Dr. Lawrence Scott Hakim, MD

Discriminatory Hostile and Lacking Bedside Manner Stay Away If you expect basic human respect dignity or empathy from a physician do not see Dr Lawrence Hakim. He is an arrogant provider whose blatant prejudice and appalling lack of bedside manner make him completely unfit to practice. A formal grievance has already been officially filed against him with hospital leadership and the patient ombudsman office. Our Experience Unmasked Bias and Hostility My husband and I a same-sex married couple in our 60s had the misfortune of seeing Dr Hakim. After keeping us waiting over 30 minutes he entered the room. I formally introduced my husband to him and stated that I am his husband. The moment Dr Hakim heard this his demeanor turned instantly hostile. He glared at us with a condescending look made a loud rude noise (HMMM) and snapped asking why we were there. Irritated by his blatant disrespect I stepped in and told him we were there for him to treat the patient asking if he had even… reviewed our records and primary care referral. Throughout the consultation he displayed a hostile superior and demeaning attitude. He treated us with pure disdain refused to engage in basic conversation ordered unnecessary tests mumbled something completely incomprehensible at the end gave one final dismissive glare and walked out. He made zero effort to hide his disgust or bias. A Documented Pattern of Abysmal Care Our mistake was not checking feedback beforehand. Looking at feedback from scores of other patients it is clear that his prejudice toward us is layered on top of a well-documented history of terrible patient care. Zero Compassion or Bedside Manner: Countless patients describe him as cold arrogant rude and completely devoid of empathy acting like a robot glued to a screen. Rushed and Dismissive: He treats human beings like items on a quick checklist spending very little time after making patients wait for extended periods. Exploitative Practice: Patients routinely report that he pushes unnecessary scans unneeded tests and irrelevant prescriptions while refusing phone follow-ups just to force and bill extra office visits. No patient should ever be subjected to this level of mistreatment. Dr Lawrence Hakim conduct is a disgrace to the medical profession. We will never return and we strongly urge everyone to avoid this doctor.

Rushes in and out. Breaks his word. Seems to be incredibly arrogant and uncaring. Would say the same for his staff.

Spent under 10 mins on first meeting, brought in intern into consulting room without explaining his presence or introducing him, seemed to arrive at a diagnosis from the get go, pushed me out with a bunch of papers for tests he wanted done with no mention or explanation of what and why, and was dismissive even when I went back and asked what he wanted done and why. I wouldn't go back to him again.

Great Doctor, Definitely a professional!

I was referred to Dr. Hakim at Cleveland Clinic after being butchered by a so-called implant specialist in Miami for my Peyronie's disease. Even though I had to wait a few weeks for the appointment, it was worth the wait. Dr. Hakim and his staff are wonderful. He took his time with us and answered all of my wife's and my concerns. The corrective surgery he performed went great and I was able to go home after the operation with very little discomfort (I had 6 months of pain afer my original procedure in Miami!). Now that I am all healed, my wife and I have our sex life back. I only wish I had gone to him first. I highly recommend Dr. Hakim and his outstanding staff at the Cleveland Clinic.

Dr. Hack'em said that the device for my limpness was a 30 minute simple installation with high success rate. It was supposed to be a piece of cake and I would be 20 yrs old and new. Well, I can tell you that he mangled my size and the device shrunk my manhoodâ??I am talking about my member. It was a real â??hack jobâ??. When I complained to him, Dr. Hack'em told my wife â?? size does not really matterâ?? and then his nurse told me I should lose weight (how is that going to change anything0? Ok, I was already pudgy before Dr. Hackâ??em did his shoddy work. Dr. Hackâ??em is a big time hack job.

Dr. Hakim told me that my Peyronieâ??s disease could be treated with shots. These shots cost $13, 000 and I have a high deductible insurance. Hey, it is my sex life after all. Every appointment Dr. Hakim was charismatic and positive. But the truth is I was frustrated cause all I was getting out of it was a big BILL. I switched to a Urologist in Coral Gables Dr. Perito at my buddyâ??s urging. My wife did this research on the internet about Dr. Perito and some of it was not good. But I can tell you, Dr. Perito is an action guy and got me surgery. The improvement only took about a month and I am better. Dr. Hakim is hype guy and Dr. Perito is a knife guy. Donâ??t waist your time and money with Dr. Hakim.

My Partner and I were having some serious sexual issues and I sought out his advice. He is a gentle and caring man--for example, he warmed the jelly in his hands before doing his examining!! When I confided in him he took his eyes off his computer and locked eyes. The Doctor was empathetic and kind--spending extra time talking with me and comforting me. After he left the room his Nursing partner Bill confided in us that Dr. Hakim was having a crisis too--riding Harley motorcycles and was a newbie to the whole experience!!. This Doctor is an LGBT friendly MD!!! I only wish I could have posted a rainbow sticker on his window.

I went to see Dr. Hakim after multiple other urologists said he was the best in his field. My wife and I were extremely impressed with his professionalism and expertise. He spent time with us, did not rush and answered all of our questions. The bottom line is that he helped us when all others said they could not. In addition, his office staff is wonderful and the facility at Cleveland Clinic is outstanding. As a professional myself, I highly recommend Dr. Hakim to anyone seeking care in his specialty.

After my surgery for prostate cancer, my wife and I thought our intimacy was gone forever. Dr. Hakim was caring, explained all of our options and helped restore my "manhood" when noone else could. My wife calls him a 'miracle worker'. I thank the Lord for Dr. Hakim!
