Patient Reviews

I have been a patient of Dr. Leong's for many years, and in the past 20 years, she has always made me feel comfortable and listened to my concerns when I go to these appointments. I appreciate it. Thank you.

June 17, 2026
This was my first visit to see Dr. Joy Leong. I had an excellent experience. She was a good listener. The staff was exceptionally great and I was well informed of my situation and I understood the plan to treat my concerns that I have right now with my health. So yes, I would give her a 10 out of 10. Thank you.
June 17, 2026
excellent doctor, very concerned about what I had to say.
June 15, 2026
I have been a patient of Dr. Leong's for more than 20 years. She has been a consistently caring, thorough and proactive professional. I have greatly appreciated being in her care for all of these years. I have been meaning to switch to St. Jude for some time and have remained with PIH primarily to continue to see Dr. Leong and for my son to be cared for my Dr. (name removed). These are some PIH healthcare superstars, in my opinion. I have sadly not been able to find or settle with a primary care doctor here that I feel provides me with the same level of care and will move to St. Jude for that purpose only, to try much luck there.

February 20, 2026
I would have liked it if I was asked for consent to have a midwife student there during my visit and exam. I would have liked it liked to be told the tissue was sent to pathology and why it was being sent. Otherwise, the staff and provider were really thorough and printed a picture of the ultrasound as I asked for it. Thank you for your help.

February 11, 2026
Of all the doctors offices I've been to at PIH this one by FAR is the best. From actually being able to through on the phone, get an appointment, to the friendly office staff, 10 out of 10!! I am seriously considering going to Providence(I actually did for a dermatologist since they tell you they aren't taking appointment until 8 months out so call back. So when you call back they tell you the same thing!! Or go to a doctor in Cerritos, who's not part of PIH!!! Pretty much the same with primary doctor.When I called Providence I was able to get an appointment in less than two weeks, as a new patient!! You guys really need to fix this MAJOR problem because everyone I talk to that goes to PIH has the same issues!!!! But Dr. Leongs office was a total difference. All offices need to take a look at what they are doing to make it work!
February 09, 2026

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
Great Dr and with a lot of experience and professionalism.
December 05, 2025

December 03, 2025
Dr. Joy Leong is truly amazing. She really listens and takes the time to understand everything you're going through.

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.

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
Dr. Leong is delightful! She's very calm, professional and pleasant to meet with. I feel totally relaxed with her and feel very confident that she fully understands my issue and explains everything and guides me very well.
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.

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!
