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.

She is the 2n most compassionate Dr I have ever been too in my 69 years. She took care of my whole being and referred me to the appropriate Dr. When it came to seeing a specialist. Thanks, Dr. Leah

She's dismissive, short, didnt listen to patients, doesn't pay attention to them, just wants to tell the patient they are fine and to get them back out the door. Very poor attitude and manners. Doesn't do her job. During the exam she wanted to cause pain and continued pushing on the most painful spot repeatedly despite the patient crying from the pain she was causing until the patient had been screaming for a minute or so.

I have been looking for years for an excellent primary care physician! I have finally found one! Dr Lea is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and sincerely listens to her patients. I can tell she genuinely has my best interest at heart.

She's dismissive. She is short. She doesn't listen to your concern (ESPECIALLY if you're a woman and not unless you have good health insurance).
