Dr Leitch listens to patient history and offers knowledgeable care. His expertise covers Nerve Conduction Test procedures and conditions like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Very thorough, & my opinion & information, was actually listened to, by the Specialist. Keeping in mind, what I had to say, regarding my experiences & my other conditions, could have an impact on results, the report, & overall testing outcomes.
Dr Leith was warm, personable and professional. He took time to ask about my history in relation to the nerve conduction study. He didn’t baulk when it was extensive. It was also obvious he’d taken time to read the information on my intake forms. During the test he gently explained what was happening but keep me busy with general conversation and questions. That made something that can be uncomfortable a whole lot easier. He also dealt very well with my complete lack of proprioception. I commented to another member of my medical team, that if they needed somewhere to send neurodiverse patients for a nerve conduction study, Dr Leitch and Neuroscience Queensland would be well worth considering.
Dr. Michael Leitch’s care during my exam was exceptional. He took the time to explain everything that was going to happen and reviewed results and questions with me following. I would highly recommend a visit with Dr Michael Leitch should you need it?
