My mom went to see Dr leegwater and only saw her once. At all her other appts she would see the nurse. I would recommend seeing another doctor because this one does not have the time to provide proper care to her patients. She is mostly focused on meeting her patients quota to get her paychecks.

Outstanding professional - caring but will not waste your time. Listens to all my questions and concerns yet never rushes. Will make time for me to see her if I need to between appointments. And she seems to always be up to date on what treatments, medicines and opportunities are currently available.

I went their for a second opinion on cervical dystonia. I had over 6 years worth of paperwork all very organized. I brought all my mri's etc. No physical exam she concentrated on Depression which I'm not on any. I used to be but not anymore. This was supposed to be a meet and greet. And she looked at me and said no you don't have dystonia. She couldn't tell me if I should continue botox or anything and didn't refer me to another doctor because she doesn't deal with pain. I only got 1 appointment with her and that's it. She said she couldn't help me and left me high and dry. I respect someone who can't help me and admits it but after 1 visit with no tests or reading my materials brought along with me. Very arrogant wasn't concerned about my health I had a resting heart rate of 150. I could of had a stroke or heart attack. she wasn't concerned about my vitals or even look at them. One of the worst doctors I have seen.

I have been a patient of Dr. Leegwater-Kim for three years and I think she's the best! She always listens carefully and gives thoughtful respnses. She takes time and I never feel as though I'm being rushed. Although I only see her every 6 months she remembers things we talked about months ago and follows up. I have every confidence in her knowledge and skills.
