Leaf Medical

I love Leaf Medical. Dr. Sunwoo is the best! She is so personable and keeps me well informed. I was referred to her by a colleague who happend to see Dr. Sunwoo for a routine check up. During the examination, Dr. Sunwoo found a lump on my friend’s breast which happened to breast cancer. Dr. Sunwoo did such a great job working with her that the entire staff dropped their primary care doctors and enrolled with Leaf Medical. It’s been 3 years and I’m highly satisfied. She is very responsive to my questions and I never have to wait if I need to see her, she is very accommodating.
I loved my experience so much I changed my dentist when they opened a dental section. I know they have a gyn which I don’t use because i love my obgyn.

Great facility and bedside manner. All the front desk employees were great and very polite. Dr. Sunwoo took her time and was great!

I read all the reviews and carefully studied Leaf Medical’s website before choosing to come to this office. I booked my dental and annual physical for same day appointment and I am so glad I did. No waiting time, and the entire experience was easy. The few negative reviews I read were all from patients who ran late and were turned away. Personally, I love that Leaf medical sticks to it’s policies as we all know that it is the late patients that make all the other on time patients wait around. There was no waiting time here and I appreciate that they value patients time. We all can’t wait around because other appointments decide to run late. Leaf medical seems to adhere to this on time policy and I am so happy for it. Doctors and staff were all wonderful.

Staff remembers your name, very efficient and finally a clinic that works with technology in 2016! Able to email doctors, forms and even paperless prescriptions. New members but loving so far.

These people were extremely unsympathetic and rude. As all of NYC knows, there have been major issues with the trains. I arrived less than 15 minutes late to my appointment and was told to reschedule. It is not easy for me to leave work early, and there are so few options at this place for those of us with jobs and the fact that they couldn’t have made this work just shows how little they care about their patients livelihoods and shows their hypocrisy (when is the last time you didn’t wait a minimum 15 too see the doctor?)!

Dr. Sunwoo and her team are amazing. It was seamless, paperless, efficient, and high-​quality. I am so happy that I found them and I am no longer worried about whether or not I will have the excellent quality of care I received before moving to Brooklyn two months ago. Highly rated for anyone looking for great care, excellent service, and efficiency!

Dr Sunwoo (my GP), Dr Goldman (my dentist), and every single staff member at Leaf, are all incredible. I’ve been lucky enough not to have to see them for anything beyond standard physicals and cleanings, but the Dr’s have such impeccable bedside manner that I actually look forward to going in. The assistants at the front desk are also super kind and polite, and as everybody else mentions, aesthetically, the office is very modern and tidy – I can’t recommend this practice highly enough.

My husband and I both saw Dr Sunwoo and my daughter saw Dr Shaps so I will review both.
First off the desk staff is so nice, so from the first point on we had a great experience. Our wait time was very minimal and the whole process was speedy and smooth.
Sunwoo: Very attentive and answered all of our questions. Great personality and made silly jokes with me as well. She didn’t seem rushed and seemed interested and concerned with everything that I brought up.
Shaps: My daughter said «She’s Awesome!». My daughter was having a few issues and and she listened to all of my concerns. Asked my daughter plenty of follow up questions and made her feel at ease. We came up with a game plan on how to proceed with the issues we are having and then what to do if plan A doesn’t work. I feel comfortable with what we accomplished today and I’m very happy with having Dr Shaps as my daughters PCP.
Overall the office was lovely and rooms were clean. Bathroom was clean as well. Area it’s in is great and there is plenty to do while you’re in the neighborhood.

Nice clean office, easy location in hipster Dumbo. The staff were nice and friendly. Janelle was attentive and listened to my issues and concerns. Everything went really easy peasy. Overall a great experience!

Dr. Sunwoo is very judgemental and I don’t trust her or think she cares about her patients. She even sighed and rolled her eyes when I was describing my symptoms.

This was the best doctors appointment ever. I was running late and arrived 13 minutes late but they still saw me. The receptionist was super nice and even though I didn’t have my insurance card she made it easy for me to just email it to her. I sat down and was literally seen 2 minutes later. The office is clean and modern with tablets and nice décor.
Dr. Was nice and really got to know me and my history. Overall I loved everything and have made Dr. Sunwoo my pcp just because of this appointment

I went here for my annual physical and met with Dr. Sunwoo. She is a wonderful doctor who listens very patiently, probes gently but firmly into your health and history and provides good advice. The doctor called me after the blood results came out to go over the report with me. I haven’t found too many doctors who take time to do that which is why I was extremely pleased with Dr. Sunwoo. Definitely recommend this facility and the doctor.

This review is for Dr Shaps and the nurses.
I could not recommend this practice enough.
1. Dr Shaps is super efficient. At every appointment she has given us some information to take home on our child’s next milestones, which has been very helpful and she is always prompt in her email response (I have on several occasions received emails from her on the weekend — even on non urgent issues.)
2. She is very patient — and I have had some very strange questions! (The product of sleep depreciation and 4am googling). She also has a great memory and will remember small details from previous appointments.
3. The nurses are great, very calm and personable. In the beginning I had some tough appointments — they helped put both me and my newborn at great ease.
The practice is very clean and we have never had to wait longer than 5 minutes.

We fell in love with with this practice and Dr. Shaps while searching for pediatricians. Even though we don’t live in the neighborhood, we think it is worth the short subway ride to take advantage of all the pluses.
1. The office is beautiful and clean.
2. Records and appointment schedules can all be accessed online.
3. The support staff are all exceedingly helpful and friendly.
4. They do not overbook. Appointments are not rushed. At all. You have all the time you need to ask questions and get answers.
5. Dr. Shaps has a very practical approach that fits well into the way we want to parent. A healthy combination of sound medical advice while also appreciating kids are resilient and you don’t need to worry about every little thing.
6. Billing has been a breeze.
7. You don’t do any waiting in the waiting room. Instead, you are taken back to a examination room almost immediately, which is nice when you have a brand new infant and don’t want them being exposed to germs.
HIGHLY recommend.

Beautiful, clean office. Friendly staff. A doctor who listens to your concerns and provides advice. Professional assistants and many convenient services on site.
I’m super happy a friend recommended Leaf medical.

I’m so happy this practice is in my neighborhood!
From start to finish, this was a really positive experience. I had seen flyers in my apt lobby when they opened, and remembered to look them up when I needed to see someone earlier today. I was able to see details of the practice online, and book an appointment same day via ZocDoc, as well as download and prepare new patient paperwork.
When I arrived at the office, it was very clean and the staff was welcoming. They even took me a little bit early! The nurse and doctor were both very friendly and professional. Dr Sunwoo took the time to listen to my concerns, and explain to me what the possibilities could be. I feel reassured and confident in next steps.
I will definitely return to Dr Sunwoo and Leaf Medical for all regular check ups going forward as well.

There are no words for how incredible this practice is. Easy and on time are imperative with sick babies and toddlers who have zero patience to wait. Leaf is on time every single time, the team is extremely courteous and Dr Shaps is fantastic with my children. I never imagined going to the doctor could be such a (dare I say it…) joy!
Professional, helpful, and genuinely interested to help. Email follow ups are so helpful when it’s snowing out and I have a sick little one at home. I’m very appreciative for Dr Shaps open communication for any medical questions I have.

I hunted for a good doctor for my daughter for the last 6 months and can’t even tell you how I stumbled upon Leaf Medical and Dr. Shaps, but I am so happy I did!
The location is great, space is beautiful, the front desk was friendly and efficient. My daughter was really nervous because her last pediatric visit was awful (doctor was cold and took no personal interest in my child, didn’t try to relax my daughter in any way, etc) but Dr. Shaps was awesome from the moment she walked in.
She greeted my daughter and me, and immediately connected with my child and made her feel happy and comfortable.
Dr. Shaps addressed all our questions and concerns while being lively and sweet towards my child. She gave us recommendations for dentists and walk in clinics and anything else we needed. So truly helpful.
I already scheduled an appointment for my husband and I to see Dr. Sunwoo, and I am so glad this place exists. Basically a one stop shop for the whole family’s medical needs!
I absolutely recommend!

I’ve been a patient since they opened, and Dr. Sunwoo is great– as is everyone there. They’re so prompt and organized and wonderful. I think on average my wait time has been under 5 minutes, and she spends at least 10 – 15 minutes with me talking– first time was longer. It’s so easy to book appointments on ZocDoc, and there is generally a lot of availability. She makes it easy to go to the doc. FYI: They don’t take cash.

Last time I went to a doctor for a physical, they told me I had some concerning test results. So I just didn’t go to a doctor for a few years… because everyone knows that if you bury your head in the sand, problems just go away.
Anyway, I figured that a few years was long enough for all my medical issues to disappear, especially since I’ve been eating and drinking so healthfully of late.* So I made an appointment with Leaf Medical.
This is a doctor’s office that will appeal to regular riders on the Information Superhighway. Everything from appointments to confirmations to follow-​ups can be done via electronic means. Hell, they’ve got iPads strewn about the clean and pleasant waiting room for your use,** which I appreciate more than I do the CB2 décor.
Most conveniently, you can fill out all the paperwork online beforehand which streamlines the actual visit. I think my appointment was for 10:30 am, but I arrived ten minutes early. By 10:24 I was in an exam room having my blood pressure taken, and my doctor was telling me all the reasons I need to stop eating and drinking the things I am constantly eating and drinking by 10:30. This is the kind of wait I can get behind.
Thankfully, none of the medical expertise is sacrificed for the sake of convenience and quickness. My doctor was knowledgable and even personable, answering all of my idiotic questions patiently and thoroughly.
I’ve only been here for the one physical, but I feel as though I’m in good hands, and I’ll probably even come back whether or not there’s anything wrong with me.
