Patient Reviews
Mar 22, 2018
Dr. Leon is a nice, caring doctor able to explain relatively complex procedures in an understandable way. He is good at visiting patients in the hospital post-op. If I have any complaint, it is that I wish he had informed me that I had ended up with a fractured rib as a result of "rib spreading" during my surgery, before I sort of figured that out for myself. Still, it' only a minor complaint. Overall care was excellent.
