my exp. was very brief....it was cold and i felt out of place.....hardly a question as to why i was there and what for.....i could go on but i do not enjoy bad mouthing....i refuse to let anyone spoil my God given day......i do wish the very best for this doctor esp. to help folk in need when dealing with the unknown and life threathing problems....if you need comfort and medical help i would suggest go to some one else...maybe i just landed on a bad day this doctor is human with feelings that most of us have from time to time.....still again, may God bless you and place some understanding and warmness in your heart.

Have seen him 3 times for a total of about 12 minutes. Brushes off your concerns. Real eager to prescribe additional test$. Do yourself a favor early on; go elsewhere.

He spent a whole 2 minutes with me. When I told him about my discomfort, he did not ask any questions. He was gone before I could ask any questions. Assembly line treatment. This was on 2 visits.

I have to agree with the May 11th, 2021 review. I saw Dr.(and I use that term loosely) DeLeon just about 2 years ago, and just getting over the trauma he put me through. No real testing. Wanted to increase my medication from 2.5mg to 10mg. which I refused. He put me on a mobile heart monitor for 30 days and within 2 weeks calls me into his office and tells me I need a pacemaker ASAP. I went to a 2nd doctor with the results of the monitor and he said he couldn't find any indication I need a pacemaker. This 2nd doctor did a stress test, an ultra-sound and ran a cath through my vain to my heart. He changed some of my meds, added suppliments and told me of a blockage that can be controlled. He checks my blood every 3 months for now, and the readings have all come down to normal levels. When I asked DeLeon about diets and supplements he didn't seem the least concerned. He just brushed it off.

Dr. De Leon and his staff were great. He recommended a hybrid procedure that shortened my recovery time to a better outcome.
