I've had Leoni for multiple stomach surgeries and scopes. He's always very professional and I always gives me great referrals if needed! He works with my mother and has a great bedside manner and she says he always asks about me. Love Dr. Leoni!

Dr Leoni has been my and my husbands surgeon for 15 years and during that time I have had several difficult surgeries as has my husband. There is no surgeon that we trust more than Dr Leoni who is one of the most caring, kind ,efficient and effective doctors. He genuinely cares for his patients and their well being, checks his patients at least twice a day, morning and evening, has a great sense of humor and a reassuring bedside manner. He spends considerable time reviewing his patients history, and is completely honest about his ability or non ability to conduct specific surgeries. This man has saved my husband's life twice and has saved mine three times. He does not hesitate to refer to, request advice from or call in other medical professionals if necessary. Most recently I owe my life to his willingness to consult with other surgeon more experienced in other medical fields when required . Thanks to him he called in another professional who ended up having to do a "Hail Mary" surgery that Leoni was unable to do, hence saving me from the grave. We cannot say enough good things about this man and his excellent staff members who went way beyond the call of duty to help in a time of crisis and need.

13 yrs.ago, I was referred to Leoni for breast augmentation. (I did not imagine I would soon lose my breasts) He is not a plastic surgeon or specialized in this field, I learned, too late. Following a botched procedure, which Leoni has never acknowledged remorse for, I was left to suffer severe trauma, from the disfigurement, as I could not allow him to touch me further.(he laughed at the results, shrugged off the complete destruction of my breasts and suggested he could rebuild them!) This butcher has caused disfigurement and destroyed my self image with his impulsive decisions, his refusal to be responsible and his arrogant attitude towards my devastating outcome, following surgery. This continues to haunt me. I am still working with a gifted plastic surgeon 12 yrs. later. I seek to prevent anybody from suffering the trauma and disfigurement that I have endured at the hands of Mr. Leoni. I was emotionally unable to pursue malpractice charges in the time given by college of physicians, and can only pray that I can save others from suffering as I have by telling my story in every forum possible...please do not let this man do further harm...

After reading the comments on here, I almost cancelled my surgery with Dr. Leoni. Well thank goodness I didn't! I had a breast reduction in April and couldn't be more happy with the results. Yes - Dr. Leoni will question your weight and your habits but he should. This is his job and your unhealthy habits could absolutely hinder the results of your surgery. So don't get offended and listen. He answered all my questions and the entire procedure went great. Also, the girls in the office are amazing! They helped calm my fears many times!

A very bad experience for me!!!!! He did my emergency c-section with my eldest son. I had 3 bags of blood, 2 of saline & 2 of plasma after the surgery, and I was on a morphine drip for 4 days! ALARMING in itself, since the average person only has 4-5 litres of blood in their body. What I found even more alarming was that my ex-husband was told by the assisting doctor that I had over 200 stitches, all except 3 were on the inside!!, but when I inquired about the surgery from my medical file I was told that I had a “perfectly routine c-section”!!!! That doesn’t sound to me like a “perfectly routine c-section”!!!! My second c-section most certainly wasn’t even remotely similar!!!

I just had a breast reduction done by Dr.Leoni, and I am very happy with it. I was a little worried about seeing him after reading some of the comments. He did seem rushed when I went for the consult, and follow up appts, but he answered all my questions, explained the risks, and had a great sense of humor. He had a good bed side manner at the hospital as well. I would have no problem going back to him again if I need any more surgery.

Thank you to Dr Leoni for the the care he showed my mother while she was in the hospital. My mother would tell me how much time/compassion you showed her, she said she could see it in your eyes (that you cared). The family would like to thank you getting her in to see the specialist so fast. Most of all I’d like to thank you for listening to mom, she has been going to doctors for the past 4 yrs telling them something was wrong and no one listened. Now she has gallbladder cancer and has spread to the liver. Thank you for listending to mom and treating her with kindness.

Has a tendancy to blame problems on the patients weight, and to not give painkillers until after procedures (Not surgeries of course; Procedures like keeping wounds open to drain)

I was 19 years old, had a breast reduction and panniculectomy(not as good as a tummy tuck!) I was never seen or contacted by Leoni again. He tore my mom into pieces, trying to avoid responsibility. College of Physicians is investigating him. 9 months after my pann. my lower abdomen was tender and swollen, I gently pressed and OMG! pus began to pour out, I had to use a cup, and it filled! I was on massive antibiotics,my docs say it was likely from poor hygiene after surgery or a material left behind. I have to get an ultrasound/blood tests regularly for next year at least. Leoni was sent info. regarding this, he never contacted the doctor or me. Leoni is a ****, if he makes a mistake, Canada is very difficult to sue any doctor. This guy needs to be sued, acccountable is some way.I have no belly button, just a lump,scarring is major, even though I seldom scar, no breast sensitivity, blobby nipples. Leoni sucks. J
