Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I saw Dr. Leone 3 times in the summer of 2021 . He was friendly and professional the first 2 visits. He was not professional and respectful to myself as a patient my third visit. He implied that I was difficult. I do not recommend him.

Talks WAY too much and isn’t always clear and concise. Ended up finding a new doctor and am much happier.

Terrible!!!!!! Do NOT go to Dr. Leone, especially as a new patient. He was NOT wearing a mask in the middle of the COVID disaster. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! He treated me like I was a criminal because I requested a blood panel done and made false judgments based on my medical history before he even made a proper introduction as my new doctor. This practice is a mess, and it’s a overcrowded mill for doctor’s own profits. Not to mention, I waited 2 hrs for him to tell me “he doesn’t appreciate my sarcasm, MASKLESS, during COVID, not able to see my face!” I walked out of the office and immediately filed a complaint with the office manager.

Dr. Leone was kind, knowledgeable, concerned and a good listener. I was really stressed out as I had recently experienced a lot of life changes and I felt that he really listened to what I was saying. So happy to have a found a normal trustworthy doctor who does not instill fear. He's a keeper

He takes his time and asks a lot of questions which is what I like. He doesn't want to duplicate what has already been tested and looks at your chart with care. He gives information on what he is thinking and talking about and listens to your feedback.

If your elderly you will get the best attention from him. If you are not, prepare to wait and sometimes you would get bump , because one of his elderly patients needs more time. He wants you to be flexible and understanding, but he is not.
