I've been seeing Dr. Laborde for 6 or 7 years now. He performed one surgery on me and with the numerous office visits I've had with him and his staff over the years I have always been treated wonderfully by him and his entire staff. He is extremely knowledgeable in his expertise regarding conditions of the eyes and how to treat them. He is thorough and efficient in everything he does and so is his staff. His staff is also extremely nice and personable and they know many patients by name,

This doctor is very knowledgable and he makes sure you understand what he is explaining. He's very gentle and kind during surgery and afterwards. His entire staff and I mean entire staff are the friendliest people you could ask for and they are very caring. I think the "wait" time that other reviewers have complained about is because Dr. Laborde WILL take his time to answer any questions you have. I've been to see him at least 8 times now and I have no complaints. Dr. Laborde is very personable and professional as is all his staff.

He will treat a patient for an expensive procedure when nothing is wrong. He performs cataract surgery on people who don't really need it. Dishonest Dr.
