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.

Unprofessional - run down, loooooong wait
The instruments they use are not clean, the toilet is filthy, this place caters to very low income patients, and it shows. They forget your appointment, or have no trace of previous bloodwork.. The premise is extremely outdated. The wait is over 2 hours +. It really should be investigated.

A truly devoted primary CARE physician
He is thorough and really listens. He appears a bit absentminded but I think that is because he really delves into your case history and those wheels are churning when he looks over your paperwork. I am sure he has a lot of knowledge in that head.

Liked him until he mistreated me
Went for general checkup. Dr. Cohen decided to do my first-ever prostate check. Apparently Dr. Cohen thought it would be funny to use no lube and jam his gloved finger finger in hard. Due to pain and bruising I could not sit down or lie on my back for three days. I hated him after that never returned, and refused such checks for years.

Dr. Cohen is wonderful. He listens, very understanding. He is great in helping figure out what works for me, with my anxiety and pain. He's been there for me when I needed him. The office girls are so sweet and they scheduled me right in. Very professional nice man. I feel lucky to have him as my doctor.

Zero stars. Poor Poor Poor followup and service. Our ward who is a medicaid patient and on SSI had seen this 'Doctor' for multiple issues, and was promised several times that referrals were sent for a nerve ablation procedure. She had to drive from Vero Beach to Merritt Island for the referral visit with Cohen, was promised that that those would be sent, so she went to Clermont/orlando only to find that no referral had been sent. Wish we had looked into this feller's background at least here for reviews/ratings first :(

Unhappy Medicaid Patient – Nov 24, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cohen?
So I saw dr. Leon Cohen yesterday took about two and a half hours of waiting. I don't know why I did not get a referral. Furthermore a prescription was prescribed for an anti-inflammatory which was never sent to my Pharmacy. A CT scan was ordered that was never sent to Viera Diagnostics. So I called today to ask them about this and I am done with the most disrespect that I have ever heard. They told me I was handed the prescription when I told them I was right there when the doctor handed it to the person who ended me the appointment card they started to argue. I treated them with respect and kept my composure I just can't see how it is so difficult to receive care.

Waited four hours with a broken humorous bone! Never saw the Dr. Did eventually see a PA. Said patient would be referred to an Orthopedic Surgeon as he needed surgery for an "acute" injury. Called office several times/days for referral. Office said PA never passed referral to "schedulers ". Finally, went back to CCH Emergency for the second time. NEVER heard from this office! The most incompetent office I have ever encountered. Inexcusable to leave a patient with a broken bone with no help!SHAME

The worst. Went twice. Both times waited 3-4 hours. No apologies. Front desk bad attitudes. They hate you if you ask them a question, about anything. Dr tried to talk me into taking all kinds of tests obviously not needed.

My first visit I was there for 4 hours and the second time my apt was at 3, and there were still people waiting for their 11am apts by 5. I ended up leaving after 4 hours. I just couldnt keep waiting that long every time. It’s ridiculous how many people they pack in there. It’s all about the money to them. The receptionist Wanda was incredibly rude to me. They refused to do a preauth and made me pay cash. They lied, lost paperwork, messed up my meds. Don’t waste your time here

Pitiful, always 3 + hours wait time. Someone should look into scheduling and give more accurate time. 1 hour wait is substantial and acceptable. Wouldn't have patients upset and fighting. Sad situation that patent's aren't respected.

Disappointed in Coward, SC – Aug 04, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Cohen?
I had an appt. at 11am got called back at about 2pm, had my blood drawn, then saw Dr Cohen at 430pm. I went in to get a referral to an allergy doctor and an oral surgeon for TMJ. The doctor told me he couldn't write any referrals without proof but he didn't even bother to see if it was treatable or if he could do anything for me. I was told to come back in after lab results to see him so he can verify if my condition exists. Yet, that is what I'd be going to the specialist for?!

He runs a busy office but that is b/c he doesn't believe in turning anyone away. He is an amazing man who does remarkable work in a challenging setting. Yes, the wait can be long, but I have waited longer in other offices, so bring a book. I think the care I have received has been great.

Incompetent, uncaring, and disrespectful-these are my top 3 among SO many other reasons not to ever go to this office! Be prepared to wait no shorter an amount of time than 3-4 hours. Without exaggeration.
