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.

I had a mitral valve replaced on March 6, 2019, by Dr. Leavitt. I cannot say enough positive about him and his staff. Before the surgery I could not climb a set of stairs without difficulty (I'm 75 years old). Now, after 36 sessions of Cardio Rehab, I work out 3 times a week at a local gym and can climb stairs without difficulty. Dr. Leavitt is a credit to his profession and we're very fortunate to have him at the University of Vermont.

Dr. Leavitt was extremely competent and confident - two qualities we needed in a surgeon. He performed my husband's surgery quickly and expertly and has a lovely beside manner to boot! We highly recommend him and his team at UVM Medical Center.
