Dr. Leonel J Hernandez-Toledo, MD

Incredibly disappointed! Was given wrong information after a colonoscopy, then it was changed and given another diagnosis - was provided documentation belonging to another patient. Trying to call the office is always difficult. Wife sometimes goes in and answers the phone otherwise voice mail is full. No computers. I do not recommend and will never go back!

He is obviously way past his prime and is jaded like most practitioners! You know that kind of doctor; snarky, poor and standoffish bedside manner and just doesn't care about their patients. That's Dr. Leonel J Hernandez! First off, the doctor answers his own calls, and when you ask who you're speaking with, he doesn't give you a name other than, and in a way that sidesteps my question, to say "...this is the office of....." What a devious creep! And I only spoke with him for less than two minutes but got a very good feel to his personality and character, or rather, lack thereof. Take my advice and steer clear of this unprofessional, rude "doctor". If he's omitting that he's the doctor answering his own calls (and I understand why because he's probably too cheap to hire decent staff) then what does that tell you about him and how badly he'll treat you as a patient? There are many good and professional practitioners I'd much rather give my money to and put my health in the… hands of! Hey doc, isn't time to retire?!

Doctor scheduled a colonoscopy. The doctor's office did not attempt to obtain an authorization from the PCP or insurance company. When I arrived at the hospital on the scheduled date after cleansing my colon the day before and fasting as required, no authorization nor was the doctor scheduled to perform the procedure.

Dr Hernadez saved my life 12 years ago when another, supposedly well regarded, gastro doctor failed to recognize a critical situation. He has been my gastro doctor ever since. I trust him completely. I have no problem getting an appointment right away (even same day) when needed. He is busy at the hospital during the day and works well into the evening to be able to see all his patients. He schedules any required procedures immediately. If there is a more natural remedy to your problem than drugs or procedures, that is what he tries first. He answers all questions and really focuses on the patient before him. His office isn't pretty and the wait is sometimes long, but you get to see a very caring doctor who is a great clinician. That is all that really matters, but those attributes are hard to find these days. I have recommended Dr Hernandez to anyone I know who needs a gastroenterologist.

I have been going to Dr. Hernandez for many years. You will not find a more caring, understanding and knowledgeable Dr. in the Ft. Lauderdale area. I have recommended him to many of my friends that have not found help else where. He saved my good friends life when everyone else gave up!! Thanks for being there for me Dr. Hernandez...You are the Best !!!

Saw Dr. Hernandez as a second opinion and decided to use him as my first. He pays attention, has a great sense of humor and his office staff is wonderful! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a gastroenterologist.
