Verified SHC Patient
I like Dr. Leong. Really liked him a lot. I had my doubts about the Pain Management department. Three years ago, Dr.Mesias, Stanford Senior Care, sent me to Pain Management to try to better manage migraine I’ve had since age 5. A Fellow & his boss suggested an inpatient stay. I told them I had an Inpatient stay, Headache Clonic, UCSF. After 48 hrs at Mt Zion, I was sent over to Parnassus with excruciating pain & left leg weakness. CT showed zilch. Under Peter Goadsby, the process was attempted again a year later. Same result. I remember having a pic line which they pulled and released me. I had been screaming in pain 24 hours after no sumatriptan.
So I told the Stanford Pain Management doc to look up my record at UCSF and tell me what they would do. That was the end of my association with Pain Management at Stanford until 7/8 with Dr. Leong.

Dr Leong - super easy to talk to. He heard what I said and provided information that I felt was very truthful. He provided advice that suited what I need and wanted. I like that he didn't push for me to have a procedure just because he's a specialist in that field.
He also provided info on resources that I wasn't aware of so far and that was great. It made me feed like the meeting was really useful and a good use of my time. I really like Dr Leong.

I find Dr. Spencer Leong to very short dismissive. I have seen him on 3 occasions now. The initial consultation was good, my last two visits I feel like I am wasting his time. As soon as he asks "What would you like done?" I know he is ready to leave the room.

Verified SHC Patient
I have no clue whether Dr. Leong is a good Dr. or not. He spent barely anytime with me. When he first walked in the room he interrupted a tearful discussion without even noticing. That started things off wrong - He talked loud and overly confident and condescending. Then leaves to talk over things with the nurse! But I made the appt with Dr.! A scary appt at that.

I am 68, Dr. Michael Leong is one of the finest doctors I have ever met. He discussed my complicated back problem and my options in clear language.
