Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best in Delaware!
I have had the perfect cataract surgery experience: excellent outcome, superb pre- and post-op care, and the knowledge that my surgeon is skilled and meticulous in his approach to vision care. I am a retired anesthesia provider and have had the opportunity to observe many hundreds of cataract surgeries over the years; I chose Dr. Lebowitz as my surgeon. I could not be more satisfied.

Cataract surgery and Toric implants
Cataract removal in April 2017 and the right eye cataract removal surgery May 2022. The doctor also did Toric implant in 2017 and one in 2022. I was nervous about the second implant because I had a detached retina in 1986. Dr. Leibowitz was very skilled and knew what he was doing. He calmed my nerves and did an excellent job. Thank You!

An outstanding experience
Dr. Lebowitz removed cataracts from both eyes, in two procedures 16 days apart. Everything went perfectly and I'm delighted with the results. The entire process was well organized, with clear written instructions for surgery preparation and post-surgical care as well as a schedule of follow-up appointments. The surgeries were completely pain-free and Dr. Lebowitz made them stress-free as well, with ongoing reassurances during the procedures and with phone calls before and after surgery. I had no pain or discomfort of any sort during or after the surgeries and now I have outstanding vision. Everything is much clearer and much, much brighter than it used to be. The results are outstanding. And everything about the process was extraordinarily good. Dr. Lebowitz is highly skilled and is a consummate professional. I recommend him enthusiastically.

arguably the best medical experience i have had
Dr Lebowitz did my cataract surgeries in May 2022 and I could not be more pleased with the results. The procedure was totally painless and the results are evident within a few hours. truly amazing. From the initial visit, through the procedure and the followups Dr Lebowitz projects self confidence and expertise which will make you very comfortable with the whole procedure. Highly recommended.

Excellent Cataract Surgery
I'm delighted with the outcome of my cataract surgeries performed by Dr. Lebowitz. After a lifetime of myopia and astigmatism my vision is now 20-20, with astigmatic correction included. Dr. Lebowitz was courteous, competent, and professional, and his support staff were terrific as well. Highly recommended.

From the first visit I was very pleased with Dr Lebowitz. He answered all of my questions and cleared my concerns ( no needles). He advised me that the cataract surgery would take approximately 5 to 7 minutes and it did for each of my surgeries. The surgery center staff was very friendly and professional. The surgeries were very successful and I wish that I had done this a long time ago.

Truly can’t say enough positive comments regarding Dr.Lebowitz. He did my cataract surgery & I was so happy that I chose him. Exceptionally competent,& kind. He called me the evening before each surgery which I found rare nowadays & very much appreciated. Dr.Lebowitz is very approachable & welcomes questions. He is a fine example of what every ophthalmologist should be. His whole demeanor makes the patient confident that his expertise is SUPERIOR. As I said, Just can’t say enough positive comments about him. Thank you Dr. Lebowitz. ( my review has the results of my being a nurse & having worked with many surgeons over the years. ie: I am very “picky”.

From the clear discussions during the first evaluation through the pre- and post-surgery calls and the surgery itself, Dr. Lebowitz ensured I was happy, had my questions answered, and understood the entire process. His skill and the choice of lenses left me seeing 20/20 and reading just as well.

Dr Lebowitz’ nursing staff at the Silverside Road office is friendly, efficient, and perhaps as important, on time. With few exceptions I was called to my exam within 5 to 10 minutes of my appointment time. This is rare enough in physicians’ offices that it is notable. Dr Lebowitz himself is friendly, explains problems and solutions clearly, and efficient. His “bedside manner” in the OR is great (I was relaxed but awake), and makes what little discomfort there is acceptable. Perhaps most important is that as a high myope (extremely nearsighted) since age six, I am now 20/20! Thank you!

Dr Lebowitz operated on both of my eyes to remove cataracts and implant lenses. Both procedures went very smoothly, and both were done within 15 minutes of Dr Lebowitz's beginning. My postoperative care has been thorough and well done by his team. I appreciate Dr Lebowitz's affable dealings with his patients and his taking the time to answer my questions over many years and, in particular, before and after these procedures. He told me that he has performed about 25,000 cataract surgeries during his medical career.

Due to the pandemic, I had to delay my cataract surgery. This caused my vision to significantly deteriorate. I was unable to see clearly, drive, or read. My vision was overwhelmed by floaters and high sensitivity to glare. Once I decided to have the cataract surgery done by Dr. Harry Lebowitz, I felt relieved since I have known him for several decades and had complete trust in him. The staff were very professional and helpful in informing me about how to prepare for the surgery. Then came the surgery itself which lasted about six minutes without any discomfort. At the conclusion, Dr. Lebowitz informed me that “everything went perfect,” which was very good to hear. Ten days later I met with Dr. Lebowitz and informed him that my 20/20 vision was perfect! I am now seeing clearly, am able to drive, and am enjoying reading and the use of the computer. Even my sensitivity to glare and to floaters subsided significantly. All in all, the results are way beyond my expectations!

Today was my final appointment after my cataract surgery (both eyes). It was GREAT! Dr. Lebowitz did my surgery and before the surgery he took the time to explain what would happen and why. He answered all of my questions and did not rush me at any point. Today was the final checkup and everything went great! I've only had minimal problems post surgery. I would recommend Dr. Lebowitz to anyone.

I am not the most relaxed person when it comes to medical procedures, so when the news arrived that I might need cataract surgery for both eyes, I went to Delaware Ophthalmology Consultant for the evaluation with trepidation. It turned out there was no need to worry. The place is well organized; intricate steps for the procedure fit together like a perfect choreographed dance. Everything went smoothly. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The casual chats helped put the patients at ease while maintaining a high level of professional decorum. At one post-op check-up, I went home with a small pot of flowers, the first I’ve ever received from a medical office. That was a thoughtful and classy touch. By the time I completed the recovery process, I felt silly for putting it off so long. Thank you very much, Dr. Lebovitz and THE Team; I didn’t know everyone’s names, but I am grateful for you turning my anxieties into a very positive experience. “You’re doing great!”. Anh M.

Thanks to Dr. Lebowitz, I am very happy to share my recent cataract removal/lens implant experience. Dr. Lebowitz has been my and my husband's ophthalmologist for about 20 years. During the surgery itself, I was calm and confident that Dr. Lebowitz, with his experience and expertise, would assure a successful outcome. The whole process has been nothing short of amazing. It was indeed a pleasure to allow Dr. Lebowitz to do his superior work -- thank you!
