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.

Dr. Leon has saved my life with 6 procedures since 1996. He has stented my Left Main and its junction with the LAD, CCA and RCA when all others would have mandated a heart bypass. His knowledge, patience, professionalism, genuine patient caring, and ability to explain the most complex issues in simple English is beyond any rating system or words that I can use for praise. The entire staff that I came in contact with at Columbia NYP spoke of him in a reverence of the utmost respect and admiration. I am alive for the past 24 years because of him, and am appreciative beyond words. All 6 procedures were performed without any complications or problems; 5 of which were done at Columbia NYP, and the first in Washington DC. He is the finest doctor and surgeon I have ever known in my 70 years. This world and the cardiac medical practice is a better place because of him. Thank you Dr. Leon, from the very bottom of my mended heart.

Dr. Leon is an exemplary doctor who has my highest rating for his intelligence, knowledge and the manner in which he communicates with his patients. He made me feel completely at ease about a very serious health issue. I would highly recommend him to do any and all procedures that he is trained to perform. He is a leader in the field of Interventional Cardiology and after meeting with him it is easy to understand why.
