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.

Terrible experience
Very rushed. Dr. Leitao and his team try to do a million things at once. Several people in the waiting area were talking about how they also had issues after Dr. Leitao’s surgery. I recommend staying far away from Dr. Leitao and memorial Sloan. Get opinions from Drs not associated with memorial Sloan.

Dr Leitao is a wonderful dr.and surgeon. He is straightforward and answered all questions honestly without sugar coating but he is also compassionate. His skill was the most important thing to me and in that area he excelled. I would definitely recommend him and I hope I never need him again.

There is no doubt I would highly recommend Dr. Leitao to family and friends. He is a caring doctor who takes his time to explain and answer any questions you have. Cancer is scary and its so helpful to find a doctor who truly understands. If you have to have surgery you need a doctor who is skillful and caring and Dr. Leitao is just that.

He had to perform a full hysterectomy on me and managed to do it all laparoscopic. He makes you feel confident in his skills and I highly recommend him.
