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.

I have had high prolactin levels for years, and recently have not been treating it because several endocrinologists that I have been to dismissed me and made me feel like a fool. Dr. Leykina is the best - she listens to me, is very knowledgeable, and takes her time explaining everything. I'm happy to say that with Dr. Leykina, my bloodwork has been improving and I am finally starting to feel normal again. I can't recommend her enough!

I like her. I'm comfortable with her but I do tend to ramble when I'm a little nervous but I think she gets a kick out of me. Lol! Writes nice and understands very well in all aspects

Dr. Leykina is thoughtful and thorough. She takes the time to get to know you and your health situation. I always feel that she's present in my appointment, and she takes the time to go over all your questions and concerns. I never leave Dr. Leykina feeling that I was rushed and had more I needed to discuss. She provides ample follow-up in between appointments. With Dr. Leykina, I feel like I have a health plan and not just a doctor I see once a year who can't remember anything about me.

Dr. Leykina is attentive, kind and very intelligent. She has great knowledge on her speciality. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and Papillary Thyroid Cancer while under the care of Dr. Leykina. She walked me through my whole diagnosis, explained my prognosis and made sure she saw me frequently to keep on top of all of my hormones. AND she returns your phone calls! If you want a doctor who will show compassion while explaining everything to you, you will not go wrong with Dr. Leykina!

It was my first visit. I waited maybe 5 minutes for her to come into the room. I had my last three blood works from my other doctor that she can look over. She asked me many questions and she was all ears when I told her why I was changing doctors and my concerns. She took blood again and we made another appt. to see her in three months but asked me to go for another blood test before coming into seeing her. The Staff was very nice. Office was very clean. I would definitely recommend.

I was not impressed with her.She was not very attentive to me or my condition.She did not spend much time with me at all nor did she ask many questions being it was my first visit. She said they would take my blood to see what my thyroid levels were and that they would call me once they get the results and let me know if they had to change my medication.Well, I waited 8 days and all I got was a phone call with a recorded message from the drug store, changing the dose with not explanation from dr
