Great care! Very thorough!
Reassuring and never rushing through when I have questions or concerns
knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. Positive experience.
He’s the best
Professional all the way let me know exactly what was going on and how we're going to fix it.
He seemed very much in a hurry and very impersonal. For my first visit I was hesitant and he rushed off. Cataract surgery is a big deal for me at my age.
Dr. Lenci explained what could be going on that's causing my vision problems. I didn't really want cataract surgery, but I thought for sure that I would need it, as my vision has gotten worse over the past few months. He provided a much less invasive treatment that he believes will improve my vision, so that was a relief for me. Meraviglioso!
Dr. Lenci was in a rush. He ignored two of my main concerns.
Knowledgeable, experienced, kind, and honest. Great experience!
He was kind and knowledgeable.
