Why People Travel to Have Dr. Leone Do Their Hip or Knee Surgery
Depending upon where you live and the quality of surgical care available to you in your community, traveling out-of-town, out-of-state or maybe even to another country is sometimes necessary to access the best surgical care for a hip or knee replacement and other procedures. Smaller communities simply may not have the expertise and the patient support resources comparable to what is available at the Leone Center for Orthopedic Care at Holy Cross Health in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a well-established, highly respected hospital which treats patients from around the world.
With outstanding credentials and extensive experience, Dr. William Leone is a leader in the field of hip and knee replacement. He has lectured and mentored other orthopedic surgeons, served as chairperson and faculty at symposiums that provide continuing medical education for hip and knee surgeons in the United States, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and over the years has been a sought-after consultant for instrument design and clinical application for orthopedics. Over the course of his illustrious career, Dr. Leone has performed more than 15,000 hip and knee replacements.
One of the many reasons patients seek out Dr. Leone is that his practice is distinguished as a concierge, or boutique surgical practice, solely focused on hip and knee replacement surgery. He and his support staff provide the highest level of attentive, personalized care in a pleasant, unrushed environment. “I treat my patients the way I would want the members of my family to be treated,” says Dr. Leone, who is known for his compassionate bedside manner and sensitivity to all cultures. “Communication is at the heart of our approach and plays a huge role in overall patient care.” His team is fluent in Spanish and English, and the Holy Cross Global Health Department is readily available to provide support in other languages, as needed.
Patients who travel to The Leone Center from places inside or outside the United States are seeking the highest caliber training and resources that only a surgeon of Dr. Leone’s stature can provide. After extensively researching top orthopedic doctors worldwide and comparing references and credentials, many patients determine that Dr. Leone and his team are the best option for the patient-centered care that they seek.
A Total Support System
Planning for surgery involves many pre-operative and post-operative logistics, both surgical and non-surgical. Those who come to Dr. Leone from outside the immediate area have the benefit of an experienced support team to help with the details and ensure that everything goes smoothly.
While most local patients can go home from the hospital on the day of surgery, people who come from out-of-town typically have additional considerations related to travel and other needs. The Team Leone and our Global team are available to facilitate confidential communication and to help patients with their non-medical needs, from arranging VIP post-operative private rooms and meals at Holy Cross to recommending local accommodations, scheduling appointments, and answering questions about payment and other details. They ensure that your necessary medical records are received and facilitate communication between Dr. Leone and your doctor’s office back home.
For patients seeking world-class expertise, compassionate care, and a seamless surgical experience, Dr. Leone and the Leone Center for Orthopedic Care at Holy Cross Health in Fort Lauderdale stand out. Supported by a dedicated team with multilingual services and logistical assistance, patients from around the world can feel confident and well cared for through every stage of their journey.
