That being said I felt comfortable with him and at ease. Genuinely someone that I felt happy to see as my PCP.
The front desk is friendly and sweet.
