I had cataract surgery from Dr. Leifer which was surprisingly an awesome experience! I was so nervous going in but that was soon gone with how i was handled. Dr. Leifer is very personable, knowledgeable and patient. I can't wait to get my other eye done!
Great doctor, explained things in a manner that can be understood by anybody
Thank you guys especially front desk for getting my mother Carmen In same day as a emergency.. everyone there are very nice and professional..
I had vision like I have not had in years. Everywhere I looked I could see like I was a kid again...truly the difference was like night and day! I would recommend Dr. Leifer and his team to anyone who has trouble with their vision. I'm going back to get a cataract on the second eye removed.
Dr. Joyce Varkey is outstanding! I totally trust her expertise. She is kind and thorough.
The staff was very nice and professional, the doctor was very understanding and helpful with any questions, had explained things so you could understand. I highly recommend them.
