About Dr. Leon

I specialize in Eye Care. I became a healthcare provider because I enjoy interacting and caring for children and their families. My patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I love to play with my patients to get the information I need to provide the best care possible.

My little something extra

My family is from Columbia in South America. I was born in New Orleans and raised in Columbia.

I feel happy knowing that my daughter is being treated by one of the best doctors.

Dr. Leon is by far the most knowledgeable and professional doctor. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Dr. Leon has been my daughter's Opthamalogist since she was an infant. She is now almost 13. He is always very receptive to our questions and concerns. He explains, gives options, possible outcomes and the whys for his decisions. I feel treatment plans and surgeries are always tailored to what is best for my daughter overall. She's comfortable talking to him which makes a difference.

Every single appointment is over an hour and a half to 3 hours long. No other Dr takes this long to see a patient. My time is never respected. Three other people are in my child's face examining his eyes before the actual ophthalmologist and by that point my child is restless, aggravated and beyond ready to leave.
