Reviews of Eye Care and Laser Surgery of Newton - Wellesley (Ophthalmologist)

Alisa Evans

I don't usually take the time to write reviews because I'm a busy mother of five. But Dr. Leibole is arguably one of the best doctors I've ever had, so I feel others deserve to know about him. Dr. Leibole performed my Lasik surgery last November. He did a perfect, excellent job, but his outstanding surgical skills are not the only reason for my gratitude. Last spring, while living overseas, I learned that I had a cataract (the rare kind that middle-aged people get). I knew I would be living back in the USA in Boston area for 4 months in the coming fall, so I hoped to have both cataract and Lasik surgeries performed while in the USA. The problem was that my time frame was so short and Dr. Leibole is such a well-reputed doctor that his schedule was packed full. When I explained to him my unique circumstances and he evaluated my need for both surgeries, I was hoping and praying he'd be willing to find a way to squeeze me into his schedule. Not only did he fit me into his busy Lasik surgical schedule, but he also personally called and explained my situation to another trusted ophthalmologist in the area (Dr. Putnoi), and helped arrange for my cataract surgery to be performed by him. Jennifer in his office staff was extremely kind and helpful as well. This was a miracle and answer to prayer for me. I also greatly appreciate Dr. Leibole's caring manner and the way he takes the time to explain every detail of pre and post surgery protocol to his patients. He is very sharp and knowledgeable and also very kind and caring. I've no doubt he will continue to bless many lives through his great talents and caring manner. I should also mention that he has put together a great team of employees in his office as well. By the time I left, they felt like family to me. If I ever come back to Massachusetts, I'll definitely stop back in to visit this wonderful group of people!
