Dr. John Leonetti, MD

I went to Dr. Leonetti as a second opinion regarding a pre-cancerous tumor in a salivary gland. I chose Dr. Leonetti to perform my surgery after the very thorough visit I had with him. He explained everything to me regarding the diagnosis and his recommendation for treatment in lay-men terms that I could understand. He had visuals for me to look at also to have a good understanding of where the tumor was located and how the surgery would be done. The surgery was successful with minimal scarring. His staff and support from his nurse, anesthesiologist, and after care support was at the highest level of professionalism! He gave me a feeling of peace knowing that I have reduced my odds of cancer! I highly recommend Dr. Leonetti!

Dr Leonetti did surgery on my ear for a cholesteatoma. He than did a second surgery to install a titanium implant for hearing. The implant did not work but we are now going forward with surgery for a cochlear implant. He always takes the time to really explain things and answer my questions. He's got great bedside manner. Highly recommend him.

John P Leonetti was so greedy, arrogant, saying your have to visit and surgery at Loyola only not any other hospital and rushing to do surgery without thinking or second opinion.

My initial thoughts were, what a wonderful doctor and complete trust. After 3 surgeries and a highly recommendation from another ENT, we kept going to him. After the 3rd surgery, we were told he had put a plastic plate in my son's ear. Due to this being a foreign object, his body started to attack this & my son's ear became horribly infected. I went back to my original ENT & was told to never go back to Dr. Leonetti. I was referred to another ENT in Wheaton, He couldn't believe what was done to my son. I will never recommend this Doctor to anyone. PLEASE , PLEASE do the research....

Dr. Leonetti was my surgeon for my vestibular schwannoma. He is so much more than a world class surgeon. I chose to come to Loyola, not close to my home because of him and Dr. Anderson. There is no doctor like him. He goes above and beyond.

I have been going to Dr Leonetti for years. His staff has always been kind, friendly and helpful. All of my appointments were not rushed and Dr Leonetti always answers my questions as well as explaining what is going on. No other Dr that I have gone to has helped my hearing issues until I went to Dr Leonetti. I come from out of state but it is well worth my time.

Dr leonetti is the best ent in the state. 2 successful surgeries and visits are quick and friendly

25 years ago, Dr Leonetti discovered a 4 mm Acoustic Neuroma in my brain. He removed it and I've been fine ever since. And all these years later, he made such an impression on me that I've never forgotten him. He was FANTASTIC. If you are in need of his specialty, I would HIGHLY recommend him. Anyone who you can remember this fondly after 25 years is obviously someone who leaves an impression. Thank you, Dr Leonetti, I will never forget you!! Five stars out of five, for sure!!

Dr. Leonetti is the best Doctor anyone could have. Three years ago today he operated on my ear for cancer of the external auditory canal. This is an extremely rare condition and outcomes are usually not very good. He is very knowledgeable and caring and I am so very grateful to him. He saved my life! No need to say anymore than that.

I had an ear tymeanoplasty of the ear a promised 30 minute 99% success rate. Doctor does 9 a month no problem. Hearing should improve and broken ear drum will be repaired. Hearing is gone wearing a hearing aid. Constant ringing of the ears both. Pressure is so bad on that ear it is suggested I put tubes in but that may break the ear drum. Doctor Leonetti just kept telling me to give it time that was in July of 2017. He just dismissed me.

I feel like Dr. Leonetti just dismissed me. He said that my ear, head, eye and throat pain was from a TMJ dysfunction. He never even looked at my throat, he just saw my ears looked normal. He could be right but he certainly didn't make me feel like he wanted to rule out any ENT issues being that I have had recurring ear issues. He was polite but very dismissive. I'm disappointed.

Dr. Lionetti performed surgery on my ear for a cholesteatoma removal 9 months ago. The surgery was a great success my hearing is back better than it was before surgery. He is not only an amazing surgeon he's very pleasant and explains everything so well. He only deals with ears so he is very good at what he does.

Performed a parotidectomy to remove a pleomorphic adenoma, subsequently confirmed as benign. The growth required more complicated surgery than I anticipated but all turned out well, with minimal scarring and no complications with facial nerves. He's an expert! Glad I did some research and found him.

Dr. Leonetti saved my life! At age 38 I was diagnosed with acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland. Turns out the tumor was wrapped around my facial nerve. Dr Leonetti was so caring during such a stressful time in my life. The most talented and professional surgeon. He is outstanding and I am so grateful I found him.

Excellent doctor and very friendly.

Dr. Leonetti is awesome! Thank you so much for giving me my hearing back, very much appreciated. A successful journey. Have a great summer golfing! tom

Wonderful, knowledgeable, warm and caring physician. Had adenoid cystic carcinoma, and ear and neck surgery. Dr. Leonetti is a phenomenal surgeon, and has a great team. Would recommend to everyone.

20 years ago this past May I had surgery with Dr. Leonetti. I Went to him fo a second opinion and was the best decision I ever made. From the first 10 minutes of meeting Dr. Leonetti, I was reassured that I was in the best hands ever. Dr. Leonetti gave me information of what kind of brain tumor I had and explained in detail how it will be removed and the recovery time. Amazing dr!!!

Two years ago my situation was that I had virtually no hearing in my left ear and some hearing loss in my right ear. At that time, I began having issues in my right ear and I was told that eventually, if untreated, I would probably lose hearing in my right ear. After two surgeries, my hearing in the left ear has been significantly restored and my right ear issues have been corrected. The net result is, I now hear better now than I did 2 years ago. Thank You Dr. Leonetti Robert C. Godawa

EXTREMELY knowledgeable, capable, trustworthy, and very skilled.
