Patients will appreciate knowing that in Dr. LeLeiko’s view, the most important part of her work is building a trusting relationship. “I enjoy seeing many of my patients over time and building on that relationship.”
Dr. LeLeiko started her medical career at New York University School of Medicine, earning her medical degree, then completing internal medicine training at Emory. She completed her general cardiology and vascular medicine fellowships at Boston University School of Medicine. She also completed a master’s of science degree in epidemiology at Boston University.

She views patient care as a collaboration with my patients and their families. “I encourage my patients to ask me questions, and I always do my best to be honest with my answers. As their doctor, I can only truly take care of my patients when I know what their concerns are. Once we are all on the same page, we make a plan together to get or keep them as healthy as possible going forward.”
Dr. LeLeiko is part of the Fibromuscular Dysplasia Program, which has a multi-specialty team that provides comprehensive, coordinated care from every aspect including evaluation, diagnosis, genetics, medical treatment, invasive procedures (when needed) and surveillance.

I was seen first by an Emory Resident physician, Dr. Sammak, and then also by my Cardiologist Dr. LeLeiko. Both physicians inquired about my health status and how I was doing and offered to answer any questions I had. I feel both showed genuine caring about my welfare, were excellent listeners and diagnosticians. Dr. Sammak provided me an excellent educational overview of what a Watchman procedure involves, after I asked her about it. My brother recently had the Watchman procedure done. I have been in Dr. LeLeiko's care for over 2-years now and she has significantly Improved my heart health (e.g., cholesterol, AFib, etc.). Dr. LeLeiko also has great Insights into my total wellness and how other conditions I have may Interact with my cardiovascular functioning. I feel lucky to have her as my Cardiologist. She is an asset to Emory Healthcare.
