Dr. Garrick Leonard practices general Obstetrics and Gynecology stressing patient eduaction and involvement. He believes that each patient needs to understand her body and her healthcare choices.
Dr. Leonard has been on the full-time faculty at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University since completing his residency there in 1991. He was board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1993. Dr Leonard has provided care for many thousands of women and has delivered over two thousand babies.
"I believe that pregnancy is a natural if unique phase in a woman's life. My job is to assure that each pregnancy is proceeding normally and intervene if it is not. Many pregnancies are medically straightforward. Some, such as twins or triplets, may be complex from the outset. In others, problems such as high blood pressure or pre-term labor may develop. I am fortunate to practice at the Weill Cornell campus of the New York Presbyterian Hospital where the latest technologies and superbly trained specialists are only a few steps or a phone call away. I still find each pregnancy and delivery extraordinary and exciting.
"I chose to practice Ob/Gyn because I am able to care for women through the many stages of their reproductive lives. During my years of training and practice, I have developed several areas of special interest and expertise within gynecology. These include:
- Fertility management including contraception, pre-conceptual counseling, and basic infertility evaluation
- Evaluation and treatment of abnormal PAP smears
- Management and treatment (medical and surgical)of uterine fibroids
- Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery including laparoscopic hysterectomy
Advances in pharmacology and surgical technology now offer multiple avenues for treatment of these and other gynecologic problems. I eduacte and work with my patients to help each one choose the most appropriate treatment path for her."
