Dr Leonard has been treating me for 15 years and has observed how he conducts his practice. Neurologists have to get close to subject and get a hands on feeling for bone structure/muscle/nerve structure and I can see how people get the wrong impression of this type of practice but this is imperative to treat neurological problems.

The complainants if felt violated should look deep and hard at what type of treatment they were receiving and just walked out of office. I feel Dr Leonard is being taken advantage of because of his practice for monetary reasons and I hope you realize this could open door for any person to try and do the same thing to many Doctors and I fell this is a nationwide problem that can only get worse.

Dr Leonard has helped me to the highest professional treatment know to the medical community. I have nothing but excellent praise for the job that Dr Leonard has done for me and I hope these people only looking for a monetary advantage get not what they want but a free follow visit if that will help them.

 Because of this issue I would advise Dr Leonard to have a female staff member in his exams from this point on feel free to contact me at any time.

Please let Dr Leonard continue his practice he has helped so many patients.
