Seeing the bad reviews and 1 question policy, I was anxious to see her.  But I knew I had 15 minutes, she was rude and condescending, and literally made  me leave after 5 minutes of consultation even though I waited a long time to see her. Switching to a walk in clinic.  Not worth being treated like garbage especially when I’m sick.

I saw her years ago. I honestly hoped she had been put out of practice after we found out she left the clinic I saw her in. I and another family member of mine saw her and she was awful to us. She raised her voice constatntly. Belittle. And would just generally be angry for daring to talk to her.

Speaking in my personal experience, I was a teenager and had/have alot of different things I need help from a doctor for. Most, if not all of these have things that intertwine. Which means by default, it would break her "1 question/issue per appointment". Which I would do my best to abide by but sometimes can't be avoided. Example: Anxiety & depression can be related and treated together but I can't talk about both even if they are connected.

No matter what I did I was wrong in this woman's eyes.
At times I brought my parent in to help me, because I have hearing issues and sometimes require help, especially with strong accents, but also because I was at the time dealing with severe PTSD and anxiety so had a hard time articulating thoughts especially to a person who is constantly raising their voice at me.
She would proceed to not let sed parent help me. Even in just repeating Leiki's exact words but just in a tone I could hear/understand better.
If my parent said anything on behalf of me, even if just repeating me, Lieki wouldn't hear it insisting it had to be from me.
BUT if I went in alone, and talked about my conditions and such, in my own words, she would get angry and insult me saying "Use your words not your parents!" because apparently I can't speak for myself? And because of this she would straight up not listen.

Every appointment was like this. I always ended up crying. I kept not receiving care I desperatly needed. And yet I was too unwell to have no doctor so I stayed.

My last straw was seeing her, asking her to help me get on disability since I need a doctor to sign off on that. She said the following, as a DIRECT quote: "You aren't r-----ed enough for that." Yes she used the ableist R-slur to say that I wasnt disabled enough. (For the record, with a new doctor I easily got on disability because I very much am "disabled enough" & if anything more disabled then she liked to potray me as.)
That was our last straw. We put in a complaint with the owner of the clinic who admitted it wasnt the first complaint on her theyd received and shortly after we noticed she no longer worked there.

I got into a conversation with someone and this experience came up and I decided to look her up. The latest review on here is from 2022 so I have no clue if she is still in practice but I decided to share my experience. Considering how validating it was for me to see other peoples experiences from here, I would like to share mine. I'm sorry to all of you who have also had the displeasure of being her patient.
