  I went in to get my back checked out again due to a spinal cord..., Dec 5, 2009

I went in to get my back checked out again due to a spinal cord injury many years ago. The doctor did not ask me repetitive questions which is a plus. He got right down to the point as to why I was there and did not do unnecessary work which saved costs for me. The nurses there were quick to get me in a room and have the doctor come right away. My doctor is one I would recommend to anyone. He always makes time for each of his patients and provides friendly, speedy service. Anyone seeking a fast-paced doctor should see him. It is the best place to go for a wonderful experience and one to fit your schedule.

  Stay away: she only cares about money not her patients. While i was pregnant she asked if i had any..., Mar 19, 2012

She only cares about what she gets. The last thing in her mind is her patients! She didn't come to my delivery. That's ok she was out. But I went to the hospital at 6 pm and nurses contacted her at around 6:30pm. She advised them to send me back home. My baby was born at 8:05pm. If i didn't insist on staying at the hospital i would probably have my baby on the way or at home:(
  Waited 2 hours......never saw her. If you value your time, go elsewhere...., Mar 15, 2012

I'm sure she is a fine doctor...if you ever get the chance to see her. Had an appt at 4 pm; the nurse called me that morning and said Dr. Pang wanted to know if I could come in earlier, at 3 pm. I got there at 3 pm with my 5 month old son....3:30...4:00..4:30...4:45...even at that point I figured she must be really behind. Finally at 4:55 pm I told them I was leaving. The clinic closes at 5 pm. The nurse asked if I could just wait 5 more minutes. No, I couldn't. I was already there for 2 hours. No excuses - even if there was some emergency or she forgot me or SOMETHING...someone should have told me. I would have understood. Worst experience I've ever had. She had the audacity to call my husband and ask why we left....WE WAITED FOR TWO HOURS. That's why. Unacceptable. There are tons of better pediatricians in Seattle - go elsewhere.
  Wonderful, caring and knowledgeable Physician! Great Staff...., Feb 25, 2012

Very caring and knowledgeable. Patients are treated with respect by very well trained staff. State-of-the-art treatment of retinal diseases based on the latest research and scientific breakthroughs. I would not go to any other specialist.
  Staff does not call to alert patients of problems. ..., Jan 19, 2012

After 5 years as a patient, I made one late payment. The payment was in excess of $100.00 despite my usual $40.00 co-pay. Maybe Dr Leon's staff didn't submit to Aetna. I paid anyway. Months later, they refused to renew a refill and told me that I needed to pay cash for appointments now. They never contacted me about this. Rather, they let me run out of medication and then refused to refill. I had to miss classes that day and find a new GI. My GP was nice enough to authorize enough medication over the phone (on good faith that my labs had been good lately, which they were) until the visit with my new GI. That was lucky, many GPs won't do that, and I am currently stuck with ASU's GPs. Dr Leon's actions were negligent and unethical. I am looking into what legalities this may violate, and will press charges. To this date, Dr Leon had shown himself to be a fine physician, but this incident is unforgivable. His staff had always been a little dodgy. One of his staff tole me she would talk to Dr Leon to see if he would use a little discretion in this instance. I doubt that she did.
  Narcissistic doctor won't release patients to see other doctors..., Jan 7, 2012

Reviews of the practice showed that another doctor there had a higher rating, so I wanted to see this other doctor. I was flat out told NO, I am not allowed to see any other doctor at the practice than Karen Bader because that was the first doctor I ever saw in the practice.
