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.

Detail- Oriented
Dr. Leo has treated my husband's condition for several years and as detailed and thorough today as he was upon initially establishing care. His teaching style and communication is greatly appreciated in better understanding the disease progression. His unhurried manner during the office visit makes the visit feel purposeful and worth the time spent. He is a true gem!

His staff is well trained and caring Even while waiting in the treatment room you can learn lots of scientifically sound information about gastrointestinal problems and best practices for treatment ( in lay terms ).

Best Gastro Dr. anywhere!
Dr. Leo has been my Gastroenterologist for 25+ years now. After 12 years of continuous nausea, my Internal Medicine Dr just gave up. I finally asked Dr. Leo if he could help. With 2 tests he had a diagnosis. That was 2 years ago. I have been nausea free since then. He listens and gets to the root cause. And he is one of the brightest individuals I have ever met. I trust him completely and I honestly look forward to seeing him! I hope he doesn’t retire any time soon.

Dr. Leo has my full confidence.
Dr. Leo had been caring for me, and for my family, for many years now. He was always very attentive and informative, not hesitant to spend extra time to investigate a subject matter to help his patients make more informed decisions. I highly recommend using Dr. Leo’s services at Gastroenterology and Associates.

Dr. Leo is very knowledgeable. He goes to the “inth” degree explaining all that he has said, for which, I am so grateful. Never gives the impression that he’s rushing you. I have, in the past, already recommended him to many family and friends.
