Reviews of New Orleans Eye Specialists (Ophthalmologist)

Bill Sanders

I have brought my kids here for 5 years. Dr. Balkan has been great. He seems very competent and has always behaved pleasantly. The staff was very nice and helpful (not sure why other reviewers were unhappy). I highly recommend Dr. Balkan.

I am very pleased with the symphony lens used in my cataract surgery by Dr. Clifford Hendricks and with his pre- and post-surgery care. Excellent board certified physician; cannot find a better ophthalmologist!

Dr Leader and his staff at New Orleans Eye Specialist have been some of the best I have come across in the medical profession. I have been a patient of Dr Leader for almost 20 years. I can honestly say his actions toward my eyesight have always been meticulous. He listens, observes and is very patient making sure any instructions he gives are understood. The office atmosphere lets you know that everyone seems to know their job and work for the patients. Very good doctor, great staff, and Highly recommended.

Dr Balkan has been taking care of our daughters for many years, since my 12yr old was 4yrs old. My children love going to see Dr Balkan. He plays with the kids while checking their eyes and he listens to everything that they have to say. He explains anything that I need to know and addresses any concerns that i may have. I have sent several friends there and they have all told me that he has taken good care of their children.

The only reason I give it 1 star is because of Dr. Hendricks he is awesome!! but the staff are horrible not everyone but most they don't know how to cater to the handicap. I will be so glad when my mom has this second surgery and post op and that's a lot and hopefully don't have to return; are just transfer to the Metairie location staff is alot better there!!! And sometimes I don't blame people for acting the way they do!!! It's sad!

Your gentle touch, compassionate, listening heart is so healing and put me at ease. Every step of the way you whispered what was coming next and there were no surprises. One of the most comforting actions was holding my hand during the surgery. For each of you this is not a job but it is a ministry bringing hope and healing. Thank you for your caring thoughtful actions. Blessings +. SRM

Dr Balkan was great. Staff at reception desk didn’t give me prescription for new glasses and when I called to get emailed I was told it would be done in a few minutes at 11am. At 2 pm I called again and what I don’t like is you can’t talk to anyone. You are told auto that you will be called back by the end of the day. I never received email or call back. Problem because it was a Friday so now I have to wait until Monday. I hope new glasses will be ready on time for school.

Dr. Leader is kind and patient. The rest of the staff worked with me to find glasses that would not exacerbate my migraine pain. I highly recommend this facility.

Jo Ann Fitzpatrick

I highly recommend this practice and especially Dr Balkan. It was easy to make an appointment, the wait time wasn’t too long and their appointment reminders were helpful. Dr Balkan was a perfect mixture of kind, straight forward and professional. He is great at listening and answering questions.

The staff is great and I can't recommend Dr. Hendricks enough. Have already sent a few of my friends his way and I wouldn't do that if I didn't have the utmost trust in him.

The staff was not only professional, but extremely personable. As for the doctor I wouldn't go to anyone other than Dr. Leader.

Very good experience

They never answer the phone or call you back within a reasonable time frame. I have a family member that I care for that goes to this clinic.

Everything about my cataract surgery experience from the planning stages, to pre-op, the surgery itself (De. Barry Leader) and post op was THE BEST!!! At three after surgery, O I feel as though have a brand new world to see! THANK YOU ALL!!! Brenda Currin

James Bond

Great job

Placid Moon

Dr. Leider is a terrible eye doctor. I expressed concern over the price of my contacts (he insisted on giving me two different brands for each eye) and he scoffed at me, saying that it didn't matter what the price was because that was my prescription!!!!!!!!! I always have to wait at least an hour in the waiting room for my Appointment no matter how early I am!! The receptionist's are rude. I used to go here because the prices were cheaper but they have raised their prices across the board and with rude doctors and staff why go? Screw this place.

Woods Shona

Everyone was extremely nice. I'm a new patient of Dr. Hendricks he was very nice and funny. I have found my forever eye doctor.
