Howard Linzer's Online Review Report Card

He do not have any sense to talk to patient, he don’t have answer apart from saying i can treat very specific cold or fever and he say don’t know anything else and cant check further, he just told me that can not spend more than 30 seconds as he needs other 50 patients to check.

Went to the Urgent Care clinic to get checked out for fever, cough, etc. Got my vitals checked by a very unfriendly nurse who wore a mask which was understanable during during flu season. But she certainly could have been nicer and friendlier instead of just handing me a mask when she saw I had a fever. She brought me to examining table and Dr. Linzer walked in and asked her if it was really necessary that I wear a mask. To which she replied yes and walked away. He then proceeded to call all of the staff at the clinic uneducated to me and said he was the only educated person in the building. Any educated person would know a mask does not help stop the flu germ from coming through. I was so shocked and uncomfortable on top of feeling so sick and just wanting to go home. They gave me a flu test and for the entire 10 minutes waiting for the results had to listen to him go on and on about how smart and educated he is. I could not wait to get out of there. Never want to be treated by him again!!

I was a Patient of Dr. Linzer for approx two years in Pasco county. I was involved in a bad car accident and became a patient of the clinic he worked at. In the beginning every visit I had with him he would increase my meds without me asking. I knew very little about pain meds. I made the mistake of trusting him because he is a doctor. I ended up on very strong meds and quite a few of them. I was in his office once and over heard the doctor telling his nurse that a patient who was in the hospital was accusing him of touching her inappropriately . I was not surprised as I had heard from a couple of patients at the pill mill he had done the same. I also heard he was writing high amounts of pills in exchange for sexual favors . One day he just disappeared. I heard the DEA was about to raid the pill mill and possibly arrest him. This doctor seems to forgot he took an oath to do no harm. He’s now working in Naples and has left many many addicts and a huge mess behind in Pasco county. Needs his license revoked for the lives he ruined . I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few overdoses because of him ??????

Dr. Linzer ran a pill mill in Pasco county, FL for years in the mid 2000. He left town after he heard of an up coming inditement. This is what he told me. He waiting room looked like a drug corner in an inner city.

I went to see Dr. Howard Linzer because I have experience trouble breathing. He checked on me using the stethoscope but instead he touched my right nipple and smiled so big. I was shocked and I dont know what to do. I feel humiliated! I can’t believe he did that while my sister and my niece are there with me. I don’t recommend this Maniac Doctor to anyone at all!!! That was a Terrible Experience to see a doctor who supposedly going to help you. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Dr Linzer is very impressive. He takes time with his patients, asks questions, is very thorough and knowledgeable This was without a doubt one of the most pleasant experiences I have had at a medical facility. Virginia Heitman

i just wanted to say we miss Dr. Linzer here in Pasco Co. Florida he helped me out greatly and seen him for years wish he could refer me to another dr!!

I started seeing dr.linzer in holiday fl.He was very caring and seemed to listen to what you had to say.His office staff was very polite and sweet,I recomend this office 100%.

Of course you can't find him. He is on the run for peddling pain medication. He prescribed my 27 year old son mega doses of OxyContin and Xanax because he said his arm was sore. This led to him to detox and rehab. Not to mention stealing, being arrested and going to jail.

I spent 2 years in pain and had doctors that blew off my symptoms as basic whiplash injuries. I believe it was my second visit to Dr. Linzer that he suspected a rare nerve injury. He sent me to a neurologist and they confirmed it. No other doctor has taken the time to care for me like he did. I was upset when I was told he left Gulf Coast. He has definitely been an important piece in my recovery. I Google searched for him and it appears that he may be working at a clinic in Sarasota. I would be more than willing to make the drive from Tampa for treatment.
