She is so wonderful! Appreciated your professionalism, care and concern. Her post visit note reflected how well she listened to my history and concerns. Being a RN in healthcare for over 35 years, I'm so impressed and thankful that I found her!

Dr. Carranza Leon is a superb physician and has taken great management over my lipids. She is thoughtful, explains everything well, gives me encouragement and keeps me on track with my care. She is wonderful. I would refer her to any of my friends and loved ones for care. Vanderbilt is VERY lucky to have her.

If I could give this provider a higher score than 5, I would do it. She is the most caring and compassionate provider I have ever had. She is a wonderful doctor and a wonderful person. She goes above and beyond in her care and always has a positive attitude which helps me as a patient to have a positive attitude.
