Salvatore C. Lettieri

Five stars are not enough for him. I was diagnosed with partial facial paralysis in 2014. The nerve that controls the right side of my face died. I was devastated to hear, “You will never smile again.” I was referred to Dr. Lettieri I have seen him at both Mayo Clinic and Valleywise hospitals. He gave me hope; his confidence is refreshing. He's always looking for the newest medical advances and let's me know if there is something else he can do. He is a genius in his field. Throughout my journey he has performed over 30 lengthy very medically involved surgeries. He has been honest when telling me my face will never be the same, but if I was willing to get through the hard part it would look better. He taught me how to smile. I have the utmost respect and admiration For how intelligent and empathetic he has been. I'm blessed to have Dr. Lettieri as my trauma surgeon. I've told my family they will go to no other surgeon if they need trauma surgery!!! THE BEST MAN & SURGEON EVER

If you are reading this, things in your life have gone terribly wrong. I am sorry. Dr. L. found me at the burn unit when my face was "fubar." I had been in a terrible car accident with multiple injuries including severe burns to the right side of my face, head, neck and body. I felt like humpty dumpty. Dr. L. slowly and meticulously cut and sewed the pieces back together. Dr. L. gave me the one thing that I thought I could never have, my face back. You can trust him.

There is nobody more talented, more knowledgeable, more skillful, and yet more humble than Dr. Salvatore Lettieri. He is a true physician. He avoids the propagation of misinformation that plagues medicine today. He listens carefully, performs his own exam, and thinks for himself. Believe it or not, that's hard to come by these days. You can't find a better reconstructive surgeon today than Dr. Lettieri.

My favorite surgeon of all time is Dr. Salvatore Lettieri. After meeting with several surgeons and even having several surgeries in Cleveland; every time I walked away with "Your face will never be the same and there is nothing more anyone can do for you" From the 1st time I met Dr. Lettieri at The Mayo Clinic in Arizona I knew he was special; he immediately had a plan of action and was willing to give me some Hope when no one else would or could. I am still under his care, have had over 25 surgeries with him and simply respect and adore him. If you are looked for a miracle worker, a surgeon who thinks out of the box; a trauma plastic surgeon look no further. Every one I love will be seeing him and no one else if ever needed.

Dr Lettieri is not only the best clinical surgeon, he's the best person I've ever come in contact with in healthcare. His true goal with every patient is to have them leave better than when they came in. Dr Lettieri has solutions, with no excuses. Dr Lettieri changed my life forever and I will never be able to repay him for the difference he made in my life.

The man saved my skull and repaired my face after a serous car accident. At first I thought he had a god complex. I was wrong. He is just that good.

Dr. Lettieri is my favorite surgeon EVER. He is compassionate, knowledgeable and extremely confident in every procedure he performs. I have never felt nervous or anxious about any decisions he has made in health care. I have partial facial paralysis, three surgeons before Dr. Lettieri told me I will never smile again....Dr. Lettieri is helping my smile to come back. I simply adore him!

I highly recommend Dr. Lettieri--his skill and knowledge is unprecedented. He took time to explain all procedures and showed great compassion and kindness toward a sensitive diagnosis of partial facial paralysis. When all other doctors gave me no hope for a facial nerve regeneration, Dr. Lettieri has. In the past 6 years I have undergone 28 surgeries, 6 of them with Dr. Lettieri--I will never see another trauma surgeon--

Dr. Lettieri was an absolute saint. I was put in his care when I was in a life threatening accident in 2008. I was a very young mother and wife, and there was a very real chance I would lose my leg. He worked very hard and collaborated well with other staff to make sure my quality of life was restored to as close to "pre accident" as possible. He coordinated care, rehab, and everything else I needed he was genuinely concerned for my physical, mental, and emotional health. He has a bit of a "bark", but it's usually directed at staff that doesn't follow his directions. His nurses are amazing, and he makes sure he knows every detail of your case. He performed close to thirty procedures on me, and I am happy to say, I am almost as good as new. He's a saint... No doubt. If I ever find myself in a position to need surgery again, he is the only doctor I will trust to take care of me.

One of the BEST Surgeon's in AZ !!! He knows his practice !!!
