I drove from out of state after a referral by my ophthalmologist, and desperately wanted to like Dr Leibowitz. I originally was supposed to see him in Los Angeles as he comes here once a month but the day before my appointment his office canceled. Since I waited a month for this appointment, I decided to drive to Vegas and see Dr. Leibowitz there . I've been in the medical field as a nurse and as a cancer patient for many years and understand that doctors have different personalities and that surgeons sometimes don't have the best bedside manner. I also understand that people can have bad days. However, Dr. Leibowitz didnt just have poor bedside manner, he was over the top rude, didn't look at me, barely acknowledged me and treated me as if I was a nuisance not worthy of his time. His demeanor was aggressive. He was rushing through our appointment and then with barely any explanation got two syringes and headed for my eye without clarifying what he was about to do. Ive had enough. I called him out on his behavior and told him that at the very least I deserve some basic decency and respect as a human being. I told him that if my presence is such a bother, and he's in a hurry to go see other patients, to please go ahead and do so, because Im leaving. His reply was "you are not doing me any favor by being here". He must've felt somewhat bad because he ended up calming down a bit, explaining what his plan was, drawing a diagram for me, and in the end telling me he's "sorry we started off on the wrong foot". This appointment had me so rattled and upset that I knew I wasn't coming back. I have no problem calling out anyone, including doctors when their behavior is despicable but if you do, I would suggest avoiding this surgeon entirely. If you are easily intimidated, I would avoid him. If you cannot stand up for yourself or don't know your rights as a patient and a human being, stay away from this man. He might be a good surgeon, but I did not find out, because I never came back. From my limited experience with this man, he's not a good human being. There's zero excuse to treat your patients like they're garbage. Last thing I wanted to do was have him operate on me and not feel comfortable to ask him questions or to come to him with complications. I have since found a different surgeon and if I could give this guy zero stars, I would. I have never seen or met a ruder doctor in my life. P.S. Ive been trying to obtain my medical records from this office for the last month and they are saying that they will only release my records if I come there IN PERSON and fill out their "release of records" paperwork. They will not email me the paper, they will not mail me the paper. They want me to fly to Vegas so I can sign a piece of paper. A word of advice, stay away from this place. No one deserves to be treated this way. No one! read more

I had eyelid and brow lift. I'm very pleased with the results. Dr. Leibowitz and his staff were professional from my first visit to final follow up. I would recommend Dr. Leibowitz to anyone. William G. read more

Dr. Leibowitz did both an endoscopic brow lift and ptosis repair this month. I was very pleased with the office based preop consultation and his attention before and after my 2 separate procedures. As a former OR nurse, aware of all that should occur to be patient focused, Dr. Leibowitz "hit it out of the park"! Highly recommend for his skill set, bedside manner and caring approach. read more

Scheduled my appointment for a Tuesday. I show up, and I'm told nothing's on the books. They ask me to wait. 15 minutes later, they tell me again that nothing's on the books. I play the voicemail confirmation from their office for them. Then they say I was accidentally booked for his Vegas office. Doc wasn't even in. Took time off work and wasted an hour for this. But ok. Things happen. I reschedule for two days later. Appointment #2. I schedule time off. Again. This time, I received no confirmation call at all. Strange. Not wanting to waste another drive, I call them to confirm the appointment. Call goes straight to voicemail. For over an hour. Left a voicemail. Never got a callback. Judging by some of the other reviews here, looks like that was a good thing. read more

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. read more

Dr. Steve Leibowitz has been my ophthalmologist for many years. I feel lucky to have a doctor who is at the top of his field taking care of my vision. He is also a great pleasure to talk to. I always enjoy my visits to Dr. Leibowitz's office. Ed S. read more

I'm so glad my ophthalmologist sent me to Doctor Steven Leibowitz to do my eyelid surgery. Doctor Leibowitz explained both pre & post op procedures to my wife & me. even visited my wife post surgery to tell her all went well. Best medical experience in my 83 years. Frank R Inserra read more

Dr. Leibowitz recognized my eye-pressure irregularities and suggested long-term treatment. At the time, there was little research on this condition. However, the research confirmed Dr. Leibowitz's treatment option. The long-term prognosis without treatment would result in increasingly declining vision. I'll be needing my vision for many more years, and Dr. Leibowitz is ensuring I am good for the duration. read more

My experience with Dr. Leibowitz has left me in pain for the past year and a half, unable to wear my glasses because of the incision, and two more surgeries to repair the damage that he did. He told me that he was going to do a minor procedure to open a tear duct in my eye. Instead it was an operation in which he drilled a hold in the side of my nose and inserted a tube. After the surgery he told me not to blow my nose or sneeze for a month. It became infected and I called he office and was told I had to wait two weeks to see the doctor. I went back to my regular ophthalmologist who gave me some medicine that he was surprised I was not using. The tube dislodged and the operation was completely unsuccessful. I have since had two more surgeries to repair the damage and remove the scar tissue. Marian Peterson read more

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. read more

Dr. Leibowitz literally saved my eyesight. Many years ago he was able to diagnose me with glaucoma -- which started way too young for someone my age -- and has carefully monitored my care and medications with all of the necessary follow-ups and checkups to keep me healthy. He also performed my Lasik surgery and my eyesight is still practically perfect more than a decade later. His bedside manner is personable and knowledgeable -- plus he has a great sense of humor and humility and makes me comfortable every time I see him. I can't recommend him enough and everyone who has any type of eye issue I refer them to him above all others. read more

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. read more

Dr. Leibowitz is honestly the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of being a patient of. I was so impressed with his resume. He is well trained; has went to Harvard, Columbia and Stanford. His expertise in general opthamology and cosmetic surgery is unsurpassed. There was a lovely staff of two beautiful ladies that were genuinely nice and very helpful. I did not wait too long and immediately felt very comfortable with the doctor. He is a compassionate, kind hearted and honest doctor who is genuinely concerned about his patients well being. I was sooo impressed by the treatment I recieved I recommended ALL of my friends and family to be treated by him as well. I would give 10 stars if I could! read more

I found Dr. Leibowitz and his staff to be very gracious and warm. I had really bad pain in my right eye, and called him passed regular Dr. hours and his office managed to take me and help me out. Dr. Leibowitz then continued by giving me guide lines on how to prevent the situation from what happened to my eye, happen again...instantly showing he truly does care for his patients and does not just care about a buck. I am thankful for Dr. Leibowitz and his staff for they have not only helped my eye be in perfect condition..but giving me hope that there may be other honest Doctors in other fields. However, my ophthalmologist will continue to be Dr. Steven Leibowitz. read more

This dr was very nice and professional . The dr gave us the option to have my wife's eyes surgery done at UCLA Eye institute instead of Las Vegas. With much better staffing and up-to-date hospital equipment he was able to perform his surgery flawlessly and shorter than expected . He spent time with me before her surgery and told me what he was going to do and what to expect, and how to take care of her after the surgery .He said it's hard after surgery to get out and make his rounds on outpatient surgeries . Which makes sense due to his busy schedule at UCLA . All in all a very great DR in my opinion, and I would recommend Dr Leibowitz to all my family and friend . And anyone needing a Dr that has your best interest . I will also add that I will never subject my wife or myself to another poor excuse for a surgery center or Drs other than the Jules Steiner eye institute at UCLA medical in so cal they are by far one of the best hospitals in the country. And well worth the drive we took from Henderson NV . read more
