Todays healthcare isn’t your mother’s healthcare. Between typing and talking rare is it to find a physician who looks at you while they’re speaking. Dr. Leipzig not only looked at me as she asked questions and wrote down my responShow moreses, she was personal, professional and made me feel completely at ease. She spent well over an hour with me as a new patient and I didn’t have to wait 4 months to see her. Please go see this physician for your OBGYN needs. She’s not only a good doctor, she’s also a kind person.
The office feels clean and safe, the staff were all lovely and helpful, and Dr. Leipzig might be the most thorough practitioner I have ever seen.

Reviews
I am so grateful to become a patient of Dr. Leipzig. Her respectful, comprehensive, and compassionate approach established my trust immediately. She is genuinely concerned about my well-being and was notably generous with her time and medical advice.
Dr. Leipzig is one of the most caring and knowledgeable doctors I have ever seen. She’s very obviously invested in giving her patients the best care from the start of the appointment until the end. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends.
Great treatment but long waits
