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 think super highly of Dr Layhe and her staff Everyone is truly amazing!

The BEST
Dr. Leahy does a fantastic job. She listens, she is proactive, she is positive. My husband has MCI or dementia, and she has done everything possible to try and diagnose what kind of process he is in - I so appreciate her proactive approach. Our previous neurologist spent one and a half years and never ran a single test; Dr. Leahy has done MRIs, a CSF test, an fdg uptake test, a PET scan...she is thorough and is up to date on all the latest information, too. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
What went well
  • I felt respected
  • Listened & answered questions
  • Explained conditions well
  • Staff friendliness
  • Appointment wasn't rushed
  • Trusted the provider's decisions
