  My experience at the office for office based surgery..., Mar 10, 2011

It is great experince to have my veins treated at the office in 45 minutes and get back to work in few days without disability. I had full review and all studies done at one place. I was explained all about procedure to make my decision easier

  Dr. Lawrence McNally (visited for a cold)**********..., Mar 8, 2012

I visited Dr. McNally for a cold. His bedside manor was aloof, disengaged and unfeeling. I don't recommend this doctor to anyone. *******************************************************************************
  Dr Dan Sicking - Internal medicine and primary care..., Mar 6, 2012

Dr. Sicking is very laid back,understanding,spends time with you and never rushes. He is thorough and doesn't miss a thing. He has been my primary care physician for over 3 years and I can't say enough good things about him. His staff is always very nice and understands if you might be a little irritable or short with them, due to illness or injury. They are terrific. They do not OVER schedule, so you can almost always get in, the very day you call or the next day. Besides being a brilliant physician, he never talks down to you or treats you like you're a 2nd grader and that is appreciated immensely by me. He is one of the few physicians I have ever had, that explains things to you, the way it should be done. Having several serious medical issues, finding Dr. Sicking, was a godsend. I hate to think I may have to move 80 miles away, in a year or so, due to my job, but you can be sure, I'll make the trip, when needed, as I have no intention of changing doctors. He'd have to retire to get rid of me! :)
  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.
  This practice has very poor service no matter how you look at it...., Feb 8, 2012

Dealing with this practice is only about making money. Everything is oriented around getting you to come in frequently and doing tests. The staff is rude and I will not use nor recommend this practice.
  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.
