Kenneth M Leavitt

I had bunion, hammer toe and tarsal surgery - my foot it 100% worse after surgery - I know he’s an amazing surgeon but there’s always the one - that would be me - at least I can walk and I’m thankful for that

He will do what any other doctor can’t. The best around

Dr Leavitt is AMAZING!! He took wonderful care of my husbands ankle and we are entrusting him with our daughters upcoming bunion surgery in February.

One year after a major bunionectomy, correction of 3 hammertoes, and a few screws in the joints, I have a PERFECT foot. Much gratitude to Dr. Leavitt. He is an excellent Dr. and I would recommend him to anyone needing foot care. He came highly recommended to me by fellow podiatrists and other patients.

Waited almost 2 hours to be seen for 5 min. Triple books patients. No covid social distancing protocols followed. Packed waiting room with patients standing. No respect for his patients based on this visit. Would never go back!

I had a triple arthrodesis about 10 yrs ago by Dr. Leavitt I had previously been mis diagnosed for 5 yrs by another Dr.at large hospital. Frustrated, I was advised to see Dr. Leavitt. He recognized immediately that my arch collapsed. 10 yrs later my reconstructed ankle continues to be trouble free. Now in Fl .I am having problems with a big toe on the opposite foot. A toe fusion may have to be done and if so, I will come back to NE Baptist and have Dr. Leavitt do the fusion. He had an outstanding reputation.

Very successful bunion surgery

Rather than wearing a proper mask during COVID, he wore a mask that had the ear strings cut off, and the mask was only held up by a bandaid across the nose. He also instructed me to remove my mask. Based on the NRA card and political cartoon he displayed, I assume that he like our prrsident does not take COVID seriously. He seemed most interested in seeing as many patients as quickly as possible rather than providing correct care.

I recently had my left foot worked on by Dr. Leavitt. It had been injured approx 20 years ago through athletics. I ran in college and then later on ran multiple Boston marathons. After my injury, my ankle/foot got progressively worse. Finally ended up having surgery about 10+ years ago with different doctor. I had achilles debridement plus bone spurs removed. However, this surgery never worked. It got so bad that I could barely walk comfortably. My primary dr recommended Dr Leavitt so I gave him a try. It’s been since Dec 2019, but I am thrilled to say, ALL my discomfort is gone. I couldn’t be happier. I’m now thinking about putting my sneakers back on to give running another try. Thank you so much Dr Leavitt!!!

Professional, personable, knowledgeable and competent —-everything you wish for in a DR that fixes your foot????

Absolutely amazing!!! The BEST

I had my second surgery with Dr. Leavitt on Nov. 2019. This recent procedure was a major reconstruction of my right foot. In between my surgeries, he performed bunion surgery on my wife, which was extremely successful and she has referred numerous friends to “ her hero” Dr. Leavitt. My surgery went very smooth as he predicted and I am well on my way to recovery, which will entail a few months plus therapy. I was there today for a follow up on a Saturday, believe it or not. How many Boston doctors see patients on a Saturday, full day? The ability to travel to Boston on a weekend is a blessing, designed by Dr. Leavitt to accommodate patients in remote areas. On our ride home my wife and I always do the same thing for the first fifteen minutes, raving about how fortunate we were to find him. He gives you ample time upon each visit, addresses all concerns and fully explains protocol, going forward, to take good care of your foot. Dr. Leavitt is truly a gift to all in need of foot care!!

Absolutely amazing! After 5 yrs and 5 different drs. Dr. Leavitt fixed my foot/ankle. I am now running and skating again

Outstanding!! I went to see him for a second opinion. He took the time to explain my condition and put me at ease.

My PCP sent me to him after an ongoing issue that many providers in my area could not resolve. Thank You so much Dr. Leavitt.

He is an amazing doctor. Very pleased to be a patient of his. He is outstanding. Very compassionate, took the time to explain to me what was wrong with me.

Amazing doctor! He repaired my leg after 4 other doctors said it couldn't be done! I can do everything I used to do now. Just sad it took me so long to find him!

Dr. Leavitt is not only personable but a thorough diagnostician. Although recuperation time from foot surgery was long halix limitis surgery on both big toes was successful. I moved to Connecticut, now have problems with another toe which means driving back to Dr. Leavitt who I trust.

Dr leavitt salvaged my left foot from a previous unsuccesfull surgery for a shattered talus in 2001 , and stuck with me through several surgeries and several years of tough going.thanks to him i still have my foot .still walking the beach in puerto rico dr leavitt...thank you. thomas bowles

Best doc ever. Crushed my foot and had other specialist tell me that there's nothing else that can be done and after 30 seconds of feeling my foot Dr. Leavitt was 100% confident that he could fix my foot and he did

unable to admit mistakes, and the fact that he was in over his head with my case. After informing him he misdiagnosed me and had results he refused to admit it. Staff is rude and incompetent. Wait times are the usual 1-3hours on weekends which I've grown to be used to. Yes he will see patients on the weekends, yes he shows he cares but at the end of the day the inability to admit a mistake that could've cost someone their livelihood and foot is unforgivable. I will not be back.

Dr. Kenneth leavitt fixed both my feet with proper surgery . he corrected all my toes along with my metatarsals that a prior DPM didn't do right. I can't thank Dr. Leavitt enough. I highly recommend him. He could make any bad foot turn into a great foot.

Dr. Kenneth M. Leavitt is not only an awesome foot surgeon but he's an amazing human being. People drive from out of state to see him because he's worth the trip. He can repair surgeries gone bad elsewhere which is a talent in itself, I have a friend of my mother in Maynard, Mass. that can attest to that. My left foot needed numerous repairs to the bones and my foot is perfect now and pain free even with hardware inside me. I know of two people personally that had horrible pain that other doctors said couldn't be fixed and he did surgery on one and a nerve block on the other( she's from N.H., like me) and gave both of them their life back. He's been my HERO two more times for chronic "mystery" pain unrelated to my foot surgery. My pain was not a mystery to Dr. Leavitt, he knew what needed to be done. He solved my pain with nerve blocks. He works with Dr. Artinian, another awesome doctor, who does the blocks that Dr. Leavitt orders. The first block lasted five years pain free and he just ordered another one and I am healing more every day, so far after a week, 60% of my pain is gone and the medication has another week to work. I was told by other doctors to just take pain medication and do meditation and learn to cope with the pain. Dr. Leavitt saved me again from a life of misery without hope. Dr. Leavitt will, out of the goodness of his heart, do all he can to give you quality living because he truly cares about you as a person. It's not about money with him. He donates his time and talents to the impoverished in Europe and works so hard in his practice here in ways that go above and beyond expectations of his job. It's obviously more than a job to him, it's his mission to stop the pain and at the very least give people hope..............you are truly my hero, Dr. Leavitt.............with love from a devoted patient, Donna Hofmann( I'm also a Registered Nurse since 1971 so I understand more than the average patient.)

Dr. Leavitt doesn't listen/trust what patients say. He gave me 3day pain killers even though I was in extreme pain after bone surgery. Post surgery support is non-existent. His work may be good; but he doesn't care about patients or post-op care, all he cares about is his reputation. Office visits are a waste of time (average waiting 2h or more / 5min visit), office staff is unfriendly. He is rude and definitely not a people person. He should be in O.R. and not be working directly with patients

Dr. Leavitt does chooses to practice his trade without patient support - flat out plain and simple. His work may be good; yet I judge a doctor by the whole - including post-op care. Office visits are grueling, and you are made to feel like cattle or sardines. Post surgery support is non-existent. His choices about given ONLY a 48 hour pain management plan after MAJOR bone surgery is unique in my experience. Most doctors want you to heal and recover; he says "deal with it". Choose wisely.

Dr. Leavitt is a talented surgeon and a very kind person who truly cares about your pain. He's been my hero for several separate medical problems, twice when other doctors said nothing more could be done, to just cope with the pain . He repaired my foot damaged badly by arthritis. I have no pain and my foot is normal. You wait for him because he wants to make the suffering stop of so many who reach out to him, who often have been told elsewhere nothing more can be done. He's worth the wait.

In my opinion if a doctor has no regard for his patients, he is not worth seeing. People are packed like cattle and the wait time is never less than 2-3 hrs. When I questioned his staff about the long wait they repliedThis is the way he likes it. He is inconsiderate and rude. After stringing me along for one year for ankle pain he told me he was Stumped. When I questioned him about the long wait he responded that's how I do business Thank you very much Dr Leavitt for all the hours wasted!

This was my second visit. Dr.Leavitt seemed rushed; I had to wait ninety minutes to see him and had been longing forward to this visit. He clearly didn't remember me and contradicted two important items from the previous visit. He quickly informed me that i wasn't a surgical candidate and offered a cortisone shot in each foot. He did inform me that they would hurt and they did! I had hoped for more guidance in how to manage my arthritic feet and a kinder approach.to patient care.

I am very satisfied with the surgical outcome but due to his communication issues and complete lack of nursing and competent support staff, post-operative care is poor and resulted in a major complication.

Over 2 hr waiting with no place to sit, when finally seen appointment was rushed and a waste of time. Never see him on Saturday in his Boston practice unless you like being herded and treated like cattle. .

I had a very difficult case involving five procedures at once. I had a second opinion and the other physician agreed fully with Dr. Leavitt's surgical plan. After the surgery I was fortunate to have very successful pain management. My first cast was removed after two weeks and my foot looked amazing. Another couple of months of casts and no weight bearing and I think I will feel like a new person.
