Featured Review
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
