I have never been more pleased with a drs consultation. He listens , he cares , he understands. i feel that i am in the best possible hands. I know that whatever the continued care and my test results conclude, i will trust that my on going care will be the right, and best decision for my treatment. he knew my past experience at another facility , my chart , my history and what i had been through. I am happy to have found him. I feel lucky. Lenox Hill really pays attention to each individual and treats their patients with respect.

Dr. Lazzaro is a brilliant physician and technician. In addition, he is an insightful and caring human being who puts his patients first. Following lung cancer surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in March, 2019, I was able to return home in 3 days with minimal discomfort and my recovery has been much easier than expected. Dr. Lazzaro made a frightening diagnosis as manageable as possible and he and his team have been supportive and concerned throughout this entire experience. I am so grateful.

I recently had esophageal surgery that included part of my upper stomach valve. I was referred to Dr. Lazzaro by my gastroenterologist and I couldn't be happier. He was thorough, listened to my concerns and helped me make the right decision for my course of treatment.
Dr. Lazzaro used state of the art technology, with which he is obviously an expert. His entire staff was fantastic in responding to my inquiries and questions as well.
I can't recommend him enough.

Dr. Lazzaro is nothing short of a miracle worker. He treated my daughter like she was family. He made us feel extremely comfortable with not the most comfortable diagnosis to get. We were in his office and admitted the same day..operated on and finally my daughter was able to breath again!! Can't thank him enough for changing my daughters life!!

There is simply no better Doctor or human being than Doctor Lazzaro. My dad was struggling with health issues for years and Doctor Lazzaro was instrumental in helping him get the care and guidance he needed. He is the rare breed of Doctor who has as much heart and intelligence as he has skill and experience. I trust him implicitly with my life and with my family's life.

I was referred to Dr. Lazzaro by my gastroenterologist and I am so thankful to have met him. I recently had hiatal hernia surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital with Dr. Lazzaro as my surgeon. I would highly recommend him as he is absolutely the best of the best.

I had the laparoscopic, robotic-assisted repair of para-esophageal hiatal hernia with partial Nissen fundoplication by Dr. Lazzaro in October 2016. I found Dr. Lazzaro to be a very caring and compassionate as well as highly skilled surgeon. I was actually terrified before this surgery, although I thought I did a pretty good job of hiding it from everyone! Dr. Lazzaro answered all my questions before the surgery, I did very well, and he and his staff handled my follow-up issues promptly.

Doctor Lazzarro has saved my life.
I had lung cancer and a tumor on my spine. I just had surgery on June 14, 2016. He is the most caring , compassionate person. He truly cares about his patients. Always visiting his patients very early in the morning before he begins his other surgeries and when he's done , Dr. Lazzarro does his rounds again to visit his patients in the hospital. I truly admire him . He's a very dedicated doctor, I wouldn't trade him for any other surgeon.

I was diagnosed with Thymoma. My primary highly recommended Dr. Lazzaro, for consultation.
From my first visit I felt at ease. He described my condition in detail and
the treatment required. It has now been one month since my successful surgery and am getting stronger each day.
It has been a pleasure being under the care of Dr. Lazzaro and his staff at Lenox Hill Hospital. I have been given a new lease on life. Thanks Dr. Lazzaro.

Dr. Lazzaro is a ,wonderful surgeon. His robotic surgery leaves you in minor, almost non-existent pain and results in a very quick recovery. There is no need to look further than Dr. Lazzaro. You're not going to find better than him in skill and kindness.
