My previous doctor was Dr. Stuart Willick, and he doesnt see necks anymore. So, I was a little frustrated to be 'starting over' with a new provider. Eric was wonderful, and I understand that he is also following a process. He told me, 'i just met you, i cant give you the steroid shot yet.'

Unsure how to answer questions. Doctor very thorough, helpful and kind. Took very special interest in my symptoms. However, did not resume meeting with me after I had x-rays done. I was told by nurse that the doctor said I was "good to go" and that I would receive phone call back regarding my results. My appointment was on Thursday. No phone call back. I called Friday and left message. I never heard from doctor or an assistant on Friday either. I received my results through MyChart but cannot interpret them. I do not know if their findings could have contributed to my symptoms, and if they did what I can do to keep the symptoms under control so they do not happen again. I'm very confused and a little disappointed that I haven't heard back from anyone.

I have not always been happy with the care provided by this office, I have actually only seen the doctor very briefly. The care Eric Leach provided during this visit was outstanding. I definitely will try and make my appointments with him in the future. He answered all my questions and offered suggestions that will be useful as i deal with osteoporosis.
