I was a bit afraid to go to the doctor since I don't do allopathic medicine but thought at 65, time to get a complete checkup on everything. The staff and Dr. Nilsa Leiva were so kind and had a great sense of humor and put me at ease immediately. She listens to you and honors you as a person. She was complimentary about my own knowledge about myself and said she always learns from her patients.

She’s really thorough. She did so much normal doctors just haven’t done for me before, like an EKG as a standard new client exam. She would’ve done bloodwork too, but I declined. She really wants to make sure everything is good!
