Florida Institute Cardio: Linzer Dov MD

Dr. Liner is great. he has always provided thorough explanations of everything to me and calls me personally to let me know how tests, etc. are going. His staff... not so great. They tend to be a bit lazy on getting things done and act as though they are a bit above doing their jobs. I had an appointment for a follow up for last month. This appointment was made in January. His staff called me the day before this appointment after 2pm saying they needed a new referral from my primary or the appointment would be cancelled. I guess they expected me to stop work, call my primary and her to stop her practice to give them a new referral. Perhaps, a little more organization from the office manager is due. Maybe, you can check a week ahead of time for a valid referral, and then contact my primary directly and request it. I don't get paid to work there so I don't expect to do their job. Too bad, I couldn't see the Doctor because he is great. Maybe he will read this and get his staff in order. Or maybe, I'll just call him on his cell phone since he gave me his number and let him know. Either way, he's a great doctor.

Dr Linzer is straight forward and doesn't over suggest. He explained everything and ultimately let me decide if I wanted to do further testing to ease my mind.

Best cardiologist I have had. He takes his time to listen. He gives you an option to take medication. He's not a pusher. He's very caring and is on top of his game. I love my cardiologist doctor Linzer.

Dr Linzer is ok, but the office is a mess. Unable to keep appointments on time. Completely absurd how they are so inconsiderate about patients time; be ready to wait 1 hr plus past your app time.

I never dealt with Dr Linzer as far as making appointments. Unfortunately, I dealt with him during the last few days of my Mother's life. The detailed explanation he gave me over the phone, especially the night before she passed away, was incredible. This phone call was at about 9pm, and he didn't sound rushed in any way, but, on the other hand, full of detail and information we needed to know, to make the better decision for my Mom. Sorry, to post so many years later, since my Mom passed away in 2015, but was trying to recommend him to someone, and found some negative reviews. Hope my review helps others.
