Dr. De Leonni is highly skilled and very thorough. At age 60+, I had been bounced around from neurologist to neurologist in Tucson and the Scottsdale Mayo Clinic and diagnosed incorrectly. It wasn't until I met Dr. De Leonni at Vita Medica that I finally got diagnosed correctly through many thorough procedures and tests. I had been living with partial seizure disorder and severe migraine headaches since childhood. The medications, vitamin supplements, and other needed treatments have given me a second chance for a good life. I trust Dr. De Leonni completely and feel blessed that she came to Tucson. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable, and always helpful as well. Phone calls are promptly returned and despite my illnesses, I always feel welcomed and comforted by them. Thanks to all of you!!!
