Kathleen Leone, MD, FACS

"Dr. Leone is a sweetheart and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to be treated with respect and care. Very personable and an excellent surgeon who walked me through my LASIK surgery with ease and comfort. Thanks for my new eyes!"

"Dr. Leone and her staff were just incredible. I underwent LASIK and now have perfect vision! Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and made me feel at ease during every step of the procedure. Highly recommend!"

"Great experience with Dr. Leone and her staff. They were very attentive and professional for my LASIK and PRK procedures."

"Dr. Leone is kind, professional, and very thorough. She was recommended to me for her skill and honesty. My experiences with her have been wonderful. The LASIK procedure was quick and painless. I will recommend her to anyone I know considering corrective eye surgery!"

"Dr. Leone and the staff at Wilmington Eye made me feel really confident about having a LASIK procedure done on my eyes. They made sure I understood how the procedure worked, what I would need to do for aftercare, and the possible risks associated with it. I was thankful for the way they triple checked everything to make sure I was an eligible candidate for the procedure. Thank you!!"

"Dr. Leone and staff, I cannot thank you enough for! I think it says a lot about a doctor when she gives me her personal cell in case of emergencies and calls to check up on me. I’ve worn glasses and contacts since I was six years old, and I still can’t quite get over the fact that I went from contacts with a prescription of -10.00 (what is that, somewhere in the range of 20/1,000?) to 20/15 vision! It’s amazing to be able to roll out of bed in the morning and not have to reach for glasses!"

"Last month my grandparents surprised me with the gift of corrective eye surgery (Implantable Collamer Lens). Today I had my procedure done and in only one hour after surgery I had 20/15 vision (almost 20/10)!!! I can’t stop looking at things around me. I’ve never seen with such clarity. I never knew such clarity existed! Now my wedding day will be even more beautiful than I imagined (literally) not to mention every day for the rest of my life."

"I never dreamed in a million years that after this surgery I would not have to wear glasses again. I am still in disbelief. The colors around me are vivid and beautiful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the gift of sight. You are an angel."

"Dr. Leone listens to the patient and answers all questions in a clear, concise and easy to understand manner. Literally, every Wilmington Eye team member that I came in contact with conveyed that my comfort and care during my cataract procedure were their top priority. Highly recommend Dr. Leone and Wilmington Eye."

"Dr. Leon was well recommended and I was not disappointed. She was friendly, competent, efficient and best of all the outcome of my cataract surgery has been outstanding. I constantly tell friends and associates of my positive experience."

"I was referred to Dr. Leone by my eye doctor in Myrtle Beach,SC and even though it was 100 miles away, I decided to take my doctor's advise. Glad I did as it was worth the trip and Dr. Leone was really excellent in all ways. I can now see at a distance for the first time in years with 20/20 or 20/40 vision."
