Ronald S Leuchter, MD

I wrote a review of Dr. Leuchter In January of this year. I suggest you read it if you are in need of a surgeon. I have now had 3 follow ups with Dr. Leuchter and my final one is in about a month. A regular surgeon would have sent me packing back to my OB/​GYN a couple visits ago, but Dr. Leuchter knows I am super comfortable with him. You see he fixed me and I am great. I won’t go into detail, because yuk, but assume it safe to say I had ever reason to be scared (again) and ever reason to search out the best doctor, even if I had to leave the State. The best was 25 minutes from my front door. I am a lucky woman.
Dr. Leuchter personally sees his patients for every follow up. You do not get a staff member or one of his Fellows, you see Dr. Leuchter and you get as much time as you want with Dr. Leuchter and all your questions are answered.
I simply can not recommend him enough.
I have had many health issues so sad for me, but good for the reader, I know what I am talking about. He is just great. You will know you are safe. You will know he cares about you. He will not make you feel like an idiot. He will never, ever rush you. You will not wait an hour passed your appointment time. Dr. Leuchter knows what he is doing and he keeps up with all the latest research in his field.
Dr. Leuchter works with his patients and listens to see what they want, what they need. He knows all of your medical history before the first visit, he is not sitting there reading. He has already done that and in my case that was not a small file.
Dr. Leuchter is simply a great surgeon. I have one of the best Oncologists in the Country for reasons I won’t bore you with. He said, «Go to Dr. Leuchter.» I am alive. I am well. I have no scars that you can even see – I can’t find them anymore and it has been only 6 months.
When the fear of cancer or some other horror making nightmare comes to your door and I hope it never does, and you need an OB/​GYN Surgeon, you go to Dr. Leuchter. You will be so happy you did. Trust me.

Am very grateful for being referred to Dr. Leuchter… brilliant surgeon, caring man, and described by other doctors I spoke to as the «best» doctor to perform surgery, especially in laparoscopic and Da Vinci robotic techniques. No problems whatsoever in making appointments before or after my surgery. I would strongly recommend a consultation with Dr. Leuchter if you’re dealing with female issues which require a possible surgery.

I know the Unilocal reviews are spotty but gotta say, my first few touch points with Dr L have been great! Professional, on top of it, proactive and even a nice bedside manner! His resident sets the tone immediately with ease and confidence and then Dr L nails it! So my first and hopefully last encounter with the big C has me feeling very optimistic with the doctor and his team! Will add as we continue the journey!
Ps heard horrible things about cedars and so far, validated parking, valet and concierge to meet and greet and get you to the right place ROCK! And, had four different experts in different specialties recommend the doctor for girlie part trouble and gotta say, think I know why they did and we haven’t even gotten to the anesthesia part yet ;-)

Dr. Leuchter performed robotic surgeon to remove cancer. I trusted him completely and he did an excellent job. I felt he explained the procedure very well and in terms that I understood. His office staff at Cedar Sinai has been very helpful, especially Shirley in scheduling, as well as his nurse in answering post operative questions. Yes, it does take some patience when dealing with the Cedars Sinai phone network, but to me that is a small price to pay for a leading cancer surgeon to be in charge of my health care. Its been 2 weeks post operative, and I trust that the remaining follow up care I will be receiving from Dr. Leuchter and his staff will continue and I make a full recovery.

I live by the «Thumper Rule» if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. However if you are searching for a trusted surgeon to partner though your journey keep looking. My cancer may be gone, but what Dr. L calls «scar tissue» has been painfully with me since 2011. The Arrogance Dr Ronald Leuchter stressed me out in and outside of his office. He is more interested in showing his students how wonderful he is than caring & listening to his patients. The only time I had his full attention was when I told him he was being recorded.

Excellent surgeon.
Abominable and incompetent staff. TRUST NOTHING that goes through his administrative staff. Insist on copies, then double check any scheduling or appointments by phone before showing up. That includes any pre-​op appts, and any scheduled procedures at the hospital.
Truly the most incompetent staff I’ve ever experienced. Not good when you are Ill.

Saved my mom’s life twice. Big fan of Ron Leuchter!

very nice guy. he’s a gyno oncologist (treats cancer of the ladybits).
sadly, his staff is really disorganized. they will likely mess up your appointment. and maybe your files you faxed over will never get there, even though you faxed them weeks ago.
i hear his Santa Monica office (at St. Johns) is easier to navigate than the Cedars one. same appointment staff though!
