Dr. Lauren Michal De Leon, MD

I went for a few years without having a PCP that I felt connected to: I'm very thankful to have been accepted to Coastal Medical and to have met Dr. de Leon. I find that she is easy to talk to and holds a nice balance with being professional/clinical and friendly/humorous at the same time. I'll mention that I had some symptoms which were somewhat unusual for my age range but even so, she did not hesitate to send me for investigative images - a welcomed reaction to something that had been dismissed by other providers in the past.

I’ve been seeing Dr. de Leon for around 4 years. She is a very kind and compassionate person who truly listens to every concern. I have had some serious health issues and she is above and beyond with her knowledge and expertise. She works as a team with her patients as well as with different specialists. I personally have been in the health profession for many years and Dr. de Leon is right up there with the best-of-the-best !!! I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr. Lauren de Leon as my PCP ...

I do not understand what in the world the other reviewers are talking about. Dr. Deleon is a great doctor. The reason I like going to her is because she listens, is responsive, and is very good at her vocation. I never write reviews for anything, but I could not read these reviews and let it go.

I told her about several symptoms I had like being light-headed, having serious memory issues (not remembering how to spell easy words along with many other loss of memory moments), and tired. She told me this was because I was getting old. I was 39 at the time!!!! Foolish me believed her at that time. About a year later, my gastroenterologist ordered a blood test to check my iron. My iron was extremely low. I went back to Dr. De Leon. Without even looking at the test results, she said many people just have low iron. I told her that the hematologist and gastroenterologist felt it was bad and want to find out what's causing it. She just dismissed the whole thing!!! That was the last time that I wasted my time seeing this uneducated and careless doctor. Come to find out, I have SIBO (bacterial overgrowth in my small intestine). The bacteria eats my vitamins and nutrients. Thank goodness that I finally smartened up and went somewhere else. I also want to mention that before Dr. De Leon… worked at Coastal Medical, she was a dr at a gastroenterologist office. Do yourself a favor and don't use her.

Doesn't listen or care to understand how one feels

Horrible, horrible woman. Definitely DO NOT go. Extremely insensitive, and completely unrealistic and wrong in diagnosis. Caused me some serious damage.
