Dr. Leonid Alexandrovich Remenson, MD

On this Thanksgiving Day, I’d like to thank all the healthcare professionals that I am grateful for. Unfortunately, not all medical professionals remember the Hippocratic Oath, which includes several principles of medical ethics, one being non-maleficence. The concept of non-maleficence is “first, do no harm.” Many people consider that to be the primary consideration, that it is more important not to harm your patient, than to do them good, which is part of the Hippocratic Oath that doctors take. I am referencing this part of the oath because I am appalled at Dr. Leonid Remenson’s behavior when my very desperate mother-in-law, in need of psychiatric care, spoke to him on the phone and was dismissed by him, as a bully would do to a vulnerable child on the playground. Dr. Remenson, as part of his requirements, to become a patient, he first has a telephone screening. My mother-in-law told him she “acts funny sometimes,” and has “a problem…” She also said that her adult children… wanted her to seek psychiatric care. (She was also referred by her medical doctor) Dr. Rememson, had zero compassion and asked her what her problem was. She had a hard time explaining herself. He then told her that when she figures out her problem, she can call him back. WHAT? The psychiatrist is asking the prospective patient to diagnose herself? Feeling very frustrated, my mother-in-law said she’d like to keep her appointment because she really wants to see him. He said he does not want to keep her appointment and does not want to see her. Keep in mind that this so-called Dr. says he specializes in caring for the elderly. I think if he was set on the medical profession, he should have pursued pathology where he could perform autopsies. At least no human emotion would come into play. Stay far away from this unempathetic, disgraceful, excuse of a doctor.

Dr. Remenson is a skilled psychiatrist. He listens carefully to me and has been able to help me with some difficult problems. As a retired psychotherapist I can appreciate his warm and humorous manner and his knowledge of pharmacology. I was lucky to find him.

When I first met Dr. R, I was in terrible shape. Deeply depressed and anxious, and I hadn't slept right in years. I was suffering from a total nervous breakdown, and my life was in shambles. Dr. R listened carefully to my story, and asked questions that showed that he was listening. He went out of his way to help me with several needs that other medical offices couldn't be bothered with. We decided on a course of treatment together, and today I am totally recovered. My personal and professional performance have never been stronger. Dr Remenson I owe you a debt of gratitude!

I feel very comfortable going to see Dr. Remenson. The staff is always upbeat and greets me quickly. He is a very confident doctor and I trust his advice.

First thing you see when you enter his office is a wall full of his running medals. Quite the narcissistic display. His office manners are cold and he is quite dismissive with your feelings. I just left a hospital visit for an attempted suicide and his response was “you’ll be fine”. He sent in paperwork for my STD that caused me to lose it. AVOID!!!! He made sure he got his payment up front and I left with NO therapeutic value at all.

Dr. Remenson is considerate and takes time with his patients to understand and give advice. What I look for in a psychiatrist is someone who will explain the pros and cons of different potential solutions and then check in with you on subsequent visits as to how it's going and tweak if necessary. Sounds so simple, but it so hard to find in the field, I find. This doctor gets it!

Dr. Remenson changed my life. He's an expert in anxiety and depression and I can't say enough good words about his caring, compassionate ways. The absolute best!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Remenson for about a year now. And I must say, it’s one of the more pleasant experiences I’ve had. The office is extremely patient with me and Dr. Remenson was very through in explaining treatment with my family and me. He takes his time answering my all questions. There’s something refreshing when you find a doctor who gives you that “he gets me” feeling. I have recommended Dr. Remenson to friends and even coworkers and I will continue to do so. I can’t say enough great things about him or his staff!

Dr Remenson is kind, caring, up to date on all meds and really cares about his patients.

Dr. Remenson did a length evaluation. He crosses his T's and dots his I's. He asked me direct questions and didn't jump into giving me meds. He even suggested some books to pick up to help with my healing. I wasn't 100% overnight but I am now!!
