Wills Eye Institute: Nelson Leonard B MD

"Lovely experience with Dr. Nelson. My daughter is very shy and he was thoughtful and patient. While she didn't need corrective lenses right now, we scheduled an appointment in six months (along with her twin sister) to track vision. Front desk was equally kind and helpful."

"The Doctor did not use gloves the whole time she worked on my son. She had her back towards me the whole time. This doctor focused more on the Resident learning. I felt left out of the equation. I am a a nurse myself and she uses bad practices. The resident/student didn’t even use gloves. I went to wash my hands in the room to notice there was no soap. So in between patients the were only using sanitizer."

"Dr. Nelson is the best! He operated on my son when he was two years old, saved his left eye from atrophy. Thirty years later, the same son had severe double vision after brain cancer diagnosis. Dr. Nelson went out of his way to help him - did surgery on him again asap and fixed the problem. We are so grateful to this caring, excellent physician! Thank you, Dr. Nelson!"

"Dr Nelson is amazing ! He fixed my strabismus after a year long journey of having an unknown etiology with many trips to different doctors and concerns that this would never go away. He was compassionate during my surgery process and made sure to Explain everything thoroughly so I knew exactly what would be going on as I was alone during the pre op process due to the new covid protocols. His staff at main line surgery were amazing and comforting. If I could give all the stars I would ! AMAZING! traveled 2 hours back and forth to see him. Would recommend everyone near and far."

"I don't recommend Dr. Nelson. I am disappointed in my visit to Dr. Nelson. Despite the fact that the doctor wants to look smart and professional, in reality, he made the wrong prescription for my son's glasses. He measured fast and did not pay attention to the details. When I pointed out to him that it was wrong, he just didn't listen to me. He may seem to be good for people who don't understand measurements, but I have a serious concern about his professionalism. As a result, I got wrong prescription for 10 minutes visit and wasted two hundred dollars."
