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.

AGNES procedure
I am a 19 year old college student in Louisiana, and I have struggled with hyperhydrosis for as long as I can remember. The problem got to be so bad that I would have to change shirts multiple times a day. I heard about Dr. Legget in Houston and the AGNES procedure. It was amazing! The procedure took about an hour. It was totally painless, and the results have been great. Dr. Leggett did a great job at explaining how the procedure works and what to expect. Thank you Dr. Leggett!

Dr. Leggett was very thorough, professional, and kind. He explained every procedure he needed to do and made us feel comfortable. His staff was courteous. We were offered warm blankets several times while waiting. I would recommend Dr. Leggett to anyone.

Very professional and caring. Thoroughly explains diagnosis and options, which makes me comfortable going into surgery. Technically skilled, meaning procedures go quickly, less time under anesthesia. Follows up and monitors post-procedure. Seeing a surgeon can never be called a great experience, but if I need a surgeon, I will not go anywhere else.

I had surgery 1 year ago getting my gallbladder removed and a hernia fixed. I have had nothing but problems since. I have lost over 65 pounds due to being nauseated all the time and I now have been diagnosed with gastric paresis due to something that went wrong during surgery. Save your time and body go to someone else.

Leggett nearly killed me with lap-band surgery Aug 10, 2005. I have had severe complications since that time. He stuck the Trochar through my iliac artery, placing me in ICU! My physician now calls me "The Leggett Nightmare." DO NOT let this man perform surgery on you!!

I have used Dr. Leggett for many years. He performs my colonoscopies & esphogus scopes. He also performed a Lap Nissen that has made me 100% better. No issues with reflux after that procedure was performed. I highly recommend Dr. Leggett. He informs you of the options & an explanation of any procedure is clearly explained.

Recently had hernia surgery performed by Dr. Leggett and from the first visit to the follow up I could not have been more pleased with the experience. Dr. Leggett put me at ease with the whole process and both him and his office were very accommodating to me and my many questions. I hope to never need another operation but if I do I will be using Dr. Leggett and would recommend him to family and friends.

This man is Horrible! He almost killed me September of 2014. Gallbladder surgery gone wrong! Nicked my liver when removing my gallbladder and insisted i be cut the length of my torso for the surgery because there was something that morphed itself in the lining of my stomach (from 1991 surgery). See my Google Review for more.
