Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My name is Dana Hext, Dr. Miranda performed my Mastectomy in July and removed all of my cancer, Thank you Lord & Dr. Miranda!After seeing him several times, it came about I needed a colonoscopy. The first doctor who came to first was Dr. Miranda. No one likes to have a Colonoscopy, but I felt very comfortable going back to him. I’m still under his care from my breast cancer, I’ve become very attached to him and his staff.I can’t say enough good things about Regina who is the office manager. To this day if I need anything I call her and she’s so helpful, even if it’s not related to her job she directs me.The nurses in the office are amazing as well, sometimes I feel like they’re my family, I can tell them anything and I believe they genuinely care!I left a review a couple of months ago after my 1st surgery but I feel Dr. Miranda and his staff need to be Recognized once again.

Awesome Doctor and support staff
I was referred to Dr. Miranda by my doctor for umbilical hernia. I was a bit scared for the process and procedure but Dr. Miranda put all my worries to bed. He educated me in a way I could understand my issue and the process to resolve. The support staff was prompt and kept up with me during my journey. Dr. Miranda completed my surgery that went very well and communicated my next steps and continued living habits I should inherit to prevent my issue again. Office staff was awesome and made my visits feel personal and not business like. If you are looking to get some help and are scared by all means check him and the staff out. They will get you the help you need and eliminate any worries you may have.

Words cannot describe the stellar level of care that I receive from Dr. Miranda. Less than 5 minutes after meeting him, he had my confidence and heart. He is VERY PATIENT, DETAILED ORIENTED, HONEST, CARING and CONCERNED about not only me as a patient but even more concerned how to approach treatment while making you feel, everything is going to be okay and from that point on he had my full cooperation. His bedside manner wants me to be compliant to EVERYTHING that he tells me to do or suggests that I do, if he suggests something he tells you why! His office staff is also very friendly, efficient and accommodating. I will always remember his 1st words to me 'Ms. Ray, when you get to heaven, it will not be because of cancer'! My heart melted. When he did my surgery he came in and sat at my head and looked me in the eye and said 'talk to me'....'what do you want to know' he could tell I was nervous, but all that immediately went away, JUST KNOWING that GOD and Dr. Miranda had me.

I have a high esteem for Dr. Miranda. He did not only do an outstanding outpatient laparoscopic surgery in the abdomen area on me but prior to also successfully performed a delicate surgical procedure on my wife. In both cases, Dr. Miranda took the time to patiently explain in full details all the option available to the patient, the reasons and timing for the procedure, what to expect prior/during the surgery but also during the recovery period. Everything went as expected and both my wife and I went back to live a normal life since then. Without reservations and/or hesitation, I fully recommend Dr. Miranda for your surgery needs.

I'm seeing him now. Very good doctor who has ensured that my psychological well being is also taken care of. My husband sought second and third opinions but got convinced that Dr. Miranda is for sure who I need like I'd told him before. May God bless his practice, staff and himself.

Dr. Miranda is an exceptional surgeon and person. He is very kind, listens attentively and explains everything patiently and professionally. He never rushes you and always makes sure your to answer questions at a level that anyone can understand. He performed a simple mastectomy and an IV infusion port for me. Both came out exceptionally well without complications. I would recommend Dr. Leonidas Miranda without hesitation to anybody and everybody looking for a fantastic surgeon.

I was in need of a general surgeon when I was referred to Dr. Miranda by a previous patient. He never made me feel rushed during the appointments; he took his time explaining things to me and examining me. His office staff was friendly and professional and got me an appointment quickly. I had a need to contact Dr. Miranda in the middle of the night and he responded quickly and compassionately and made arrangements at the hospital so when I got there I wasn't waiting hours in the ER. Excellent MD
