If I can give it a negative score I would, I visited this office and follow the strict diet and medication a month later I was in the ICU for three days due to the diet I was placed on, I never saw the doctor again and kept seeing a nurse practitioner. I was with them for a year, I advised them in advance I was going to be alittle late and they said they wouldn't accommodate me. Went in and was hit with a 50 dollar late fee even though I advised them. I went in and was prescribed medication last visit and they want to charge 25 dollars for them to contact the insurance company for authorization. This office is about nickle and dining you for everything they rush you in and out and u never see a doctor it's always nurse practitioners. Why are we paying these co-pays and late fees and extra fees to see nurse and not the doctors. Would not recommend them to anyone. Plus their star doctor Metchick which is the one who put me in the hospital is leaving and they can't find a replacement and are using nurses to see patients read more

I saw this man 1 time after being referred after surgery and having cancer. He was arrogant, did not explain anything to me, made me feel bad that I wanted an ultrasound earlier rather than waiting. Never saw this man again, every time I went it was a different person and I only went 3 times before I knew this wasn't for me. They basically said, yea your ultrasound is fine you'll need to see someone about the not being able to swallow properly...see ya next year. Luckily I did find an amazing doc who explained all the details for me and told me that I for sure needed to be see before a year. This man is probably killing people. read more

Veronica and nurse Julie were very hands-on very helpful and very kind. I only had an appointment for a follow up but they let me see nurse Julie to get my Dexcom put on my body correctly in order to manage my diabetes. I highly recommend their office in Deland. read more

Told my husband to take all of his insulin at night then go to sleep. Yeah - he wouldn't wake up if he followed those instructions. Anyone that knows anything about diabetes, knows that a doctor allegedly knowledgeable regarding diabetes, would not say such potentially fatal things. Even the other doctors we talked to, thought that was a little strange. I would not ever suggest this guy to anyone, that seemed a very reckless thing to tell a patient. I do not know whether it is the norm now - but my husband has been taking his insulin in the morning for 44 years. When he tried it that way - he nearly died. But he did it because his doctor told him to. I just thank God that I couldn't sleep that night. read more

The appointment scheduling procedure for this doctor is horrific. You will be lucky to be seen in months. I was told that a 2 month wait was considered a good turn around for this office. You are required to run the gauntlet before you are given the privilege of an making an appointment. All of your new patient information, referral and medical records, and copies of your insurance must be given up front before they will consider scheduling an appointment. If something they require is missing, you go into limbo status. Once you have complied with all of the requirements, then and only then will you have the opportunity to see a medical provider (usually an assistant) and give this business your money. Sadly, Endocrinology of Central Florida scheduling department is not customer friendly. read more

Please don't make the mistake of creating a relationship with this Doctor! I see reviews describing this wonderful and caring Doctor? That is Not Lee Metchick! Don't be fooled by friends ,family and possibly him posting those positive reviews. This Doctor came into the Lake Mary area in a time where there was one Endocrinologist Dr. Ansara whom was having health problems and had difficulty seeing patients .By default, a huge amount of patients were directed his way. He is absolutely all about money and Ego. This man only hires very timid females for his staff that bow down when he walks by, laugh at his dry sense of humor jokes and stroke his ego. His goal is volume, He sees patients every few visits whether their condition/Disease is controlled or not. Your Doctor has NOT referred you to a Physicians Assistant, or a nurse! you were referred to see a specialist in endocrinology. If the disease is under control and a quick visit for scripts etc is needed that would be okay, But you will see A Physicians assistants whom he allows to diagnose and treat your uncontrolled disease more than you see him! You can complain and sometimes they will just be rude and say this is how we run our office. Or perhaps they will tell you that they will put in your chart that you request to only see the doctor. Next visit you will be taken back and the Physicians assistant will enter for your appointment. You will spend a good amount of your appointments with feeling awkward waiting for him to address your situation as he is giving directions to his employees about other patients. You will also sit uncomfortably as he puts on a show for the pretty young female pharmaceutical reps,The gentleman reps didn't seem to get an invite back to speak with him? they left samples at the counter and left, When you call the office rarely will you be able to speak to someone as you need to learn to leave a message and hope they call you back. Yet if you don't speak to someone in the appropriate time frame they bill you for not cancelling more than 24 hours. Doesn't matter they are unavailable. Dr. Metchick will give your contact information to companies doing studies. They will call and even say they got your information from Lee metchick!! I guess Hippa laws don' apply to this Doctor? Prescriptions: Doctor metchick has a reputation of writing prescriptions for the pharmaceutical companies that pay him to be a speaker for them. Is that in your best interest as a patient? shouldn't it be the drug best for you and your condition? I saw Dr. Metchick for almost 10 years. I gave his card to my other physicians as people were looking for an endocrinologist in the area.Many people returned to these offices with very bad experiences at Dr. Metchicks office. I actually defended him to my doctors as I didn't realize it was as bad as they were telling him. UNTIL I called for three days straight ,several times per day trying to reschedule an appointment. When I arrived fort the rescheduled appointment I was told I must pay a $55.00 no show fee BEFORE I could see the NURSE(not even the doctor but a nurse).I disputed this charge and was turned away/denied treatment! I called the office the following day and requested for Dr. Metchick to call me back.I had been going to him for almost 10 years and I felt I knew him enough to speak with him about this misunderstanding. He refused to call me back. I then repeatedly Emailed him with No reply. I then receive a bill with the $55.00 no show fee with an additional $55.00 fee for the day I was turned away.refused treatment! lol. I Emailed the billing girl and ask for Dr. metchick to please call and she returns my phone call. After being spoken to in a very rude/demeaning fashion, I plainly ask her to please have Dr. Metchick call me.She then calls me back and said" I spoke to Dr. Metchick and he will waive the $110.00 of fees(gee thanks doctor, lol) but you are no longer a patient! what?!?! After 10 years I had been loyal, referred patients including family(who also thinks he is an arrogant jerk) ,defended the guy to my other Doctors.He couldn't even return my phone call and allowed a very rude and unprofessional office person to call his patient. Just my experience as well as what I have heard from many many others. Your health is too valuable and he doesn't care!! I have never heard of so many patients being dropped from a practice? Not the norm, So don't even start a relationship with this Bad Doctor.Also,he never did get my or my family members disease under control, primary care physicians intervened in both cases changing /adding meds and recommended we don't return based on all patient feedback and results. read more
