5.0 star star star star starDr Lesniak has been so wonderful. He has been professional, kind, and caring! He has reassured me through the process of monitoring my meningioma over the past 3 years. Although I am fearful of my upcoming surgery to remove the tumor, I have confidence in his skills as a top neurosurgeon in the country.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Lesniak always made sure I understood the process and procedures. He took all the time we needed to explain and answer questions (even the tough ones). I felt like I had the best care possible at the hospital. I always felt important and cared for. He’s a great surgeon. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

5.0 star star star star starI saw Dr Lesniak 2 years ago for a second opinion after a diagnosis of a pituitary adenoma. He was able to communicate with me and my family better than any physician I had seen previously. After that meeting I knew I would continue my care with him.
