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 met Dr Legnani while hospitalized at Mount Sinai 15 years ago. I have been a patient of his ever since. He is kind, intelligent, caring, and has a wonderful bed side manner. I don’t trust anyone else with my GI care.

The most caring doctor I’ve ever had in my life.
My visit was what I always expect when seeing Dr. Legnani. He covers all the bases and I always feel like I’m talking with a friend who happens to be a doctor. That being said, Dr. Legnani has always answered my messages on the patient portal within an hour! I feel like I’m in the best hands and would recommend him to absolutely anyone in need of a gastroenterologist.

GI Medical care
Dr. Legnani was warm in his welcome and immediately approachable. Listened carefully to my questions & gave understandable answers. He directed his responses to a geriatric patient ( I am soon to be 79 yo) and a 5 yr. routine colonoscopy was scheduled( probably the last one I'll need given my age unless issues arrive!)Entire office visit was very professional
