Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Leonard takes the time to explain and educate you about the issues. He is patient and very thorough. He did a complicated surgery on my sinuses and I had excellent results.

Dr. Leonard was great! I was very glad I decided to go to see him. I was so scared about getting the scope done, but he was so comforting and I didn't feel anxious. Thank God I decided to just go ahead and get the test done. I have peace of mind now. I highly recommend this place. The staff is so friendly.

I had a problem breathing on one side of my nose for almost 10 months. My family doctor did what you could and then told me I needed to see a ENT. I'm glad his office set up an appointment with Dr. Leonard. The day I went to see Dr. Leonard he told me what he saw and what needed to be done and also sent me for test to make sure. With-in a month I had surgery and now I can breath! Thank you to Dr. Leonard and Staff, from the front desk to the back office, Chesapeake and Va. Beach offices.

Dr. Leonard, made me feel like he really knew his business. I have been suffering for sinuses for such a long time and I have been tested and treated for many years, however Dr. Leonard put a scope down my nose and knew what was my issue. I pray blessings to the man. I am so glad I went to see him.
