Lauren Leyva is an outstanding practitioner. She is so caring, knowledgeable, and never rushed. She explains everything in great detail including diagnostic studies, treatment plans, as well as taking the time to answer every question I had. In my long lifetime it has been rare to find a practitioner who will care for a patient as a whole and not just an isolated body part. Lauren is a great asset to the neurosurgery department as well as the whole institution!!!

Lauren seemed very personable as well as knowledgeable and concerned. She made me feel comfortable that things would grt better and also encouraged me to rest and take it slow. She explained my symtoms and seem genuinely concerned about me

I wish I could give a higher rating. It has been many years since I have been treated in such a caring manner. Lauren spent so much time with me. She was kind and treated me as a whole, not just one body part. She thoroughly explained every aspect of my condition, discussed the treatment plan and all options for diagnostic studies and possible surgical procedures. I left the office with a clear plan and followup. Dr Killory's entire office staff is beyond exceptional. I left the office knowing that I had received the best care possible. Thank you!!!

Lauren was responsible for most of my husband's follow-up appointments after his brain tumor surgery. She's knowledgeable and was very caring during all the appointments. She's got phenomenal bedside manner! She reacts quickly to prescription refill requests and questions and is in constant contact with the surgeon Dr. Killory. All doctors offices need a PA like Lauren!

Lauren Leyva took the time, on our virtual visit, to share details of the tests that I had. She showed me what she was referring to and shared what transpired with her discussion with my surgeon. Lauren took the time to answer questions, discuss options, and made sure I understood what the various options entailed. I felt she was thorough, compassionate, and passionate about what she does and how she handles her patients. I would highly recommend her.

Lauren, Chan and Dr Killory have been amazing. Attentive and responsive to all my concerns after back surgery. The surgery Dr Killory did literally changed my life. There was no pain at all after surgery and I am once again living the active life I always had! Follow up visits with Chan in the hospital and Lauren after that have been thorough. They answered my questions and gave me confidence to continue exercising. I feel that this practice exceeds all expectations!

PA Lauren Leyva is fantastic! Not only is she knowledgeable and proficient but she has a wonderful “bed-side manner.” Dr. Killory’ and his entire team have been top notch.
