I had an awesome experience with Dr. Leard. She answered all my questions, took her time with me and my examination and was extremely thorough to ensure she answered and addressed all my questions and concerns. My experience from the time I scheduled this appointment to the time I checked in and met Dr. Leard was quick, efficient and easy. Dr. Leard is easy to speak to and I did not feel rushed through my appointment. I liked Dr. Leard so much that I have changed physicians to her for all my women's health issues. I cannot say enough positives about my experience but to say if you want quality care and a physician that truly listens to your needs, she is the physician for you.

Dr Leard was absolutely THE best doctor.New Moms were put at ease with her bedside manner. She meant so much that I have looked to be to rate her, though 16 years later. I know over the years her manners could never change.
