I’ve been seeing Dr. Leibole for years, first for astigmatism and in the last couple of years for MGD and dry eyes. He is so attentive, patient, and completely unwilling to accept the chronic discomfort in my eyes I thought I would just have to learn to put up with. He and his wonderful team tried so many things and worked so hard to care for me. I’m especially grateful to Jess Flanagan, the IPL/RF treatment specialist, for always finding a way to fit me into her packed schedule so my eyes don’t get too uncomfortable, putting me at ease during the ...
I underwent Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) with Dr. Leibole in April of 2022. Dr.Leibole and his staff are so welcoming and kind, always answering my questions throughly. The surgery itself and recovery afterward went so well. The office has always fit me into their busy schedules for any eye- related emergencies. I have referred a few friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances to check out his office over the years if interested in Lasik or ASA.
I underwent LASIK at Eye Care and Laser Surgery of Newton-Wellesley in December of 2018, and more than seven years later, the results continue to be outstanding. Prior to the procedure, I had significant astigmatism in one eye along with worsening distance vision that was interfering with everyday activities and overall quality of life. I spent roughly 18 months attempting to adapt to glasses, which ultimately resulted in frequent headaches and ongoing practical limitations. After careful consideration, I elected to move forward with LASIK under the ...
Could not more highly recommend! Even though the office was very busy, they made room for me (a new patient) in the schedule a couple hours after I called. The waiting room was the most positive and joyful place I have been in a while. They clearly care about their patients and the atmosphere they create. Doctor Candal, was extremely smart, kind, caring, wise, careful. The team is comprehensive and they clearly know their work deeply and also care about the people. This is so rare!!
I got LASEK here and can say that between the consultations, the procedure, and the follow-up appointments that this seems like a great place for eye. From Jen and the other secretaries' committed service at the front, to Kelly's consistently upbeat and friendly demeanor, to Dr. Leibole's effective service, I've been happy to come by the place for my appointments. Though I've had a few times where I've had to wait a lot longer than expected, it wasn't a big enough issue to take a star off considering everything else.
