— Zocdoc review for Dr. Kenneth Leon

"This practice use to be much better. They moved to a nice new building but the service has gotten much worse. ... She seemed visibly upset because I did NOT agree with her on something that had absolutely NOTHING to do with what I brought my daughter in for."

— LocalityBiz review for Astor Avenue Pediatrics

"These doctors do not care about validating you or much less caring about your questions or concerns. Very bias and based on their person opinions."
