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.

Best surgeon and medical team
I have had several close calls in my life, however, I never felt as well protected as I was with Dr. Leone and his team. I first met this team in 2017 and then in 2025. This latest meet could have left me debilitated. Dr Leone and his team worked diligently to ensure I had the best possible outcomes. From beginning to end and beyond the treatment period...I feel they are always there. PA Tamara Hudak is amazing. I was always able to reach out to her with my concerns and she responded quickly. During my visits with PA's Tamara and Justin Bartl, Dr. Leone always came in to check on my progress and concerns. Justin was great at the hospital and the clinic. Their follow up is just one of kind. Dr. Leone is super thorough, kind and at the top of his field. In addition, he has surrounded himself with a great staff. From the time you are greeted at the front office you feel this great sense of peace knowing you are in great hands.

Worked Wonders
I had Dr. Leone perform knee replacements on both knees. The right knee in 2015 and left knee in 2018. I had knee pain for decades and now I have none. Last summer (2021), I hiked 192 miles in 12 days on the Appalachian Trail with zero pain. I have recommended several people over the past 7 years. I would never use anyone else.

Total knee Replacement Failure
i had serious knee trouble right after the total knee replacement. I had 8 months of PT which didnt solve the many problems resulting from the tkr. Dr Leone did not know what to do about it from the very beginning and after a year and two months still has no resolution. It is a mystery how a robotic assisted knee replacement can have a worse result and more discomfort than before the surgery. I regret using Dr Leone as he never seemed to have the answers, from whether to do a tkr or a partial knee replacement to show he even cared about the fact that I suffered through this from the beginning, still have ongoing lateral knee pain and even walking more than a few blocks can be painful.

Great New Hip
It’s been almost 4 months since I had a total right hip replacement by Dr. Leone and I am nearly back to perfect. I lost the horrid pain and limp almost immediately. His PA Tammy was amazing, if I had any questions or concerns she would call me back within minutes…she was incredibly patient with me. The nurses and staff at Holy Cross surgical department were caring and nurturing. The entire experience was A+. Thank you Dr. Leone. - Wendy

Not Recommended!!!
Dr Leone did a total hip replacement on me in 2009. Still have pain..all the time…that I live with. Have to see a pain management Dr because of it. Went back to Dr Leone twice, after a year and after 4 years. At 4 years he said there’s a little loosening but that’s normal. He then folded his hands, looked at me and said, “There’s nothing more I can do for you”.

Dr Leone as well as his support staff stand far above any previous experience. After a failed knee replacement 7 months ago and a disappointing experience with the surgeon I met Dr Leone and he performed a revision of my knee surgery. 7 months of excruciating pain day and night and Dr Leone removed the new knee and replaced it. One hour after coming out of recovery room and I felt sore but the Pain that I lived with for so long was no longer. I will be forever grateful to the doc and his wonderful attentive and caring staff. Follow up calls days later to make sure I was feeling alright. Dr Leone, your reputation is well deserved and my husband and I are truly amazed at the remarkable difference you have made in our lives. TY. A.S. Boca Raton. And BTW. 5 stars is not enough

Dr. Leone is an exceptional surgeon. His office and support personnel are professional and very caring. Holy Cross Hospital was the best. I had hip surgery and was walking normally in a few weeks and "as good as new" in about 6 weeks. I did a 60 mile bile ride 2 months after surgery with no pain. I have recommended a number of friends to Dr. Leone and they have all had similar experiences.

I am a practicing physician in Palm Beach and chose Dr. Leone. I just had my right hip replaced and am extremely happy with Dr. Leone, his staff and Holy Cross. I put mine off for years (typical of us doctors) and was trying to decide where to go and who would do it. I was initially leaning to where I trained at HSS in NY when one of my partners recommended Dr. Leone. I couldn’t have made a better choice. Incredibly caring, nice and competent. Dr. Leone gets my highest recommendation.

Needed revision hip surgery due to a recall. Spent two years researching and visiting doctors in south Florida to find one who had done enough revisions to know what he was doing. When I saw Dr. Leone for the first time, I knew he was the one to do my surgery. He is knowledgeable and experienced along with being kind and compassionate. His technique and procedures are so professional. Revisions are complicated and very involved, but he knew what he was doing and so does his staff!

Dr. Leone recently replaced my Mother's hip. He had redone my aunt's hip that was not done correctly by another surgeon, so I had faith in his abilities from the start. He was one of the most compassionate and reassuring physicians I have met. He explained things clearly, so we understand completely the problem and what he proposed to do. When I saw my Mother walking with minimal pain 24 hours after surgery, it brought tears to my eyes. Dr. Leone is a great physician whom I highly recommend.

Dr. Leone is exceptionally gifted surgeon. My knee replacement was on Jan. 16 and I can't say enough on my recovery. I highly, highly recommend to anyone needing knee/hip replacement to pay the Dr. a visit for a consult. You won't be disappointed. In fact, I'm looking forward to having my other knee done.

Had right knee replaced over a year ago. I am pain free Started full time work in less then 2 months after surgery. I'm a bicyclist. I can ride for hours and hit speeds of 40 mph. Feel like a little kid at 62. He is the best of the best. He has written books and designed things for the surgery. And teaches others how to. Friendly also. And his staff is incredible. Love everything about and around him. I was blessed to find him.

The most amazing experience in a Doctors office. The receptionist Marilu is outstanding, makes you feel welcome the second you step in the office . Dr Leone is the best doctor I have ever visited. Extremely smart and pleasant . I had and accident where I had my legs broken. After a bad experience with other doctors Dr. Leone, Tammy Hudak was the bravest PA that agreed to assist in a very complicated surgery... The best doctor practice ever!!
