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.

First visit at this office today and what a wonderful doctor and staff. Very professional office that has everything streamlined very well.

Dr. Leach is a proficient physician but he often wishes to play it safe and doesn't like to color outside the lines. But he's steady and careful. However, if you have endometriosis or something that requires a bit more scope, he'll refer you elsewhere. For pap tests, birth control recommendations and pregnancies, he's just fine.

On my second visit, he didn't even look me in the eye, he walked in, took Pap smear and was walking away, I asked if we can have a quick chat about menopause and he said I can find all those info online and he walked away. He was impersonal, rude and only spent 3 minutes in the room with me. I didn't return to his practice.

Don't go to this guy! Not only did he botch our c-section, when we asked to be compensated for the out of pocket expenses to fix his botch, we never even got a courtesy of a reply. We are out thousands of dollars due to his ineptitude! You let us down "Doctor" Leach....his OB partner, "Dr." Gipps, is even worse...mothers beware...run, don't walk from this practice!!
