Dr. Nilda Leon, MD

She was assigned to assess my service-connected disability at the VA Hospital in West Haven from an injury incurred from an Iraq combat deployment. I was appalled at how blatantly rude, condescending, and dismissive she was from the moment I walked in the room. After several moments, I politely asked her if we could actually make eye contact and cordially discuss my injury in detail. To my surprise and dismay, she became even MORE rude, condescending, and dismissive. Ultimately, my condition required range-of-motion measurements of my hand in order to be rated by the VA. My measurements met the criteria and I thought all was well. When I received a claim denial decision from the VA 4 months later, It contained her findings, which were falsified well below criteria. She literally sabotaged my injury claim because I somehow offended her by asking her to be somewhat personable. I can't fathom how she's still licensed considering how she handles herself. Beware and avoid her at all costs.

Do not let her diagnosis you. You will regret it.
