Leo Lombardo's Online Review Report Card

for someone in this "profession" he has a funny way of "consulting" with workmans comp patients, IN ANOTHER STATE. Theres a reason he only has 2.6 stars.

Calling during regular office hours gets you kicked into after-office hours recording and an answering service. If someone is actually in the office and answers phone, either she is not informed of Dr’s whereabouts or knows but doesn’t say. Dr obviously did not communicate with her. He is so seldom in that I asked if he was shutting down his office/business. She skirted the issue Im not sure what is going on. At one point I had an appointment but when I arrived the office was completely closed. Apparently they forgot to inform me that he wasn't going to be in that day. I have not heard from Dr Lombardo or his office although I have left messages that I would like to speak with him regarding a medication reaction.

I have had nothing but good experiences as a patient of Dr. Lombardo. He has managed a rather complex pattern of pain I have to deal with, and has been very effective. He is professional and kind. When I see him for in-office visits I almost never have to wait for more than a few minutes. He has been very available online during the Covid-19 pandemic.

My former wonderfully Dr closed her office and she sent my medical files to Dr Lombardo. He has no personality and he doesn't examined you. He just sits there and asks questions. The receptionist is the same and there is no customer service. None. I'm not even sure she ever gets off her chair. I was told that they don't have E-mail. ???? Can only use fax. My former doctor had me on some medication due to side effects from cancer and he cut them off without thinking of me as a patient. Very expensive and wants to see you every 1-2 months. I'm so exhausted from that office. They are also on 2nd floor with a elevator that is out of service a lot. Not easy when he's a back and spine physician.

Dr. Lombardo works for insurance companies in order to deny medical treatment options even though these options follow treatment guidelines. He has forgotten that he went to medical school in order to help people and instead chooses to do the dirty work of insurance companies. There are better options for treating physicians who care about the health and well-being of patients.

Leo Lombardo is not a doctor that actually tries to help people. Instead, he gets paid to "write" letters for insurance companies to deny coverage, thus saving the insurance company money. I had an on the job accident Feb. 2017, that ended up with me having a total knee replacement, which did not go well, and am now 29% disabled. This idiot sent letters out to my primary care at Mayo Clinic, no less, stating that the drug they have prescribed me for 'pain' is not for pain, and he quotes FOUR pages of what the drug is actually for, the risks, side effects, blah, blah, blah. He quotes my medical history, from the past 20 years that I have been going to the Mayo, that I suffer from constipation, diabetes, depression, headache, and chronic fatigue. What does that have to do with my knee? He continues to say that Modifinal should not be prescribed unless extensive tests have been done. Are you kidding me? He KNOWS he's sending his condescending letter to the medical personnel at Mayo Clinic, right? The World Reknown Mayo Clinic? The same Mayo Clinic that did extensive testing BEFORE they diagnosed me with chronic fatigue years ago? The Mayo Clinic that wouldn't hire this "DR" if he was the last one on earth. He explains that he is telling the insurance company to deny the request of my prescription for Modifinal, because it is not for pain, etc., it's for daytime sleepiness among other things. He then admits that he doesn't even know what my injury was in Feb 2017. What??? How can he even make any kind of a recommendation, when he doesn't even have the injury or diagnosis that he is supposed to be making a recommendation on? Has he not maybe, connected the dots yet, and that maybe, just maybe, the Modafinal would be for chronic fatigue, and have NOTHING to do with pain, or an injury? Wouldn't the thought have crossed his mind that the pharmacy might have gotten mixed up and sent that prescription to the wrong insurance company? Oh no, trust me, he's not that quick on the intake. He even, and I quote, says "I have a scope of licensure that typically manages the medical condition, procedure, treatment or issue under review for this SPECIFIC case. To the best of my knowledge, I have not been involved with the specific episode of care prior to referral of this review." He doesn't even KNOW what the specific episode is, and admits it by stating earlier in his letter that, "The mechanism of injury was not documented in the medical reports submitted with this request". That is a textbook OXYMORON! Of course, Leo probably has no idea what that is either. Even the insurance company might want to take a closer look at their "physician advisor" before they get embroiled somewhere down the road, with his total lack of having the facts before he gives another supposedly "expert opinion". Like I said before, Run! Don't look back! Do your research and find someone that knows how to treat people, and wants to actually be a doctor and help people, rather than just being the "Great and Wonderful Oz" in his own tiny little mind.

This guy is a joke! There was a shopping cart in the waiting room. The office seemed very unorganized with one office girl.. who was so unorganized. The fact there was a shopping cart in the waiting room, there were no patients in the office and his office is in a strip mall I should have run! It felt like one of those clinics in Florida where the first thing they ask for is your MRI before they even ask why your being seen. Worst experience ever! His bedside manor was disgusting.. his arrogance was appauling, seriously needed an ego check. Just an FYI Leo your not the only MD in town! Thank God i found a compassionate MD!

Dr. Lombardo is one, of very few physician's that will take the time to understand what his patient needs, and work with his patients to develop a plan that works. I was referred for a consult for a post-op procedure just over 2 years ago. I chose to stay with him.

This doctor is a bad guy. Performed one surgery that put me in more pain than I've ever been in and then just prescribed medications to blanket the pain without actually trying to fix my back. Then charged me full price to tell me he wouldn't see me anymore. Horrible practice and i would never recommend him to anyone i know.
