Patient Reviews for Dr. Gerald H. Leventhal - MD

Recommendation
Bedside Manner- Wait Time
I scheduled an appointment because I was sick and this office was conveniently located. Dr. Leventhal was very nice and efficient, however, the wait time was about 45 minutes and the front desk lady was not particularly codial. I am torn on whether I would come again. I did like the doctor, but the overall experience was not great.

I just switched jobs so I didn't have my new insurance card but the front desk woman was extremely rude and refused to speak to my insurance company or employer on the phone. She made me withdraw cash to pay for my visit upfront and wait 2 hours to see the doctor. The doctor was extremely professional, helpful and forced the front desk to give me back 75% of the money. I liked the doctor but would never come back because of the horrible front desk service.

Fantastic doctor. Dr. Leventhal made me feel instantly comfortable and was as gregarious as he was thorough. Can't overstate how good it was- is it unnatural to enjoy oneself in a doctor's office?

He's very old school, not medication-happy or into unnecessary tests, which I really appreciate. Friendly and personable. I would definitely go back.

Dr. Leventhal is a bona fide old school doctor who actually percusses your abdomen when he gives you a physical. He's obviously drawing on decades of experience which is really reassuring. He cares about what the patient says, asks good questions, and gives the strong impression that he knows what he's doing. His only shortcoming is making a bit too much conversation that was off-topic, but he curtailed it immediately when appropriate.

Well, I did have to wait an hour and a half in the waiting room which was a drag. Fortunately once I did meet Dr. Leventhal he lived up to all the positive reveiews here on zoc doc. He was engaged, humerous and thorough. He spent a good amount of time with me and I never felt rushed like I do most places now a days. He answered all my questions and happily made referrals for me for doctors for procedures that I needed to have done. That was really good because I feel that it will help me narrow down providers which is a godsend. I really felt like I had found the doctor I was looking for and now have someone I can call "my doctor". Priceless! I recommend him.

I had full confidence in Dr. Leventhal from the moment I met him. He's all a patient should ask for. A rarity. Extensively experienced and knowledgeable, yet warm, compassionate, and attentive. He also has a wonderful sense of humor, which helped break down most of the fear I had built up on the way to my appointment :)

An excellent doctor experience. Dr. Leventhal took the time to listen to my family history, speak to me about what I should be on the lookout for, and do a quick but thorough examination. I would highly recommend him, but would say to expect to be seen a little later than the actual appointment time.

Dr. Leventhal is a very genuine physician. I found his bedside manner fantastic. His receptionist was not as welcoming... but physicians should not be judged too harshly on their support staff.

The comments that were previously shared on Dr. Leventhal were so kind...and I must say the were spot-on. I had to find a doc in a pinch due to an illness right before traveling for the holidays. He was the kindest, most gentle doctor I've seen in AGES and is just a good person in addition to very knowledgeable. He took time to have a true conversation as well...I will most likely request to see him again.
