Testimonials

"Dr. Leon, has been my father's doctor for several years. He has always treated us with the most respect and compassion. He is very knowledgeable and explains things clearly. We happily travel 1.5 hours each way just to have him as our doctor!"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Leoncavallo for two years. He has removed cataracts from both eyes and is also treating me for glaucoma. He is thorough, patient, professional, and top notch, in my opinion. He has a good way of putting you at ease. I did not rate the last area as I have not had any reason (since my surgeries) for anyone to follow up after my visits. I cannot say enough good things about his staff. They are courteous, professional, and skilled at putting their patients at ease. I highly recommend this team of professionals."

"Excellent care by Doctor Leoncavello and staff. Very efficient but personal service. I could not see at all out of my affected eye until the cataract was removed at the surgery center and instantly had great vision. Would definitely recommend Eye Center South to any and all!"
