Leehealey Christine J, MD

I have been a patient of Doctor Leehealey since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and she has been one of the best. Initially my primary care physician referred me to another rheumatologist who ended up being one of my worst nightmare. I called my Primary and told her my awful experience and then she referred me to Doctor Leehealey and I couldn’t be happier. Doctor Leehealey takes the time to answer all your questions. She definitely knows what she is doing and she has helped me tremendously in managing my disease. I definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a rheumatologist. She is kind and I definitely get the feeling every time I go in that she is genuinely concerned for my overall health.

I have been a patient of Dr Leehealey for several years. After 2 years of being ill and visiting numerous doctors Dr. Leehealey was the only one who discovered what was going on. She is amazing. Very patient, thorough, and answers all my questions and concerns. I think she is one of the best doctors I have ever come across. I am living a better life with my illness under control. I would recommend her to anyone.

If u looking for a rheumatologist do not go see Dr Christine leehealey in irvine. I’ve been waiting for lab results for two weeks now. I called yesterday morning and they informed me everything in and dr will call you when she has time. Which is fine thinking it would be later that day. Well end of office hours next day still no call. These are labs and xrays i’ve been waiting for and to me are pretty urgent. I may not be her priority but never had a dr who is this neglectful. Not even when i had kaiser. I’ve worked in the medical field for most of my adult life and was in a doctor’s office for 5 years and i know it get busy but i also know the drs get the results and call the pts by end of that day. And not to mention my knee surgeon kept faxing over results from a tissue biopsy he did in 2010 but they insisted they did not get it and when i called the lab to see why they hadn’t faxed over results tech said they did on 21^st so something is not right with this place. Called office and left message this evening to have them fax over the labs and xray results to my friends jessica or jennifer at newport wellness and medical. Im glad to have friends who are physicians and care. These people in this office dont care and are neglectful and condescending to the pts. These results better be faxed tomorrow morning or ill be heading to the office myself for results.

So I have an issue that I won’t write about here, but no doctor has really been able to do anything about it. Couple that with my stubborn disregard for medications, and I was suffering for quite a while. Well Dr Leehealy, put me on a treatment, and got my wife on her side, that seems to be working for me. It’s not a cute but manages my symptoms. Thanks to her I am living a much more normal life. She is definitely worth consulting with.
