December 09, 2025
The dr. Is very friendly and caring, and the best doctor.
December 09, 2025
Dr.Leong walked into my exam room and immediately started rattling off her plan of care for me based on 1 thing I told her nurse. I had a list of questions and concerns I wanted to address with her during my scheduled time. Dr. Leong barely let me speak, didn't ask me any questions about my chief complaint and prescribed me a medication without knowing any details on my issue. At the end of my appointment she asked me to get dressed and step outside where she proceeded to talk about my private medical info outside of an exam room. When I asked a clarifying question she even stated she had to do something this certain way because she is "too busy". I understand she is a very busy doctor but to make a patient feel not heard, and walk out of an appointment more confused than anything is very unprofessional. I am very disappointed in the experience I had and I will not be seeing Dr.Leong in the future.
December 08, 2025
She gave good recommendations that were helpful and informative.
December 08, 2025

The doctor was greatly sympathetic to my concerns and explain everything in Layman's terms. She has amazing bedside manners, and I would definitely recommend her.
December 03, 2025
Dr. Joy Leong is truly amazing. She really listens and takes the time to understand everything you're going through. She pays close attention to every detail and explains things clearly so you always know what's going on. I've never felt rushed or unheard with her. She's compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients. I'm so grateful to have her as my doctor she's absolutely awesome!!!
December 02, 2025
Dr. Leong is the best! I've been going to her for at least 25 years. She listens to you, explains things and is one of the most pleasant doctors I have.
December 02, 2025
Alright.
December 02, 2025
It's always a pleasure seeing Dr Leong.
November 26, 2025
My experience with Dr. was amazing! She came highly recommended and I will always continue to go to her.
November 24, 2025
Dr. Leong is very thorough, explains everything so that you can understand her. And any questions that I had, she answered them thoroughly. We should have more doctors like her when we go for a women's checkup.
November 24, 2025
The doctor was very respectful and considerate of my feelings, and she made me feel very comfortable, didn't make me feel ashamed or anything. She was very, she's very good at what she does, and I highly recommend her to anybody that would listen to me. And I thank her for her service, and she's got a very nice personality, and she's very sweet. And I'm definitely going to go back to her if I have a problem. Thank you.
November 24, 2025
Getting to the office on time yet having to wait an hour to be seen is very inconvenient. I had many questions to ask however, I had to forgo those questions since I had to leave.
November 13, 2025
Dr Leong is such a nice lady and very quick and knowledgeable. She listens and gives fast answers and recommendations.
November 13, 2025

November 10, 2025
Love dr leong.
November 04, 2025
This was my first time meeting the doctor and she was very informative. She did answer all my questions, but I felt that the appointment was rushed. Also when she came in, she just came in just with my main concerns, talking about my main concerns, but didn't really ask me too many questions. And she was mostly talking as opposed to me. And right at the end, she was kind of rushing out and I had to stop her and ask, hey, you know, there's a couple of questions I wrote down. Can we talk about it? And so she did, but it still felt very rushed. So that was, it just kind of felt like, you know, everything was just kind of, not dismissed, but just kind of ran through. And I mean, I know they have a lot of patients, but I don't really go to the doctor much. So I ?
November 04, 2025
I have had Dr. Leong as my doctor for quite a few years and really like her. I feel a good patient/doctor relationship.
November 03, 2025
Dr. Leong made me feel comfortable and important. She knew what I wanted before I even spoke up. I loved it. I'm glad I found a great doctor.
October 29, 2025
I believe the front desk didn't check me in properly and waited nearly 45 min to be seen. When I got called back the nurse was surprised I got there early and hadn't been seen. The doctor and nurse were great. The front desk staff was nice, just not sure why I wasn't called back until I said something.
October 27, 2025
Dr. Leong is always so pleasant and informative.
October 24, 2025
It was a very pleasant experience dealing with the office staff. And Dr. Leong, I hadn't seen her in 10 years, and she still is very caring and very informative.
October 23, 2025
Joy was awesome. I had a pretty hard month, so I was kind of all over the place when I went in. She made me feel comfortable, safe. We spoke, she made me laugh, she gave me good advice, and I feel like she really, really listened to what I had to say. Love her already. Thank you.
October 23, 2025
Great appointment. She gets it!
October 21, 2025
Dr. Leong was very nice and professional, considerate and caring. She had really good bedside manner and she's proactive, so I really appreciate that. And then all of the staff was excellent. They're all very nice and professional and I really like that. I would definitely recommend PIH to my friends and family. I would even work there because everyone was so nice and professional and you don't get that at all medical facilities with everyone with the whole staff. So I am always impressed and pleased to go to my doctor appointments with PIH. Thank you so much.
October 21, 2025
Dr. Leong is not my regular gynecologist. I was a bit concerned with my health issue but she was so kind and put me at ease right away by her caring bed side manner. She listened and gave good advice for follow up care. I so appreciated her and now know that I have 2 doctors I can see and feel comfortable in this office.
October 21, 2025
The doctor's care was incredibly professional and attentive, exceeding my expectations. The staff who helped you take the samples and locate the room were also excellent. What I'm not happy about is the reception staff who receive the paperwork. The staff who initially greet you are unfriendly, inattentive, and have unfriendly faces. I understand that human beings have difficult times, but since this is the first impression upon arrival, they should be more attentive or a little more helpful.
October 17, 2025
I arrived to my appointment 15 mins early. Was not called until 30 mins later. Waited inside the exam room and waited.. and waited... and waited. Finally decided to change and come out and leave because this provider is now 45 mins late and I had to leave to attend my child's event. On my way out, while looking for the exit door, saw the provider in the hallway on her laptop. This appointment was made months ago, and was looking forward to see this provider. This experience was truly disappointing and sad.
October 16, 2025
Dr.Leong was amazing! Provided me with all the knowledge I needed.
October 03, 2025
Dr. Leong is always prepared with test results and shares information with clarity. She is always knowledgeable of patients history before entering the exam room. Dr. Leong's calm demeanor and friendly personality always makes visits welcoming.
September 30, 2025
Although the wait time was very long, it was worth it. When I finally did get to see Dr. Joy Leong, she answered all my questions and she's very thorough and very warm and easy to talk to. She's an excellent doctor and I would recommend her to all my family and friends. Thank you.
September 30, 2025
Dr Leong has always explained my needs and more some! I'm very grateful for having her in my health care!
September 24, 2025
The bedside manner of the medical assistant wasn't the best experience. Seemed annoyed to be there and wasn't the friendlist. Usually, I get greeted, which I think is the minimum in any profession. The office staff and the doctor were great.
September 24, 2025
After numerous Er visits. Primary doctor appointments. Testing etc. We were referred to the woman's center. Dr. Leong made my 16 year old daughter feel so comfortable. We walked out of the appointment and my daughter stated "finally a doctor that listened to me and wanted to help me".
September 19, 2025
I felt the doctor came into my care promptly and provide me with media attention and I trust her with my care and she was wonderful.
September 16, 2025
Dr. Leong is professional and always listens to your concerns! Would recommend her to everyone.
August 29, 2025
The staff was very professional and friendly from check in to exit. (name removed) welcomed me and made me feel at ease at check in. I forgot the MA's name that prepared me for the pap, but she was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was training a 1st year nursing student. They were both reassuring and answered some of my questions. Dr Leong was awesome. My wellness check was swift and painless. She took her time to explain. The ladies at checkout were the icing on the cake. Thank you for a positive experience that encourages and removes the fear. I'll see them next year.
August 29, 2025
She always takes the time to explain things for a patients level of understanding.

August 25, 2025
The doctor is extremely professional. She's very pretty and explains things very well. I've been going to her for many years, and of course I recommend her. I recommend her whenever I can. Thank you very much.
August 25, 2025
Dr. Leong is absolutely the most caring doctor, she is the best GYN I have ever had.
August 25, 2025
This experience was night and day compared to my last OB! The staff was so friendly and Dr. Leong was absolutely amazing. I felt like I was heard after years of not being listened to by my previous OB. She took the time to explain to process of my surgery and just really made me feel at peace. I'm so thankful to have found her!
August 06, 2025
Dr. Joy Leong and her staff were excellent with my care.

July 11, 2025
Dr. Leong is very warm and professional. I'm so glad she is my doctor. I feel heard and taken care of. I've only had positive experiences with her and I've been seeing her for over 15 years.
July 07, 2025
The staff that took me to the room needs to be more pleasant with patients. Nice but my first impression was that she's not too pleasant.
July 07, 2025
The lady who took my vitals prior to the doctor coming in wasn't very pleasant / friendly or approachable. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I missed the friendliness
June 20, 2025
Dr. Joy Leong is the best doctor at PIH!
June 19, 2025
Only thing that was frustrating was scheduling process. In November 24, I knew I needed an appointment in June 25 but I was told to call to schedule in March. When I did, I was told schedule was not released and to call back in April. I had to call each week in April till finally I was able to schedule in the first week of May.

May 22, 2025
I've never had a bad experience before in the 10 years I've been a patient but this time around I felt like they were focused on celebrating a birthday instead of listening. It also took over an hour to be seen just to have a five minute visit. Could have just been a bad day but I left un happy and that's a first
May 21, 2025
Dr Leong is a very pleasant doctor; she reminded me of the things I should be careful of as a senior.
May 21, 2025
Dr. Joy Leong is an excellent gynecologist, worth the commute to see her.
May 15, 2025
Front desk staff (name removed) is very nice but needs more training with check in process. Needs to be more aware of confirming insurance card and ID info with patients to ensure accuracy

Scheduling appointment is not as easy as it used to be.
April 14, 2025
The nurses and everyone in the offices for Joy Leong have always been very helpful, answered any questions, and have always sent out reminders in a timely manner. They have always been very kind and courteous when checking in or if needed to provide any feedback. They all are able to answer questions, and Joy has always been just very helpful and explains everything thoroughly and is very appreciated.

April 10, 2025
I come from Culver City just to see Dr. Leong because she is an excellent physician who demonstrate both care and compassion and is extremely knowledgeable in her practice area.
April 07, 2025
Dr Joy was in a hurry I was only able to ask her a couple of questions I had other questions to ask her before she walked out.
March 28, 2025
Dr. Leong is a wonderful doctor, I have been going to her for many years. Her staff was very inviting and respectful. They answered all my questions with joy and a smile. The La Mirada location is much easier to visit without having to pay for parking.
March 26, 2025
Some of the staff, excluding Dr Joy were not friendly or welcoming. Dr. Joy is an excellent Dr. She explained everything very carefully and listened to my questions.
March 25, 2025
I was impressed that Dr. Leong had taken the time to read through the medical notes regarding my first baby's delivery prior to our first appointment for my second pregnancy. It was evident through our conversation that she was very familiar with the details even though a different doctor had attended the delivery.
March 24, 2025
Dr Leong explained why I need the medication and gave additional information on how to take care of myself. You can feel that she is really concerned about the health of her patients.
March 19, 2025
She has a wonderful beside manner. Is very patient and kind. Explains procedures very clearly. I have a d will continue to refer her to all. We need more doctors like her. Thank you very much.
March 13, 2025
Great Doctor
March 12, 2025
I am an individual that once I say no to vaccinations, I would like to have my choice respected. I am OK with learning about vaccines but not OK with being pushed to it.
March 12, 2025
The wait was longer. Then my visit with the Dr. Scheduling an appointment was also disappointing. Had to wait 4 week. Maybe we need more Dr's at PIH.
March 07, 2025
Dr. Joy Leong and her entire staff, are all very competitive, friendly, and go above and beyond, for the patients. I couldn't be happier!
March 07, 2025
Very nice doctor, would definitely recommend. Thank you.
March 07, 2025
Yes, I was pleased on my office visit with Dr. Leong. Thank you.
March 06, 2025
Hi. The like getting into the doctor's office was easy. It felt like I sat in the room waiting for the doctor for a little while, but then as soon as she walked in, she was super kind and friendly and was very personable. And I really honestly like the fact that I had to wait was negated by the fact that she was so nice and explained what she was going to be doing, the procedure she was performing. She also was like, since you haven't been here for a while, we're going to do these extra things just to make sure that you're all set to go. And I really appreciated her demeanor and how clearly she explained everything. I definitely would go back to her and I would recommend her as a doctor to any of my friends. I very much appreciated my experience.
March 05, 2025
Dr. Leong is amazing.
