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.

Spent the time to explain things, offered different solutions to my needs. My surgery outcome was exceptional.

Dr. Leonardo has been my neurologist for 2 years. I have complete confidence in her evaluations of my MRI's. She's attentive to your questions and gives you plenty of time with office visits.

5 years later..
So 5 years ago I had surgery for a third ventricle arachnoid cyst. Dr Leanardo and her staff could not have been more professional. 5 years later I'm still doing fine and have enjoyed so many things that I never would have had the opportunity to without her expertise. Really cannot speak highly enough about her and her team. Thank You again...

Excellent Doctor - highly recommend
I'm not sure how someone gave her a 1 star because her and her staff have went out of their way to help my mother with her brain issues. She spends an amazing amount of time in the office and at bedside. I would never go to anyone else. She is professional and pleasant. Their response time is amazing and I highly recommend. We have been dealing with her for about 5-10 years now.

She is extremely intelligent with a fantastic bed side manner, She takes her time with her patients. She is the only doctor that diagnosed and fixed with surgery my mom BPH. Thanks to her, my mom is walking and dancing again. Love her!

Very arrogant and unprofessional. Cost me a year of my life because of her pride and misjudgement. She spoke to me like you would NOT believe . Told me it wasn't her job to give me my life back . Told me she wasn't going to operate on my back . Was offended because i git pushed into her office on a stretcher and was able to get off of it when asked . I could go on and on. Stay away from this mean mean person . She couldn't even come to see me after she found out I had a SPINAL INFECTION .

Excellent rapport with my husband and I. Took time to explain my condition and plan of care. We did not feel hurried or intimidated at all. I feel very fortunate to have her for my care and trust she will do what is best for me.
