Dr. Zachary Joemaranar Leshen, MD

My 73 year old father had open heart/double bypass surgery 4 wks ago. Dr. Leshen was his primary cardiologist. He sent him to a cardiac thoracic surgeon in his office bc my dad was not a candidate for stints. My dad was released from the hospital 4 days later. 2 days later he was readmitted for dehydration/not urinating. He was released the next day but ended up back in the ER 3 more times, taken once by ambulance because he passed out. Finally a hospitalist admitted him. By this point my dad was very weak, had lost 16 lbs and not able to stand without his blood pressure dropping. Dr. Leshen came in to see him and looked at him and said "Eat, drink and get off your butt or you're going to a nursing home. There's nothing wrong with your heart." It was incredibly uncompassionate and cruel. My dad never received the aftercare promised. No home nurses, therapists, nothing. The hospital and doctors failed him. Dr. Leshen should be ashamed.

Best ever
