Raymond Leonard, MD

Dr. Raymond Leonard joined the anesthesiology team at Gifford in 2018. He finds performing regional anesthesia blocks using ultrasound guidance, the ability to have a patient emerge pain-free from surgery, and taking care of pediatric patients the most rewarding aspects of his work. A father of four, Dr. Leonard shared, “When my daughter Harper was 6 days old she underwent open-heart surgery. All went well and she is healthy and needs no further care. That experience drove home to me just how vulnerable we all can be at any time in our life. Sensitivity to the vulnerabilities we all have has made me a better physician.” He completed his residency at Tufts University-Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA, and is certified with the American Board of Anesthesiology. He earned his medical degree from Loyola University Chicago in Illinois and a bachelor’s degree from Fairfield University in Connecticut.
