My left jaw became really swollen about 2 years ago before I was a patient of Dr. Leight. After several weeks of antibiotics and seeing several doctors my diagnosis was an infected hair follicle. My swelling did subside but in retrospect I have to question this diagnosis since I was not ordered an ultrasound or ct scan.I saw Dr. Leight with the exact symptoms a few weeks ago.He gave me a good examination and ordered an ultrasound of my left jaw because he strongly suspected that I had a parotid gland blockage. He was correct. The ultrasound showed a stone in my parotid gland duct that resulted in the swelling and infection.I went to an ENT doctor and he removed the stone.Dr. Leight's correct diagnosis put me on the right path for treatment and saved me from several weeks of discomfort.

I have had heart tests and the results show I do not have a heart problem I tried to explain this to them,and told them I would bring the records next time. I felt this didn't matter to them,and that it was over ruled. They said I nee
