Dr. Leland James Scott

I'll leave this review from a different perspective. While I have not been a patient of Dr. Scott, I did work as a supervisor for the Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology's after-hours service. While the business I worked in is known for not being pleasant, Dr. Scott is by far the rudest, most condescending client I have ever worked with; the other providers at the Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology were all very pleasant to work with and this review need not apply to them. To put things into perspective, for someone who went with countless hours of studying and training, Dr. Scott is just generally not a pleasant person. With how he treated me, I would never see him as a patient. To give an example of Dr. Scott's character, there was an instance where Dr. Scott's pager stopped working one night, and a patient was having a medical emergency and needed guidance from him. My answering service went to the next step in our protocol that was given to us by his office: that being to call his phone. He absolutely berated me for calling him, stated my actions were inappropriate and that he would need an explanation from my supervisors sent over to his office. All for trying to help a patient get the medical guidance that they needed. Dr. Scott also would have my service dial out patients and medical facilities for him and connect him with them. Sometimes, this led to myself or other agent's being put on hold by the operators at those facilities. Dr. Scott would hang up on us, call us back, act all frustrated as to why we couldn't instantly connect him, and this would delay care in some scenarios because he would repeat this. You can't get a word in to let him know what's happening on the other end of the phone either. I had worked with roughly a thousand clients, mostly other medical professionals, at this time, and not one was even remotely close to being as vile as Dr. Scott. He must be a a halfway decent doc if the clinic has kept him around for so long, but there are also plenty of good doctors that are not abusive like this to potential clients.

He was wonderful, caring, thorough, and got on his computer to read to me what he thinks I have. We still need another test to get a final diagnoses, but I was very impressed. Alice R.

I have been seeing Dr. Scott for almost two years now. If it a decent doctor but seems very overwhelmed & has empathy problems when it came to me. I saw him maybe a day or two after my medical issue happened & he never offered any caring words or anything. I expressed my concerns with starting on such a high dose of medication & he basically laughed at him. After that first meeting my husband refused to come back to his office. He seems to have a slightly issue with young women from my point of view. Over the past two years I have repeatedly tried to talk to him about my future in terms of becoming a mother because he wanted me on these meds forever & I told him we would like to start a family soon. He looked at me & said “don’t get pregnant” & that was how he wanted to end the conversation. No empathy towards me and no suggestions to work towards my goal. Also I have known the man for almost two years & see him at least every 3 to 4 months & he says my name wrong every single visit

Dr. Scott Leeland is a horrific MD who was on call last night. He refused to assist me. He did not even triage me. This was at 9pm. I was unable to keep my epilepsy medication down. I have epilepsy and covid 19. Every time I cough, I vomit. I made 3 attempts to swallow the anti epileptic pills and they came up each time. The on call nurse for my primary care doctor refused to connect me with the on call physician. I called Minneapolis clinic of neurology, because covid was impacting my ability to take my pills. When I was sharing this with Dr. Leeland he was argumentative and stated, “I find that hard to believe.” He then HUNG UP without providing me with a solution stating “this is for your primary care doctor.” Who does that??

I am completely happy with my care. Everyone is friendly and very helpful.

Belligerent, disrespectful, condescending, with unprofessional remarks against other Dr.'s, and ignorant of current seizure protocols. I would never recommend him. Ever.

I went to Dr Scott on a recommendation, but I have a movement disorder which perhaps isn't his specialty. Not quite certain what is. Never performed tests or sent me to another doctor. I keep going back every 6 months though just chatting because I need him to keep my prescriptions going. Probably good for some conditions- but definitely not movement disorders. Glad so many are having good experiences. I call him my dealer. Do blood tests, get pills.

Very poor service and follow up. Dr. Scott is a capable Neurologist but he is far too busy to be attentive to his patients. As an example the first appointment took over 3 months to get plus after a review of MRI and scheduled treatment it took over 2 weeks to get the necessary documentation to proceed with any treatment The last part was after repeated phone calls asking for what his assistant called simple paperwork that should only take a day or so to get.

I saw Dr. Scott for an unusual neurological problem with my feet and he spent an hour during his clinical exam, scheduled two tests, then spent another hour explaining what I had, scheduled yet another test which I will see him about shortly. He is extremely detailed in his exam and analysis of my problem and while I am still not sure of the outcome, his patience and curiosity about it, and the time he takes, makes me certain his the right person to obtain the best result for me. He's the best.

Dr. Scott has correctly diagnosed a low-back disc rupture, when my own G.P. had misdiagnosed it for 8 months. I have referred a friend to him, and he is amazed at Dr. Scott's thoroughness, curiosity, and relentless pursuit of the right diagnosis. He is a genius!

Dr. Scott is very knowledgeable and thoroughly explains my diagnoses and thoroughly shows and explains results of MRI's and other scans and tests in a language that is patient-friendly. I have had 5 major back surgeries and he has been able to explain the source of my neuropathy and pain and also has explained the best solutions for my conditions. He is the one specialist that I have complete faith and trust in!

I have not had direct contact with the service. However, I do have an adult disabled daughter who suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome. I'm not sure if the neurologists at this clinic are ignorant to her needs but it sure seems that way. Today my daughter is taking less medication that she should so she can "get through". This is after she has repeatedly called the clinic and has gotten no response. The pharmacy has also been attempting to contact the neurologist but again, no response. What kind of practice is this? My daughter requires 125mg of Valium per day and she's unable to get it refilled because she is being ignored. I'm not at all impressed with the care being given to my daughter. Not at all. And I'm an RN. I have not had direct contact with the service. However, I do have an adult disabled daughter who suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome.

I had been to numerous doctors including several specialists for a painful ear condition that felt often like someone had punched me in the ear. No one could find anything wrong and they just said it's fine. Not Dr. Scott- he kept searching for answers and he is the only one who took my complaint seriously. He figured out the cause and got me set up with the right person ( ironically a physical therapist) to help the issue. He knows his stuff! A big thanks to Dr. Scott!!
