"Dr Leslie removed my cataracts in January. Surgery was a total success. Her staff was very friendly & accommodating."
— Yelp"Dr. Leslie is excellent but her billing staff is not. Was due a refund for a duplicate deductible payment from a February appointment and did not receive it until June 10th."
— Healthgrades"After an hour and fifteen minutes wait, doctor Doctor had still not seen me nor given me any update on timing so I left. ... I notified Maria at the front desk that almost 2 hours wait from the appointment time is not acceptable by any standard."
