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.

Dismissive of your problems--Don't bother with him
I left my appointment with Dr. Leary in tears. One of the most dismissive doctor appointments I've been too. I was there to address an on-going issue and referred by my PCP. I paid an expensive co-pay to be told to eat yogurt. Absoultely no interest in helping me figure out the root cause of an issue. The appointment was done in 10 minutes after I waited FIVE WEEKS for this appointment. Retire.

Joesph Leary seemed to be on autopilot, hurried, and dismissive. A hearing test was a pre condition for a "consultation" I told the audiologist my ears were stopped up with fluid and that it affected my hearing, So, based on a specious, unreliable testing, he said that I should get a hearing aid and then left the room. No goodbye, or thanks for coming, you're just screwed! He left the room. He could have at least pointed me towards the exit. Gee, thanks! Find some other way to spend your hard earned money!!!

DR LEARY AND HIS P.A HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING! IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE I SAW THE P.A FIRST AND HE SAID THE DOCTOR MIGHT "POP IS HEAD IN FOR A SECOND" YES BECAUSE I AM PAYING MONEY FOR HIM TO SPEAK TO ME FOR A SECOND..WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID. THE DIDNT GIVE ME A PLAN OF CARE, NOR DID THEY TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT. THE FIRST AND ONLY THING THE P.A SAID WAS THAT I SHOULD GET SURGERY ON MY NOSE. I WILL NEVER GO TO ANOTHER ARC DR AGAIN ! WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.
