Great treatment but long waits
Todays healthcare isn’t your mother’s healthcare. Between typing and talking rare is it to find a physician who looks at you while they’re speaking. Dr. Leipzig not only looked at me as she asked questions and wrote down my responses, she was personal, professional and made me feel completely at ease. She spent well over an hour with me as a new patient and I didn’t have to wait 4 months to see her. Please go see this physician for your OBGYN needs. She’s not only a good doctor, she’s also a kind person.
Impressed with Dr. Leipzig’s knowledge and kindness.
Dr. Leipzig was very caring, nurturing, and validating.
She provided me full and professional explanation I felt understood and supported
The office feels clean and safe, the staff were all lovely and helpful, and Dr. Leipzig might be the most thorough practitioner I have ever seen. She spoke clearly and explained things well, or repeated readily anything I missed. She clarified issues and provided options and alternatives without being pushy. Very encouraging experience.
Excellent Doctor, very through and understanding.
Excellent

Dr. Leipzig, was professional and caring. She was willing to answer all my questions, took her time. I didn’t feel like she was rushing from exam room to exam room. Provided her undivided attention.
Dr. Leipzig is highly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, listens well, all around makes it easy to see a doctor!
Waiting time is too long , everything else is great.
