About John Leimert MD

John D. Leimert, M.D., F.A.A.P earned his medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, LA. Prior to that he had earned his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Dr. Leimert completed his chief residency in Pediatrics at Yale-New Haven Hospital, and then completed his fellowship in Pediatric Pulmonology and Critical Care at Rhode Island Hospital.

Dr. Leimert’s clinical interests include general pediatrics, pediatric respiratory diseases, and the delivery of high quality care to underserved populations. He was inspired to become a physician after watching his brother go to medical school, and learning of his experiences within the medical field. In addition, pediatrics interested Dr. Leimert as he worked at a New Hampshire based camp for underprivileged kids throughout high school and college, really enjoying the opportunities to coach and teach them. His personal philosophy of care is rooted in being present to all aspects of the patient’s human condition – not just the clinical presentation, but also the family’s defining social, economic, ethnic, cultural, and spiritual backgrounds.

Outside of work, Dr. Leimert enjoys many outdoor activities with his grandsons including hiking, kayaking, biking, skiing, camping, swimming, and traveling. Additionally, he teaches Tufts University physician assistant students the art of pediatric medicine, being a member of the faculty there for almost 30 years.

Great. Thank you

Dr.Leimert is absolutely amazing! Aside from having a wonderful bedside manner, he was so thorough. He remembered every detail of my children's medical history as well as what we had discussed at the physical the previous year. Hands-down, one of the best pediatricians I've ever dealt with. His support staff are also wonderful.

Everyone there has been nothing but great. Even though we now live 2 hours away we still continue to come to this location for its great staff. The doctor goes above and beyond and is extremely knowledgeable.

Staff were very friendly. Provide was amazing with answering questions and providing feedback.

Ladies at front desk are usually in a really bad mood, but as soon as your kid gets into the doctors office everything changes

Dr. Leimert continues to be an excellent pediatrician. He cares about my child holistically and always listens to our concerns.

We absolutely love Dr Leimert! He is very knowledgeable and reviews the chart prior to the appointment so he is always up to date on all my son's specialists appointments. He learned that my son had received a treatment we were waiting a very long time for and had called us to see how he was going. He always makes us laugh when we see him and puts my son at ease. He is 100% the best!

From check-in to check out, everyone was pleasant, attentive & caring. Dr. Leimert is the absolute best, he was destined to be a Pediatrician & it shows in his demeanor, ethics & compassion with every visit or call.

Office staff are excellent and the doctor has a wonderful bedside manner.

Dr. Leimert is great. He takes time to engage with the child and I think that's amazing
