“One of the best eye docs I've come across. Went there for my son. He was thorough. He runs a little behind in his appointments because he really takes his time for the eye exams. He's super funny too - could've been a standup comic if he wanted a second career! I went there for my kid getting an eye injury - highly recommended for kids.”

Verified patient
Dr. Lieb is amazing. It was my husband's first visit with him for a potentially very serious problem. He immediately put us at ease with his friendly and reassuring manner, and most importantly, was extremely thorough and hands on with his exam. He consulted with my husband's internist re further testing, and even called us up the following day to make sure we were following up with his recommendations! I was so impressed with Dr. Lieb, that I'm going to schedule my own routine eye exam with him. He is a genuine treasure and I highly recommend him to all! KK
Dr Leib, is a true professional that cured my eye infection. His humor is awesome and he has all the right tools for a quick diagnosis. Amazing doctor with fantastic beside manners. :)
