Saw Dr Leo for some stomach, side pain and trouble swallowing! I have a history of Hiatal Hernia from previous scope by diff doctor! Last scope was in 2012! After listening and talking with Dr Leo we decided to do another scope to check the hernia for any possible changes and to take look at my esophagus as well! Procedure went well just little gastritis and he did stretch my esophagus! Dr Leo is very personable and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking out a gastroenterologist!

I gave four stars because dr Leo’s staff before seeing him was less than polite. Having my blood pressure taken and temp seemed to really annoy the nurse. Dr Leo however is kind and very engaged in your appointment. He never made me feel rushed or to be a problem! Highly recommended!!!
