Dr. Leigh is very thorough and she treated me with great care. I am comfortable in her care. She definitely is a good fit for me and my daughter.
Verified patient
If you want a doctor who coddles you, Dr. Watlington probably isn't right for you. However, I really enjoy being her patient. She gets to the point and is willingly to answer all of your questions. She is clearly knowledgeable, and very thorough.

Dr. Watlington was very friendly and has a sense of humor. Very thorough and asked questions and very professional.
Verified patient
She was somewhat judgmental and not very willing to listen. Everything seemed disorganized and chaotic.
My visit was good, but when I had to check in at the front desk there was very bad customer service.
I was looking to discuss future planning more in depth and I did not feel like I could with her.
Horrible experience and will never ever go back there. First and last time at that office.
Besides having to go elsewhere to get Lab Work done, my overall visit was very good!
Verified patient
Dr. Watlington was very knowledgeable and helpful. The staff was very professional.
Dr. Leigh is very thorough and she treated me with great care. I am comfortable in her care. She definitely is a good fit for me and my daughter.
Verified patient
She was very judgmental and condescending. She spoke down to me and talked to me as if I were dumb. She told me I had no choice BUT to be on birth control and demanded I pick one during that visit (which was for a pap smear).
Verified patient
Very nice professional woman

I went to look at different options in birth control. Ms. Wallington pushed me in the direction of long term contraceptives because expressed to her that I was soon leaving 7 hours to college. It was perfect! Now I am months later in college with assurance that the decision that I made are positively reflecting on me.
Verified patient
Excellent and diligent attention to medical records and recommended appropriate testing and follow up visits. Very warm and friendly and wears a smile with her medical care
Verified patient

Really awesome. Her bedside manner of caring was amazing. I referrals I received advice, she was Frank and very honest. She even mentioned a few things about health I had no idea that would affect me.
Verified patient
I Really Love The Doctor She Was Very thorough All Her questions was right on point She Even Recommend me to See A Therapist for postmenopausal with my husband So I got a referral I was totally surprised And the dangerous side effects of the medication she would never put me one. So I would highly recommend her to All My family members and friends. But The Down Fall Is The area It was not great at all I had a very bad experience with construction work that Totally damage my car that is the downfall of the area And The Up Keep Of This City In Maryland I Just Move To Maryland And Didn't Really Want to drive 30 Mile Away From Upper Marlboro It Was so far but Her Patients reviews was extremely high And Her Education With Her degrees with five stars And that led me to make appointment with this GYN doctor. Not Sure If I would Stay Because of the area. But This Doctor Is Great.
