    The female provider we had before Dr. Leon came in, I forgot her name and I really hate that, but she was absolutely amazing with my daughter and I would 10 out of 10 recommend and want her to do the pre-work before Dr. Leon comes in again the next time we came in. Thanks and have a great day.

    Overall, the experience was very good. We did seem to wait a long time after my daughter's pupils were dilated, well over an hour. And in fact, two or three people stopped in, popped their head in a couple of times and said, oh, has she been dilated yet? Like, yeah, she's been dilated, but we still kept waiting. So that would be my only issue. I'm not sure what was going on there. But otherwise, the experience was very positive. Thank you.

    This is a high quality shop. Dr. Leon and his associates are most professional and caring. They are highly skilled, listen carefully, and are able to communicate clearly about the issues. I will highly recommend them for anyone else who has my symptoms.

    This was my son's second eye surgery, and this last surgery by Dr. Leon was an excellent surgery. His follow-up appointments have been very thorough, and the doctor took his time and has explained everything to me. Thank you.

    We arrived at 10am and left at 1:40. My child's eye exam was done about 3 times between 3 different people. It really should have not taken that long. I had to be across the river to pick up my other child for 2pm and barely made it. Never would I have thought I would have been at an eye appointment for nearly 4 hours.
