Alex Lesani, MD

Dr. Lesani discovered a cancerous tumor in my bladder and removed it right away. What was supposed to be an outpatient procedure ended up being a 5-​day hospital stay (not the fault of the doctor, just more going on than initially thought). I give Dr. Lesani 5 stars for the surgery, 3 stars for his communication and his office staff 1 star because of their lack of follow up. I had to personally remind them to order the pre-​op tests (they forgot), get insurance pre-​approval and send over the correct paperwork. They made a few errors which thankfully I caught. If you call the office with questions for the doctor or about your procedure, consider yourself lucky if you get a response within 3 or 4 days.

Dr Lesani did a great job removing a cancerous tumor from my husbands kidney. I would have given him a much higher rating but he was frustratingly slow communicating with the hospital during the 76 hours after surgery, delaying modifications to standing orders like meds, ingestion of food and discharge. These delays were stressful, painful and potentially hindered recovery.

I went to Dr. Lesani a few years ago for a robotic surgery on my kidney.
Up until my surgery was over, he was kind, patient, and very caring.
AFTER the surgery however, when I would end up in the hospital (for a different condition. He is a good surgeon, and the surgery was successful) He became defensive, abrasive, and mean, saying things like «The surgery was successful!» Um… yeah, I know it was… but what else is going on with my kidney?
Not to mention the fact that he left a surgical clip inside me.
His office staff is ok, and his surgical skills are the only reason he is getting 2 stars. His bedside manner and interpersonal skills need serious help.
