How likely are you to recommend Dr. Letchuman?
Due to a traumatic event, I sustained multiple injuries and subsequent illnesses. I one single night when a masked man entered my home and violently assaulted me, I went from competitive runner, cyclist, etc., with mint health, to a deeply damaged patient. I have now been with Dr. Letchuman and his wonderful nurse, Erin, for 4 years. My eyes swell with tears as I write this. They have been so kind to me. They truly listen. Dr. Letchuman is so thorough. I am equally thorough in my personal medical management so I feel I can relate to his meticulous nature. Sure, given the time we live in where the bad apples have created a horrific scenario for those of us who have valid pain needs, we are required to go through more hoops to get what we need. Transparency and trust take time to prove, but I can honestly say, the long process is worth it because Dr. Letchuman et al have brought “me” back to myself and my love ones. I’m not 100%, but he is doing his best to help me get there.
