Leonard N. Girardi, MD

I would like to express my deepest and most sincere appreciation to Dr. Girardi for the exceptional care he provided to me. Going through heart surgery is one of the most frightening and vulnerable experiences a person can face. From the beginning, Dr. Girardi gave me confidence that I was in extraordinarily capable hands. His knowledge, skill, dedication, and compassion meant more to me and my family than words can fully express. I am especially grateful not only for his remarkable surgical expertise, but also for the care and commitment he showed throughout my journey. Because of Dr. Girardi and the work he does, I have been given the opportunity to move forward with my life with a healthier heart and a renewed appreciation for every day. There are certain people you never forget because of the difference they make in your life. Dr. Girardi is one of those people for me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Dr. Girardi, for your extraordinary care, your dedication to your… patients, and for everything you have done for me. My family and I will always be profoundly grateful.

My initial meeting with Dr. Leonard N. Girardi and working with his staff, was excellent. He gave the time and explanations for me to decide my current situation and the best path to pursue. At 68 years old, I have been blessed with never needed any surgery. He left me feeling mostly ready to have open heart surgery. Wow

Virtual appointment was enlightening. I appreciated Dr. Girardi's patience and expertise

Dr. Girardi did bypass surgery on my husband 21 years ago. In reading the reviews I see that he is still the most wonderful doctor ever. At the time he made us feel confident and safe. He answered all of our questions and we felt secure in knowing that he would be doing his surgery. We were not wrong in having him take care of my husband.

Dr. Girardi took his time to explain to me and my wife the surgery in great detail and gave us the comfort that I am in great hands. I am very happy that I have Dr. Girardi's team in charge of my care

Shortly into a consultation visit with Dr Girardi, one immediately senses his medical acumen, his dedication to cardiothoracic surgery and his calm demeanor. He was fully apprised on the intricate details of my condition. He answered my questions thoroughly, citing corroborative scientific data and rationale for treatment approach. I felt respected as a patient and sensed a genuine empathy from him.

Clear and concise in his communication. Highly analytical and competent.

Sitting with Dr. Girardi and hearing his take on and solutions for my aorta and leaky valve situation felt like sitting with the pilot Chesley Sullenberger who landed an airplane in the Hudson River. You have EXTREME confidence in his abilities, judgement, knowledge and ability to deal whatever comes up during an open heart procedure...! I strongly recommend Dr. Girardi as your first, second, or third opinion. You will not be disappointed and you will walk away a much more informed patient.

It is a real comfort to me having Dr.Girardi as my Cardio Arch Anyurism Speacialist. I know I'm in good hands with him. I want to also thank his entire staff for making me feel better about my condition...Thank You Dr.G

Although there was a long lead time to get an appointment, the office was very thorough and efficient. Dr. Girardi was amazing. I highly recommended him as your thoracic surgeon.
