Gynecological Problem Visit

I was in sudden acute pain and I knew that an ER wouldn’t know what to do with me. Leah was excellent. She worked quickly through my sudden issue, did the appropriate tests, got a diagnosis and formulated a plan. We were able to solve my painful issue in a matter of hours. I was symptom free when I left the office and so grateful!! Cannot thank her enough. Also thank you to the great ultrasound department in house too!

Leah was very understanding, and took the time to listen to me! Very caring, as so was all the staff I came into contact with!

Gynecological Problem Visit

Leah had great bedside manner, didn’t seem rushed, explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable.

Office Visit / Follow-up

At every appointment, regardless of the problem, Leah ALWAYS does a thorough assessment of my issues. She asks questions about things that I didn't know could impact my health. She expresses so much knowledge of gynecology and is a great problem-solver. I feel unusually comfortable when we're discussing sensitive issues and that's vital because I need to tell her these things so that she can help! I feel comfortable returning to see her because I trust that we can work out something to help me feel better.

IUD Insertion / Removal

Leah and the team worked hard to provide me with a safe and cost effective IUD removal. I was very nervous but they did a wonderful job at ensuring I was safe!

Gynecological Problem Visit

My time with the provider was incredibly short and felt very rushed. There was little to no explanation provided for the treatments/procedures I was being prescribed and the entire visit was very overwhelming. I feel that the provider could have approached my appointment with a lot more patience and empathy.

OB Care

The visit felt rushed. When I tried to ask questions they were given topical answers, and when I tried asking the same question in a different way I was given the same exact topical answer, so eventually I stopped asking questions because it felt like I wasn’t being listened to. NIPT testing was mentioned in meeting notes but was not actually addressed during the visit itself. Attempted to follow up by phone and through the patient portal re: meeting notes and did not receive a response from NP until a week later, the response did not specifically address my question. In the meantime the nurses were able to answer my questions in more detail via the patient portal so this has been helpful.

Lab Work

Leah always listens carefully and prescribes the best treatments available.
