Dr. Leonard was very helpful in evaluating my symptoms. This was a referral from my orthopedic surgeon to review what has already been done and to get an additional evaluation and opinion. Dr. Leonard was very honest about her further evaluation of my condition and recommended and confirmed that no additional treatment was necessary, unless I started having pain and other symptoms. Dr. Leonard and her staff were very friendly and professional!!
