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.

Came in with pain in my chest. Treated like a drug seeker and was discharged before I even gave them my insurance card. Went to Barnes West. found out I had herniated a disk in my neck. Way to go go! my insurance company isnt covering my terrible visit and 5 seconds I spent with Dr. Leacock. He told me I need a CT scan, I replied, " Well, this is an emergency room?" His reply, "We dont do those here"

Dr. Leacock was kind, intelligent, and above all quite a stud-muffin. He provided me with excellent care. I felt listened to and heard. He caught problems others missed. He explained everything in a way I could easily understand. Highly recommend. Great beard.

I wish I could give him zero stars. Last year my son was bit by a dog. We went to St. Anthony's and we're put in the hands of this incompetent man. He GLUED my sons wound shut and sent us on our way saying antibiotics weren't necessary. Needless to say, we spent the next week at children's hospital and my son had to have multiple surgeries. He almost lost his eye, and the infection was close to his brain where it could have caused severe damage. Thankfully we got him there in time.

Dr. Leacock let me know of my diagnosis by standing in the doorway and shouting over the nurse. This was my second emergency room visit for the same condition (collapsed lung) in six months. I'm incredibly disappointed by the lack of care and compassion exhibited by Dr. Leacock and my nurse.
