Dr Leon is an extremely bright, talented and skilled physician who also has excellent communication skills. I can't imagine what else you could ask for. She has been an invaluable asset to me for the past 6 years while I have been dealing with various medical issues. Most recently, she suggested a uACR test which revealed that I am in the early stages of kidney disease. This gives me a chance to adjust my diet and medication to help avoid further damage and kidney failure. This may very well add years to my life - if I had waited for the usual eGFR test to show kidney problems, I would already have been in kidney failure and on the path to dialysis or transplant.
