Steven Leibowitz, MD

I was referred to Dr. Leibowitz by several friends when I just moved to LA three years ago. I waited probably five minutes to see the doctor which was very fast compared to other doctors. He takes you into the exam room himself and doesn’t make you wait for him for another ten minutes in the room. The second I walked into the exam room I immediately felt comfortable and at ease. Compared to other doctors, for his level of expertise and education, you are getting the services he offers for a great price! I would definitely recommend the doctor to everyone I know in the area. Since then, I have seen him for several issues and annual checkups and he has been great every time. His staff is great and the ease with which I can make an appointment is a plus.

Desperate I needed to see a doctor immediately because I woke up with swollen eyes. When I called they made an appointment the same day. When I walked in the staff was welcoming and greeted with a smile. Shortly after checking in I was seen a few minutes after. The doctor came out and introduced himself, we talked and he answered all the questions that I had. He was very pleasant and intelligent, assured me that everything was going to be okay. A few days after the appointment I received a letter from his office stating that I hope I enjoyed the visit and if I had any questions to call. Overall my experience with Dr. Leibowitz and his staff was great I would highly recommend to anybody for any issues that they may be having with their eyes. Also note that he has several offices to where is most convenient.

The instant I walked in to the tiny, uncomfortable waiting room I could tell this wasn’t going to be good. The receptionist didn’t greet me, as she was busy eating, so I announced that I had an appointment to which she mumbled something. From there, she handed me forms to fill out, proceeded to charge my credit card and all the while not being at all polite.
After waiting another 20 minutes, the doctor was able to see me but was very short with me and didn’t explain things very well. He answered his phone and walked out of the room in the middle of the exam, and not for an ocular emergency, as the conversation was very casual. The doctor asked if I wanted a specific procedure done, failing to mention it cost an additional $ 300, then didn’t even offer any kind of a solution for the «misunderstanding».
All in all, this guy is clearly more interested in making a buck than actually helping people and it’s very apparent. I will obviously not be returning to this office. I would have given zero stars if I could have.
