Office Visit / Follow-up

The receptionist was very polite while checking me in and made it a fast and easy check in. I saw Leah Alfino for my appointment and she has always made my experience going to the office a great one. She is very helpful and cares so much about the patients she sees.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr. Alfino took her time with me and answered all my questions. She was very personable and pleasant!

Blood Draw

The provider, Leaf Alfino, listened to my concerns and issued the necessary tests. She was very quick to send me a note via my online chart to update me on the results since I will not return until after the holidays.

Lab Work

Leah was the best, kind, friendly, professional.

IUD Insertion / Removal

Leah is so kind and patient!

OB Care

I asked to have notes from a previous appointment removed, that I was bothered with the wording and the fact it was not discussed with me in person. I was then told I was obese prior to becoming pregnant even though I had lost well over 60 pounds at that point. That this needed to be in the notes. Then told my BMI states otherwise and that I’m obese now and high risk because I’ve gained weight during this pregnancy. When I’m actually high risk because of a bicornuate uterus. Also was told that now I have incentive to lose weight after I have my baby. I did not appreciate being spoken to this way and I don’t believe this is the way you address a concern with an already insecure mindset from being pregnant and obviously gaining weight. When asked if I wanted the TDAP shot I said I’d prefer not to because I’m already high risk and don’t want to add anything else into the mix. I was then asked “why are you high risk? Because of being obese?” When clearly in my chart it states the medical reason for why I am in fact a high risk this pregnancy.

Gynecological Problem Visit

Thought I could have had the ultra sound done the same day so wouldn’t have to come back so many times

OB Care

Leah took time to hear my concerns and answered all my questions.

Office Visit / Follow-up

All the office staff are very friendly. The patient portal makes things very efficient-it's easy to get quick answers to my questions. Leah looks very professional-I trust her opinion about sensitive topics we need to discuss. She uses medical/factual terms when we're discussing things-I appreciate this because I am very shy. She offers multiple suggestions for how to address my problems, which helps me feel hopeful (since previous treatments haven't solved my problems). I felt completely "at ease" when talking to her. I completely trust that she is going to help resolve my current problems. My husband was also present and he felt the same way when we left the appointment.
