Longoria OBGYN: Leonardo Longoria, MD — Local services in El Paso

This is a very late review. But Longoria was my first ob visit, and he's the reason I have trust issues with obgyns so much now. I highly recommend you don't come to him. But I saw Longoria back in 2020(COVID). It was my first positive result for pregnancy, my husband and I were ecstatic....we tried for so long. I go to the appointment, and my husband was not allowed in the lobby with me even though I saw other pregnant wives with her husbands sitting in the lobby. I didn't want to make a fuss it being covid and all. Longoria checked me and said that I lost my baby. That it was a there was nothing in the egg sac...no heartbeat. I was 11 weeks along supposedly. He then immediately proceeded to ask me how I wanted to go about removing the pregnancy. He offered no sympathy, no apologies, no explanations, no comforting....I asked him are you sure??? Maybe I'm too early or I was off with the "time" that I gave about possible conception. I was absolutely devastated and heartbroken. Choking back tears and in denial. He insisted he'd "done this a while" and knew what it was. At the same time during these exchanges I begged him to let my husband in, because by now I was in disbelief and hysterical in tears. They would not allow my husband in. It wasn't until I full on started crying that they took me to a back room sat me down that he finally relented and asked the nurse (who kept asking him "I can go get her husband he's outside in the parking lot, it's not a problem") My husband was equally disheveled when he saw the state I was in. I never felt so horrible....in my life with a doctor. The worst bedside manner I've ever experienced. I went to the front for a pill prescription he gave....paid and left. To this day....I wonder if he was wrong...I should of gone for a second opinion. Waited a bit longer....the hardest pill to swallow, the worst pain I've felt, and the deepest regret i have. At the time I was so distraught I couldn't think clearly I was so upset. I didn't reflect on how I was treated at the time. I thought only of our loss, and took his word for it....thinking he's a doctor I'm not. I even called the receptionist that same day and I feel so bad now for hysterical crying and pleading with her on the phone "maybe he made a mistake! Please schedule me for another appointment! He has to be wrong! I tried so hard to get pregnant!" I heard her choking back tears on the phone with me, trying to console me. I then apologized to her and hung up. It was the worst time in my life for my husband and myself. Looking back, I should of seen another obgyn....I've heard stories on the EP Mommies pageon facebook of this happening and moms actually being pregnant after something like this happening. Please don't come here. I now have my son who's 2.5 years old my greatest miracle and gift. But I'll always think and wonder "what if". I was a fool....I should of made sure with a second opinion, and I wish I had. I had to share this story....because this ob made my first experience the...

Negligence galore! Dr. Longoria runs a herpes screening on ALL patients. Several associations advice against administering this test on asymptomatic cases, especially pregnant women, including the Center against Disease Control, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, the American Academy of Family Physicians, American Sexual Health Association, etc. In asymptomatic cases, this test will give a 1 in 2 false positive result, so it's like going to the doctor and him flipping a coin.

You can only imagine the stress that this caused in my wife and our relationship. The test results even stated that there was a chance for a false positive because it was lower than the cutoff result and Dr. Longoria disregarded us and said that my wife had an 85% chance and that she had probably passed it on to our first born. He said that my wife probably got it from her mother and that my wife and I would have to use a condom from now on. He said that I could also have passed it on to her or she could have gotten it from someone else. Even though we did our research and knew that he was wrong, it created trust issues between us. We went to another OBGYN and he ran further testing that was more accurate and it showed negative.

According to Longoria's staff, he was the only one proudly screening everybody. This is so wrong. At the end of the day, it destroys relationships, produces anxiety, brings about unnecessary treatments, and even c-sections. This doctor is very unethical and is doing it out of ignorance or monetary gain, but he should stop. Furthermore, you will only be seen once or twice by him and then it will be students and staff that will see you. Go with someone else that will give you a personal treatment that you deserve and do not go with the billboard doctor that will forget about you and will not give you five minutes...

Here is part two of my review about Mr.Longoria

There was another nurse in the room named Karla she witness everything her eyes got huge when the doctor got snippy with me. I did ask her after the doctor walked out quick question he was rude she did say I can’t comment I don’t want to get into any issues but YES HE WAS and said let me get you a manger ok I said ty with tears in my eyes. Martha the manger came in u explained everything she did say she new about my case yesterday but the male was supposed to let me know they were not doing a ultrasound but of course he didn’t. She apologized off bat for the doctors attitude as well as the male receptionist from yesterday. I did tell Martha I have the worst nausea ( the whole time I’m waiving air to my face with my hand trying not to throw up)The doctor was supposed to give me zofran, something for my thyroid pain but he refused to walked out. It is now 11:40am no call back (I did leave they agreed to call me to let me know the meds were sent or if he didn’t want to put them in since we “Clashed” (her words not mine) I did say i really do them I would take this as high as i Can go she told me making threats will get you no where, I did tell tell okay tell him whatever you’d like I just need the meds. After this she said they would call me still Nothing 11:55 am (08-05-2021)…horrible I will be reaching out to BBB and any where he is online Yelp,Google etc online and leasing this review no one deserves to get treated like this especially when going through such a hard time this last week a doctor should help not make you feel ignorant and down you as well as curse and storm out of the room (He is the only doctor on site seems to me he uses that and his ego is high up there). Thanks y’all have a good blessed day!Stay humble. (Emiliy...
