About Physician Guided Patient Advocacy

Dr. Jeffrey S. Leitman is a retired physician with more than 40 years of medical experience in Internal Medicine and Family Medicine. Throughout his career, he was dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care, helping individuals and families navigate every stage of their healthcare journey.

Born and raised in New York City, Dr. Leitman earned his undergraduate degree in Biology with honors from Fairleigh Dickinson University before receiving his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, where he graduated in the top five percent of his class. He completed his postgraduate training at Kennedy University Hospital in New Jersey.

For 34 years, Dr. Leitman owned and operated a large Internal Medicine and Family Practice in southern New Jersey, where he cared for generations of patients and built a reputation for thoughtful, personalized care. In 2010, family obligations and a lifelong love of New York brought him and his wife back to New York City, allowing them to be closer to their children and grandchildren.

Today, Dr. Leitman brings his decades of clinical expertise to Physician Guided Patient Advocacy. Having spent a lifetime caring for patients, he understands firsthand how confusing and overwhelming today's healthcare system can be. His mission is to help patients and their families better understand medical diagnoses, evaluate treatment options, prepare for physician appointments, interpret complex medical information, and make informed healthcare decisions with confidence.

While he does not replace a patient's treating physicians or provide direct medical care, Dr. Leitman serves as a trusted medical advocate—offering the perspective of an experienced physician who is focused solely on helping patients receive the best possible care. His goal is to empower every patient with the knowledge, clarity, and support needed to confidently navigate their healthcare journey.
