Anderson, MD President, Texas State Board of Medical Examiners Box 2018 Austin, TX 78768-2018 Dear Dr. Anderson, I have been a colleague of Philip Leonard For at least 15 years. I know him personally as well as professionally. It is my opinion that he is an asset to the Austin Medical Community. I know him to be a caring physician devoted to the care of this pediatric patients. I wholeheartedly endorse the reinstatement of his license to practice medicine. Many of us have depended on his medical judgment and wisdom for years and wish to do so again. Sincerely, Byron Kocen MD, FAAP
