What you can expect as Dr Leavers’ patient
You can expect comprehensive and compassionate care when visiting Dr Leavers. From the first appointment through to the end of your treatment. You are the patient and you come first.
This starts with your first consultation where Dr Leavers will spend time taking a complete history and conducting a thorough examination. He will explain his clinical findings and arrange further investigations if necessary. When exploring a treatment plan to provide the best possible outcome, Dr Leavers will always explore surgical and non-surgical options.
