When the appointment began, the doctor walked in, and so did 4-5 other medical assistants that seemed to be training (?)- nonetheless, the clinic nor the doctor asked if it was ok for that many people to be in the same room during the examination. Patient privacy shouldn't be something that you have to advocate for.

I had a good check up with Dr Leavens. She listened to all my concerns and helped me with some treatments on the spot. I wish I had longer or had the option to choose a longer time slot as 20 mins wasn’t enough. I will be back for my next appt soon!
May 26, 2023Neha S.Verified patient
I would just recommend not going here. It seemed like they were just trying to get people in and out. I didn’t get any answers. Just a recommendation for the cheapest face wash on the market.

Great staff and office! I arrived 30 mins early on my first visit and it was a good idea because there was paperwork to fill out (and a line formed behind me). Dr. Leavens was kind and made me feel like my concerns were heard and addressed.
