Emma Geraldine Cargado-Leynes, DO

Dr. Leynes-Cargado is a wonderful doctor. She truly cares and listens to what you have to say or any questions you may have. Makes you feel at ease and very friendly.

I’m giving her 1 star because I cannot go any lower. Dr. Cargado- Leynes was dismissive at best and condescending at worst. I came to her because I was suddenly experiencing heavy pain and bleeding after 4 months using Birth Control that I was prescribed because of years worth of various menstrual issues. I explained the issues and that because of what my previous doctor had said I also told her that I suspected that I had ovarian cysts. I explained that my condition has severely decreased my quality of life and ability to work. Her response was that the amount of bleeding I reported was ‘nothing to be worried about’ and that I was too young to be concerned about cysts. I told her that cysts run in my family on my Mothers side and she said again that I was too young to be concerned about cysts. I pushed for an ultrasound and she relented but said ‘honey, from the bottom of my heart I promise you they will find nothing’. Fast forward 1 week, I had an ultrasound and the tech found not one but two cysts in my ovaries. Each about the size of the ovary itself. New, young, female patients beware.
