I love Dr. Leifer and his staff. He's an awesome eye doctor he set and listen to his patient and look you straight in the eyes when he telling you what's going on with your eyes. I recommend him to all of my family members and friends. I wouldn't go no where else but to his office for my eye exam.

I was treated for a cataract which was removed. That evening, I received a call from Dr. Leifer to find out just how I was feeling and doing. I really feel as a patient that I was his number one concern.
