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.

Great Doctor
Dr. Leao is easy to talk to and full of information that she readily shares in response to your questions. She listens very well.

Terrible Experience!!!
Without going thru more details but I will NEVER go back to her!! It was the worst experience ever. No communication at all which is the least thing a ' doctor ' should do with his patients. Specially when it is about a sensitive subject.

Kind and Understanding
I felt welcomed and cared for as a new patient. I was apprehensive since I hadn't been in years to a doctor but had to go since I was experiencing a few problems. All my worries were for nothing because everyone was nice and understanding. I felt like my pain was also acknowledged instead of being brushed off and i greatly appreciate that!

Very Helpful
I’ve always had a very pleasant experience whenever I meet with Dr. Leao. I’ve been seeing her for a few years and went in for a wellness visit recently. She’s very thorough, inviting, and makes me feel as if my issues are important. She always has suggestions to address problems moving forward. A great and satisfying experience, if a gynecologist visit can be described as such. I would definitely recommend her as an excellent gynecologist.

Best Experience Ever
This was the first time I had an annual GYN exam and didn't even feel a pinch. That was marvelous for me. Plus, Dr. Leao listens to me and offers suggestions to help me and takes her time with me. And I feel so comfortable talking with her, you'd think I was talking with one of my girlfriends. She's knowledgeable and answers all my questions concerning female health. My wait time is about 5 minutes. I get seen right away. The staff is very friendly. You won't go wrong with her.
