        Dr Leon saw me in JFK hospital where I had a .feeding,tube that was no longer viable. Previous doctor put in a temporary size 10 tube that also failed to work. Dr Leon removed that tube and put in a temporary size 18 tube which was my size. Because it was very late in the day and all supplies were locked up, he came back on a Sunday and
        quickly installed a size 20 tube. He was able to perform this procedure at my hispital bedside.
        I have had,several feeding tubes put in but Dr. Leon was clearly the most proficient and professional. His changing ofmthe temporary size 10 to 18 make installing the size 20 much easier. Had he not done that, I probably would have been looking at surgery to accomodate a size 18 or 20.
        Best gastro doctor aimhave ever had. Going to enroll in his practice.
