  • Sep 10, 2024

    Did not help at all. Very dismissive and judgmental. Going to find new primary care doctor.

  • Sep 5, 2024

    I was very happy and grateful Dr. Leuschen was able to fit me in today. Not only was she very thorough and understanding; but, having had the same issue herself, she offered lots of good suggestions and was, as always, very understanding.

  • Sep 1, 2024

    Wonderful doctor. She goes the extra mile and follows up with patients and with referrals for excellent medical specialists.
