Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Replaced my cardiac surgeon on little notice.

Margaret C. – Mar 14, 2023

Because of CAD, I was faced with the prospects of stents or triple bypass. I choose triple bypass, to be performed by Leo Gazoni, MD. The operation went well and Dr. Gazoni followed my progress while in the hospital, visiting me often, showing concern for my well being and offering encouragement. In addition, he sent his PAs/Techs to visit with me on several occasions to discuss my situation and help with healing. My in-home rehab is going well and my final meeting with Dr. Gazoni's Nurse Practitioner Wiggins was informative, where I was cleared to move forward with getting well.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Gazoni for anyone considering open-heart surgery.

I unexpectedly had to enter the Hospital due to some shortness of breath. In a short time it was found I needed bypass Surgery. I was quickly introduced to Dr Gazoni. I immediately knew I was in good hands. He explained what needed to be done in terms that could be understood. He made sure to talk with me and my wife just prior to the Surgery as well. The surgery went well and for the 5 days after Surgery he took the time each day to check on me and answer any question. His team was also outstanding. I am very thankful that my procedure was in the hands of Dr Gazoni and his associates. Highly recommend!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Gazoni and his staff. He was recommended to me by several medical professionals. He put me at ease before my surgery by explaining what procedures would be performed, kept my family informed during surgery and followed up with me after my surgery. I feel real lucky to have had Dr. Gazoni perform my heart surgery.

I needed lung cancer surgery. Lucky for me I found Dr. Gazoni , he is the best.
I had other medical professionals tell me that he was the Dr. that I needed. They all told me that he was my best shot at getting this surgery done right. I am glad I listened.
Thank you Dr. Gazoni.

Dr. Gazoni was recommended to me by a friend for my husband's lung surgery. He was definitely the right choice, not only for his surgical skill, but also for his level of care and concern for the patient and family caregivers. He and his staff of physician assistants, nurse practioners, and nurses are outstanding.

If you are looking for a fantastic surgeon Dr. Leo Gazoni is your man. He is kind, caring and courteous. He and his staff recently took care of me during my recent surgery. I could not have asked for better hands to be placed in, I can't begin to tell you how comfortable I felt with Dr. Gazoni. and his staff. Thank you all for helping me through this very difficult time. I pray I will never need your services again but, if I do I know I will be well taken care of.

Dr. Gazoni performed open heart surgery to remove a cardiac myxoma. Having had no prior heart problems the need for this surgery was quite unexpected. Dr. Gazoni did a great job explaining the procedure and why it was needed. The operation was completely successful and my recovery has been uneventful with no complications. Dr. Gazoni and his team were extemely competent and kind during my time in the hospital.

Dr. Gazoni successfully operated on me on June 5th. From day one, he has been down to earth in explaining all that would go down during this procedure. His demeanor caused me & my wife to like and trust him right from the beginning. There's no way someone would feel uncomfortable around him. He's a super Doctor and person ! I would strongly recommend him and his staff to anyone who needs a surgeon!

I absolutely love this doctor ! He has a great bedside manner along with a fantastic personality. He explains everything in a way that you can understand. I feel that he really cares about his patients and I would recommend him to anyone that might need this type of surgery. Oh, this picture does not do him justice as he is very easy on the eyes and this is coming from a 74 year old woman.
