Dr. Leggett was filling in at our local hospital when I was admitted for heart attack-like symptoms. When others were ready to send me home, he kept checking and ordering tests until he found the problem. It was an ascending aortic dissection and I could have died within seconds. He personally found an ambulance to take me to a larger hospital where surgery saved me. I can never hope to repay Dr. Leggett for his perseverance, caring and follow-up. He is a Christian follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and lives his belief. One could never find a better cardioligist.

I am so sorry Dr. Leggett is not my Cardiologist anymore because he's the best. I wish he still practiced in our area. When it was discovered I had a faulty aortic heart valve and it would need to be replaced I was terrified. Dr. Leggett was a calm, assured and professional physician. He truly saw me through this journey beginning to end. God bless him.

Dr. Leggett, performed a heart diagnostic procedure on my husband. He was very thorough and professional. He provided information for us and put us at ease by making sure that we understood the procedure and the results. Excellent bedside manner! The highest recommendation for he and his staff.
