Dr. Jorge Pedro Leguizamo, MD

Waiting time was 1 hour, there was not many patients and yes I was on time! All patients that came after me, were seen first. Dr. Only took less than 5 mins to talk to me regarding my symptoms, condition, etc. Then he rushed to get out of the room by saying he will bring me vital information regarding my condition and never came back to bring the info or answer questions and sent a nurse to discharge me & check me out. This happened to me 2 times. 2nd time wasn’t necessary to attend to an appointment, he could just called me and tell me the same thing he said in the 4 minute visit, instead of me making special arrangements for childcare, transportation and work and wasting 1 whole hour in the drs office just waiting to be seen. Glad some patients find him as a great dr. I’m sure he is very smart and knowledgeable but he is just not the dr. I would trust. Needed a note to be faxed to my surgeon and it took almost a month for this to happen, Even after I called his office… multiple times. There was a contradiction and miss communication between him and his staff regarding this, he never answered the messages and in the meantime I was in the limbo waiting for a necessary surgery and in a lot of pain.

Put me on chemo when I did not have a tumor. When I got a second opinion, it turns out, even if there had been a tumor, I should not have been on that chemo for more than 3 months. I would still be on it if I had stayed with him. I have debilitating neuropathy as a result. Did not listen when I complained about losing use of my hand. It took me 2 years on my own to figure out what to do and as a result I no longer have use of my hand. Horrible experience. Seems more interested in chatting with nurses than listening to patients. I wish I had never ever gone to him. My quality of life has been greatly diminished due to either incompetence or lack of caring.

One of the best doctors I have ever met. He will listen to everything you have to say. The treatments he recommends are the best for you.

I was questioning him on medications and surgery (my over all diagnosis). He does not like to be questioned, it seems like it is his way or no way. It is best to have a doctor you can talk too and not be talked at. He dropped me as a patient and I just had surgery 7 days ago.
