Eleanor Leung, MD

Dr. Leung is amazing for so many reasons. I started seeing her when I first found out I was pregnant. I asked around for recommendations and was surprised when I found out I had four friends from different circles under Dr. Leung’s care.
She delivered my son 17 days ago and I am so grateful she was my doctor. There were some health concerns during my pregnancy and Dr. Leung was always available to discuss my concerns and always gave me both the pros and cons of any medical situation/​procedure. I always felt well informed when having to make decisions about my health and the health of my baby.
If you are looking for a doctor with multiple decades of experience, a doctor who comes highly recommended by other physicians, and a doctor you can 100% TRUST, Dr. Leung would be a good match for you.

Dr. Leung was my OB for my first pregnancy and I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. She was understanding, caring yet straight out. She never made a promise she couldn’t deliver. Dr. Leung always had a great attitude and made me feel comfortable asking any questions.

I came in for a visit in February. The office staff isn’t very welcoming. Not to mention, I waited well over 1 hour after my appointment time. I patiently waited as others complained and were rudely told to sit down and wait. I seen Dr. Leung for less than a minute as she wrote me up for imaging. Every time I’ve followed up, they fail to call me back. When I call in they advise me everything is okay. Agreed, everything may seem okay but I still suffer from chronic pain. Also, when I called in to get a note done for work they were completely unaware of how to fill out the paperwork and told me to get it done by my primary physician. I have called their biller at least 4 times and have yet to receive a call back. I was referred to this doctor by a friend and really regret taking their advice. This has been by far the worst experience with any doctor and I’m now being billed for services that were never rendered.

Terrible bedside manners. Very judgmental– if you’re over 30 and married without child she’ll judge you for it… if you’re under 30 and not married she’ll judge you for it. Very old fashion backward thinking. Orders STD testing when there are no indications for it and does not ask for patients approval. I have a feeling she’s in it for the $$$ reimbursements. If you are an established patient and have learned and accepted her ways, all power to you. If you are new patient looking for an ob-​gyn, I would heed my warnings. There are better ob-​gyn in the area.

Dr. Leung is great. She is friendly, welcoming, and efficient. She sometimes seems to be in a hurry, but that’s alright! She never makes me feel rushed, and I never have to wait long to be seen. I am comfortable asking her any questions I have.
However, THE RECEPTIONISTS (particularly the one wearing the red scrubs in the photos) ARE SO RUDE. Always unpleasant over the phone and in person.
I would have given 5 stars because I think Dr. Leung Is awesome, but the the receptionists really have a negative impact of the office in my own opinion.

I’ve been a patient for more than 4 yrs now at Dr. Leung office. Dr. Leung always spends her time to listen what concerns that I have and answered all my questions. I’ve have been to different OBGY for pap test in the past, it made me feel that’s a torture procedure… But with Dr. Leung, pap test is not a horrifying experience anymore, she asked me not to be so tense, and chit chat with me cuz she tried to draw my attention to something else. Dr. Leung is very attentive, and gentle, and most important is that she cares about my health problem. I went to see her couple times due to my UTI, and she did prescribe the medication, but she insist me to see the urology if the symptom comes back again within a short period of time. Unlike some other doc just See you case by case only. She will go above & beyond :)

I’m going to echo the previous reviews for this office… Dr Leung is very good… BUT a certain FRONT DESK STAFF (not speaking about all of the ladies) deserves ONE STAR (or no star)…AND needs SERIOUS training on how to be POLITE… and maybe instructions on how to have more than one facial expression other than ANNOYED.

Dr. Leung was very Cold, I was going to get my birth control pills and she Kept asking me when i wanted to have children, when i had told her numerous times I didn’t want children. She was very cold and not very open to options when i developed High blood pressure with the birth control pills. I was hoping she could give me options. But she said no to the pills and referred to a specialist to get medication for the high blood pressure. but the reason why i was on the pill was to regulate by period and stop the painful cramps. she had me do a pelvic and Vagina ultrasound, when those came back clear she said to do a uterus biopsy to make sure i didn’t have cancer. After all the testing came back clear. I don’t recommend her, not a good understanding doctor. I was so mad when i left her office. I wanted to take my co-​pay back for a 2 –5 min appointment.

Dr. Leung: 5 stars
Receptionist: ZERO STARS
Today, late morning, I accompanied my good friend to her doctor’s appointment. While I waited for her in the reception area a pregnant young lady walked in and the receprionist seemed rude with her. This lady sat next to me, she immediately got on her cell phone and was complaining to someone. A few moments later another expecting woman walked in and the receptionist, again, was rude and not very welcoming or friendly. She sat next to the lady sitting next to me. I overheard their conversation and they were both sharing how rude the receptionist was and has been in the past. I heard them say she is always in a bad mood. When my friend came out I shared what I had witnessed, she agreed the receptionist is not very friendly.
I am appauld how someone whose job is to receive (already stressed) pregnant woman can hold such a position??? As I understand, Dr. Leung accepts only PPO insurance, which is not cheap. So these hard working people paying extra for their insurance get treated like that, which I find totally unacceptable.
I gave Dr. Leung five stars per my friend’s request but I personally feel the RECEPTIONIST GETS ZERO STARS! She needs to find a job where she is not working with the public.

Dr Leung’s office in Pasadena should be your top choice when choosing an OBGYN. Her professionalism and her staff show exemplary care towards their patients. As first time parents our road to our delivery date was so easy as she explained processes clearly and made me feel at ease for all the questions my wife, Jana, and I had. The delivery process had its complications and I have to commend Dr Leung on her calm, cool, and collective way of allowing us to be comfortable in the most difficult of circumstances. Every day I look at my newborn son and thank god that she helped bring him into this world. We will definitely be back in a couple of years when the time comes to have another. I want to applaud the whole staff and thank you for bringing this bundle of joy into our lives. My family and I thank you immensely!

So far so good I love Dr. Leung she is so cute and nice. However very fast with her appointments but I understand shes busy. Just hard when you only get to see your baby once a month aaahhh I wish I could see my lil Bundle on the Ultrasound for longer.

Tyler and I love her! She safely deliver our 9 + pounds with select c-​section. I trust her with both of our lives. Samuel now is almost 1 year 5 months, 3 ft tall, and 35lb. when I look at him, I Thank Dr. Leung for bring him into my world. She helped us with our first child. Thank you so much for not listening to me on (tiding my tubes) the operation table (no no no, you are too young, you might want to have another one!). She is right! We CAN’T wait to have another child, with the help of Dr. Leung soon.

Terrific! Great overall experience — and that’s saying something given that it is an OB/​GYN.
Moreover, I’d had an awful experience with another nearby OB/​GYN with my health care provider (Health Care Partners), so was pretty nervous about trying another doc in their system. Not to worry!
The whole experience from the front desk, the doctor herself, the facility, all first rate. What a relief!!!

I’ve been wanting to update my review here for quite some time, but I wanted to wait until I completed my last procedure so I could report fully.
Dr. Leung is amazing. As you can see from my last review, I’ve been a patient here for the last 3+ years now.
I’ve always been able to get appointments for my annuals in a timely manner, my ovarian cyst issue was resolved, and most recently, Dr. Leung and her staff helped me with my first pregnancy.
I was living in Brazil when I found out I was pregnant. I decided to come back home to the US for the pregnancy and delivery. I passed through LA on my way to the east coast where I would be from Thanksgiving through Christmas — I only had a two day layover, and the staff here squeezed me in so I could have my first pre-​natal appointment, despite them being very busy the week of a major holiday. It would be another 6 weeks until I was able to move back into my house (which I was renting out) and living back full time in LA, so I really appreciated them seeing me.
While staying on the East Coast, the office answered my questions in a timely manner.
Once back in LA, the service from the staff and Dr. Leung was amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for anything else.
Throughout the pregnancy, my blood pressure was elevated. Dr. Leung kept an eye on it, but also was strict with me which I appreciated. She had me monitor my blood pressure at home daily, watch my salt intake, etc. Yes, she is my doctor, but my health is also my responsibility, so she made sure I had the information to take charge of that. As the pregnancy progressed, we also saw that my baby was measuring ahead of schedule. For example, at week 28, he was measuring at week 32. She ran all of the appropriate tests to make sure he was healthy despite his size.
As D-​Day approached, we had to have a very real conversation about the risks of giving birth vaginally to a big baby. At week 37, the ultrasound machine was showing he was already about 9 lbs, with three weeks still to go (at least)! We were made aware that ultrasounds are not accurate of course. She gave us all of the information we needed to measure the pros and cons of having a scheduled C-​Section as opposed to trying to deliver him vaginally.
Like most couples, my husband and I imagined ourselves laboring for hours in the hospital before triumphantly pushing a baby out. A C-​Section changes all of that of course. But because of the testing that Dr. Leung did, and because she sent us to another doctor for a more accurate ultrasound, we knew that both the safety of myself and the baby were #1 — more important than living out any weird birth fantasy that could have ended in an emergency C-​Section anyway. At the end of the day, WE TRUSTED HER.
The day of the surgery was calm and stress free. I was definitely nervous going into it, but she made me feel calm. She delivered our healthy 9.6lb, 22″ baby successfully and quickly had me closed up and in the recovery room. Looking at him now as only a few days old, I could not imagine waiting to go into labor in another TWO WEEKS and try to pass him vaginally. He’d easily be 10+ lbs. She absolutely made the right call. Plus, the surgery site is quickly healing up!
As I recovered in the hospital, she checked in on me every day. When hospital staff was being a little dramatic about our baby being «too» sleepy, she was a realistic breathe of fresh air and reassured us he was fine. And he is.
As for the office staff, they were very patient with me. There were several times where I called in the morning and said things like, «I was in the hospital yesterday, and i have to see Dr. Leung today.» They’d always find a way to get me in. They answered all of my questions, and they took care of my husband and I.
Again, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Dr. Leung has been my doctor for over 7 years now, not just for my pregnancies but for everything else. I am so glad to have found her! Dr. Leung is not just a fantastic doctor but a caring human being. As professional as she is, she also understands the difficulties of pregnancy and has been so patient with me and has eased my fears and comforted me during the trials of pregnancy. Dr. leung’s staff is also fantastic. Roxanne is always so helpful and knowledgeable and the receptionists are friendly as well.

Let me start off by saying that I see a LOT of doctors (three chronic illnesses, in a family with many other chronic illnesses, bummer). I know a good doctor from a bad doctor and have experienced many of both. I totally mean this as it sounds: I know my crap. Disability brings a certain amount of expertise. And I will 100% commit to saying that Eleanor Leung is an amazing doctor.
I’ve seen Dr. Leung for the last three years as my regular OB/​GYN. A well woman visit is never something you really look forward too. It’s just plain physically uncomfortable. But Dr. Leung makes me actually look forward to my yearly appointment. She’s simply delightful. She goes beyond asking about my life and making small talk – she remembers incredibly specific details I’ve told her, and celebrates any success or happy thing more excitedly than my own grandmother. And yeah, sure, I get that she’s just there to make sure I’m healthy and send me on my way – but again, when you see as many doctors as I have, you start to realize that the ones who care about you as a person, remember you, celebrate you are really truly special.
Leung cares about her patients more than most doctor’s I’ve visited. That’s really special. At my last appointment, she went into her lunch break just to chat with me. She’s gentle, attentive,
When I came here to finally leave a review I was so dismayed to see that she only had three stars, and I genuinely don’t understand these reviews. Yeah, I wasn’t there, I can only judge by my own experience – sure. But I will say that you get with a doctor what you bring to them. This is not a spa and a field that’s genuinely tougher, more demanding and more harried than many forms of medicine. I get as frustrated as anybody else when a doctor’s office is running a half hour behind. But bringing that anger into the exam room isn’t going to help you, the nurses, or the doctor themselves. I’ve seen Dr. Leung at her most harried (my appointment one time was delayed almost an hour because of a surprise delivery) and at her calmest; she’s a person. It’s going to happen. But getting on her, or any doctor’s case, about it doesn’t really help. OB/​GYNs are here because they *care*. If they didn’t, they’d be in plastics or dermatology. The choice of field alone tells you a lot about that person.
Along with that, I’ve never had a problem with the office staff. Can they be brusque? Certainly. But reception sucks. Again: if you bring a good attitude and a smile, so will they. I’ve NEVER been met with coldness or anger by any of the reception staff after being relaxed.
Whatever, my two cents. I’ve recommend friends to see her when they’ve moved to Pasadena and I’ll keep doing so.

Dr Leung put a lot of effort into our pregnancy. It was our first and we learned a lot from her… Ups and downs aside, she can be trusted and has a good reputation overall. The hospitality has plenty of room for improvement… Going in here stressed out, burdened by life in general and in roller coaster pregnancy mode, the least they could do is have empathy and a smile. The signs posted everywhere set the tone for the front office. «Don’t» and «We will not» signs everywhere.
That’s the most valuable feedback I can offer her office and the people considering becoming patients.

Dr. Leung is by far hands down the best doctor I’ve ever had. She’s so bubbly! She took her time and explained everything to us and asked us if we had any questions maybe like 4 times. She made sure I was comfortable and she was very gentle. We didn’t feel rushed at all. It’s the first time I met her but she made me feel like I’ve known her for like forever! The office staff are very friendly too! They greeted me and asked how my day was. No attitude whatsoever! Definitely give Dr. Leung a try! U will not regret it! I promise!

Where we even in the office by the same doctor? Dr. Leung rushed through my appointment and she did not take the time to talk about my history. I have had issues with my menstruation and I went in a couple times to see if we could figure it out — trial and error. Every time that I went in I waited a while to be seen and she didn’t spend more than 10 minutes with me. She is very dry and rough around the edges. When going over my treatment plan she basically said that she would not be able to help me unless I wanted to get pregnant. Who says that? When doing a pap, she rushed and was a bit aggressive. I had to switch because I did not agree with the options she had for me.

Wonderful. Amazing. Gentle. Attentive. Compassionate doctor.
Following a painful autoimmune work up, I needed /​need serious medical help. Dr. Leung went beyond the normal call of duty, as she has always done to help me.
Vasovagal reactions are a terrifying side effect caused by internal carotid artery aneurysm problems. Since my first post-​neurosurgery pap, I have turned blue, become ill, and sometimes stopped breathing during an exam or medical procedure. (Sorry doctors, dentists and practitioners!)
Dr. Leung, who is aware of my past hospitalizations, makes special arrangements and takes special precautions to keep me safe from harm and hospital.
TIA, another side effect of ICA disease, can be effected by hormones like estrogen and progesterone. My progesterone-​inspired TIA episodes led to the discovery of my aneurysms.
Dr. Leung, who is willing to talk complicated neuroscience with my neurologist to keep me episode-​free is a lifesaver to me.
Her waiting room smells like pine trees and Christmas candy in December. Her walls are covered in photographs of beautiful newborn babies and lucky mother’s arms.
I stare at useful female anatomy diagrams while waiting for a few minutes to be seen. Dr. Leung is all smiles as always. Her smile is exchanged for concern as she talks me through a reparitive procedure and forbids me from leaving without rest.
If I were planning a family, she would bring mine into the world. I hope to have her in my life to provide me with beautiful pictures someday. +crosses fingers+
If like me, you need help with post-​procedure trauma requring cutting-​edge neuroscience techniques Dr. Leung will take great care of you. If you need a caring, compassionate obgyn to see you through your female upkeep, hers are good hands to be in.
Ladies, grandmothers and future mothers, this is for you.:)
Thank you for taking such good care of me and my complicated case Dr. Leung!
