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. Leiva is a great doctor, he cares for his patients and is very thorough. He takes time to listen to what I have to say and answers my questions. I would recommend his to all my family and friends.

They don't answer the phone
Wait times for everything, from being put on hold to make an appointment to sometimes up to an hour past appointment time to actually see anyone.

Good Doctor
I saw the Doctor and his Perscription for me was a med for my swollen feet. 1/2 way through the completion my feet were perfectly back to normal, yes ankles too! I am a Florida transplant, so I checked with my doctor back in Pennsylvania. He said "Yes, that is a good drug, it will take a little while but it will work". It did!

Only cares for money not PATIENTS
This is the practice of making money not health care. They told me they take my insurance- then 6 months later told me they don’t and sent me a huge bill. Will not even let me make an appointment until I pay them. The bedside manner is that of a horror movie. Doesn’t listen, doesn’t care, only spends 5 minutes with you till they are on to the next victim! Do not go to this practice- they need so much “practice “ they should have their medical license revoked for 100 years- then they would probably still suck

Great medical office – Jan 31, 2022

Went summer of 2020 concerned over fertility issues, went over blood work and asked for a referral for a fertility test told me no, that it is 99% of the time the woman's fault, then asked if my wife had a STD preventing her from pregnancy, told him no and he said she needs to get her test done first. Fast forward to her getting all her test done I request fertility testing again and he repeats same stance as before and I told him she finished her testing and in order for us to get fertility medicine I had to be tested, so he sends me to quest, I setup appointment and go to drop off, my labs aren't there, call Levia's office and they tell me they expire after 24hrs which I asked why I wasn't informed, so I setup a new appointment 3 days later, go in and quest once again doesn't have lab, call to have them send in and when they get order they informed me they do not do that testing. Doctor is very rude, uncaring, and has put additional stress on my wife and I during a difficult time.

Went in for an annual physical. In short, the doctor came across as lazy and unconcerned. Did not perform the expected process, and when returning for blood test results, was vague and unhelpful. Further, failed to refer other specialists that were requested, failed to provide an informed analysis of blood test results, and failed to return phone calls placed to the nurse. Waste of time and money!

I was looking for a Primary Care doctor but instead I found a doctor who could care less about my health. He never examined me when I told him I had pain on my left side, which could have been a cyst on my left kidney or the left side of the sacroiliac joint. He never moved from his seat. Finally, he told me I had too many problems and he couldn't be my doctor! He shouldn't be anyone's doctor. Giving him one star is more than he deserves.

I am new to the area and had an appointment on Friday for an initial visit with his wife. Unfortunately, I had a relapse of an ongoing urinary tact infection with a lot of pain on Monday morning. They had me come in and see Dr. Lloyd Leiva. I brought the lab results from my continuing infection and told him which 3 antibiotics I had taken that had not cleared the infection. He insisted on a complete physical which was appropriate. The urinalysis in the office confirmed the infection and he gave me an antibiotic from the same family that I had taken twice unsuccessfully since the last week in August. The antibiotic did not work and I was in continued pain from the infection. I called twice on Thursday and twice on Friday begging for the results of the culture and asking for a different antibiotic. I last called at 3:45pm on Friday, stated the time and said that they would be leaving for the weekend so please call and change my antibiotic. I never got a response.

Extremely disappointed with this doctor. My elderly family member had to wait 3 weeks to get bladder infection testing and treatment ordered. Now waiting for him to sign orders for diabetic supplies sent to his office 2-28-2020. There have been other similar situations to this months prior to the Covid virus. Proceed with great caution or be a STRONG advocate for your self or person you are caring for.

I have been going to Dr. Lloyd Leiva for about 20 years. Since he opened his new practice across the street from healthcare America, wait times can be as much as an hour or more. My last two appointments I waited one hour before I walked out. My last appointment, and probably my last, is when the office manager looked at me and rolled her fists in her eyes as if to mimic a crying baby. I like Dr. Lloyd as a doctor but feel his practice is no longer within my tolerances.

During my last year with Dr Leiva I found to be very informative and helpful in maintaining my state of health and well being. He was very thorough in answering all of my questions and getting after me on some of my bad habits and why I need to make better choices . I would recommend anyone that asks me on his professionalism that he is one of the best I have ever had.
