About the Provider
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.
Before joining Emory faculty, Dr. LeLeiko practiced as a general cardiologist and vascular medicine specialist at Boston Veterans’ Affairs Healthcare System.

Dr. LeLeiko served as Assistant Professor of Medicine at Boston University and as Lecturer of Medicine at the Harvard School of Medicine. She is board-certified in internal medicine, general cardiology, echocardiography, vascular medicine and vascular ultrasound interpretation.
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.

This was my first appt with Dr. Leleiko. She was thorough and took her time with me.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/8/2025
I nearly canceled my appt because it seemed unnecessary due to the original nature of why I was referred to 6 months ago, but family encouraged me to keep it because of family history. Dr Leleiko was wonderful and asked questions I'd not considered, unrelated to my original visit. I did not feel like it was a waste or her or my time. She seems very thorough and truly listens which is quite refreshing.

I received glad tidings of my blood work numbers tha had been ordered from my Emory nephew that morning abd available to see most lab results, but not all. So she happily shared that I was not in need in a cardiac POC. She assured ne that I'd receive her ASV and card for any future need, so I was cleared from future care during this firestorm encounter/medical vidt, unless medically necessary. She informed that her practicing physician care would be given to me, along with the ASV. She aas quick to duscern, informm, discerning, yet .aming sure to provide medical information and her decision with a light flair to keep our consultation up beat.
