Dr. Leykina was very helpful and compassionate. I just moved to Staten Island and was on the search for a new endocrinologist to help with my PCOS. After she heard my concerns and did her assessment, she was able to come up with a medical plan. She made sure to thoroughly explain what I would need to do and what I should expect. She also made sure that all my questions were answered and was very reassuring. I am so thankful to have found her as my endocrinologist as I have seen some in the past that were no help at all. Dr. Leykina is very knowledgeable and has experience with patients that deal with PCOS so it was such a breath of fresh air to finally see a medical provider who actually cares for the well being of her patients and is able to provide a treatment plan. I look forward to my next appointment!

She’s absolutely lovely. I’ve never met a more beautiful compassionate healthcare worker in my life. She listened, she put together a game plan, she was sincere and straightforward. She is worth the wait to see.
