He also has lectured and delivered several presentations on the subject. He maintains an affiliation with the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn and is certified in medical acupuncture.
Dr. Leibowitz's unique approach to patient care stems from his successful battle with bone cancer. He has incorporated his own experiences — which included a series of major surgeries and months of grueling chemotherapy — into his patient-centered approach. As a doctor, he’s had the uncommon experience of standing in his patients’ shoes and brings this refreshing perspective into the exam room when he cares for his patients.
Today, Dr. Leibowitz leads a practice grounded in the principles of scientific, integrative, and open-minded medical care. The practice offers a full array of procedures typical in a comprehensive primary care setting. Services include EKGs, pulmonary function tests, earwax removal, pre-surgery checkups, back pain diagnosis and treatment, cancer screenings, vaccinations, annual physicals, and targeted weight loss plans such as the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet® and OPTIFAST®.
