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.

Compassionate professional visit. Dr. Leong took time to answer all my questions before and after my successful surgery. Thank you so much, Dr. Leong! I appreciate so much what you did for me.

Skilled Surgeon
I’ve known Dr. Leong for several years, and visited two or three times concerning my shoulders. Going to need rotator cuff tear surgery this time; he’s done many, many of these surgeries vey successfully over the years and I have full confidence in him performing mine. He is such a wonderful, calming, responsive doctor and so pleasant to talk with. I know Dr. Leong and his team will be here for me all the way. Absolutely recommend!

My go to Ortho surgery team!
Dr Leong has performed two shoulder surgeries for me, and he’s outstanding. His Way appointments are on-time, educational and personal. He takes the time to answer all questions. His staff is equally outstanding, courteous and informed. FMLA paperwork was handled expeditiously. Surgery day was explained fully and before going into surgery, Dr. Leong and the surgery team prayed over us. This meant the most to me. He asked if he could pray before I even had a chance to ask him to pray. Hopefully done with shoulders but if I need an Ortho Dr he will my first choice.

Dr Leong surgery for meniscus tear
I had surgery on my right knee for a meniscus tear back in 2016. It was a huge success. Recently, my left knee started showing the same symptoms and was diagnosed as a torn meniscus also. Dr Leong did the surgery on 12/14/2022 and that one was also a huge success. Dr Leongs office is very efficient from check in to check out always courteous and professional. The wait times are never long. Dr Leong and his PA Jessica are very attentive and were able to answer all my questions about the procedure. If I need any surgery in the future, and it's in Dr Leong's wheelhouse, he is going to be the man to do it !

Amazing Doctor
Dr. Leong is one of the nicest doctors I've met in a long time. He's professional and thorough but not "stuffy". To top it off he's a Christian and he'll pay with and for you. I haven't had any procedures with him yet but I know I'll be in great hands when I do!!

Would highly recommend Dr. Leong for knee replacement. Had my knee replaced on June 2nd and am more than pleased with results. I was most impressed with Dr. Leong when he came in before I went to surgery and asked if we could pray. I knew then I had nothing to worry about.

I have been going to Dr Leong for about 8 years now. He is awesome! Recently had total knee replacement and I wouldn’t even think of anyone else doing my surgery. He and his staff are very caring, patient and helpful. Definitely the Doctor I would recommend for any Orthopedic needs!

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery, May 2021. Procedure was exactly as he described, He was attentive and thorough in his explanations. Very short waiting, once we arrived at the surgery center. His bedside manner before surgery was very soothing, and he shows that he really cares about his patients. Only required 4 stitches to close. Stitches removed in a week. Minimal pain, and a short recovery period; six weeks later, zero pain. Would highly recommend for orthopedic surgery.

I have always enjoyed walking and exercising and working in my yard but my bad knees made all these activities painful and restrictive. Dr. Leong and his staff replaced both of my knees and I feel liberated. I can enjoy all these activities again. I appreciate their professionalism and kindness and friendship.

Dr. LEONG did my elbow surgery in Jan.2019. He is the most pleasant and best surgeon I know! I had a ganglion cyst in elbow with torn ligament and tendon. He took out the cyst and repaired the torn ligament and tendon.I just finished therapy and doing great!.. He also did my grandsons ACL repairs in both his knees from basketball injuries. He has done great also!! So all I can end with is ... HE IS THE BEST!!!

Had to have shoulder surgery in June. Working at SRHS I was recommended to Dr Leong. He explained the surgery and answered all my questions, as this was more complicated surgery due to multiple tears, bursitis and arthritis. Two bones were also involved. I healed without complications. His RN was prompt returning calls and the PA was extremely helpful.
