Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Took time
He took time with me and it seemed like he actually wanted to find an answer as much as I did. I respect his process because it is thorough and he double and triple checks always.

Dr. Leydon is an excellent physician!
He was my husband’s provider for several years before my husband died November 22 of 2021. He provided excellent care and my husband really connected with him. Let me say that is rare. My husband avoided medical appts like the plague when his former provider left GHC. With Dr. Leydon he was willing once again to be seen. Dr. Leydon took the time to listen and explain, that is a rare commodity in my experience as a nurse and a patient. Two of my sons and my 20 year old grandson also see Dr. Leydon. Thank you Dr. Leydon!

Most AMAZING DR I have ever had.
I use to see DR Leydon about 5 years ago. I was severely overweight and struggling with my health. I have since moved away to Colorado and his impact on me was life changing. I immediately started walking every day and have lost over 160lb. This last year though my health has took a turn and I again had to search for a Dr. This has made me realize how truly amazing Dr Leydon really is. He is a doctor who truly treated me as a person and not another appointment. Unfortunately 3 Doctors later no one is even close to DR Leydon. Not even one of them listens to me. My first try I was told in a condescending tone well if you want to do the work you might get better. My second attempt I was told on second visit we may never figure out whats wrong with you. This wasn't true and a extremely un professional thing to say. We need more DR like Like DR Leydon to be in practice. My wife refers to him as a unicorn and I agree. Thank you for being so professional. Please move to Colorado. LOL

My husband has had chronic severe pain for over a year without being able to find the cause. This year, we were finally able to discover what the source of his debilitating pain might be. Dr.Leydon claims to have told a near-by clinic that this matter is urgent, yet the "soonest" appointment he has gotten for us is 5 months out. There is NO reason my husband should have to suffer for 5 additional months if Dr.Leydon truly cared about my husbands urgent condition and needs. Steer clear of this doctor. He does not care for his patients.

Dr Leydon always take the time required to listen and understand your concerns and questions. He has never made me feel rushed or that I was using up too much of his time, despite the fact he was running behind. He was very knowledgeable and explained well the reasons for his recommendations and the next steps that should be taken

Dr. Leydon was my PCP while I had GHC insurance. I highly recommend him. He's attentive, and always took time in our visits, not just to explain things at an appropriate level of detail, but I also felt like he really listened to me, and took my thoughts seriously. If I could keep him as my PCP under my new HMO, I absolutely would, and I recommend him to any friends/coworkers who have GHC insurance.

Elliott P. – Dec 17, 2019

As a gay, middle-age man, Dr. Leydon's comfort and fluid conversation through the topics I wanted to talk about put me at ease. His use of "my" language when talking about sex made me immediately comfortable with him. And offering Prep (HIV pre-medication), while I don't require it, assured me that he was comfortable with all of my dimensions. As much as I worked well with my prior doctors and nurse practitioners and the health care was superb, none of them put me at ease like Dr. Leydon.
