Dr. Brian Le, MD

After what seemed like a routine cataract removal on my left eye by Dr Le while he was practicing at North Country Eye in Encinitas CA, there was a rupture during surgery. I remained under Dr. Le’s care for approx 2 weeks, I was blind and in agony due to pressure in the operated eye, while Dr. Le told me to “wait”. He then recommended me to a retinal surgeon, but to this day after numerous surgeries on the left retina to remove the cataract pieces, and correct a continual retinal detachment - I remain blind in my left eye with no hope of recovery. I wish I had gotten a second opinion before Dr. Le’s surgery on me and I am sure I would have had a different outcome. The vision loss has deeply affected and limited the rest of my life.

Dr. Le listened and explained things well and did not rush through any of my appointments. He seems like someone I would like to hang around with in "real life", and he must be popular as it took months to get my surgery scheduled. Unfortunately the office staff in Escondido is terrible (bordering on rude, did not follow social distancing when it came to the one treatment room with all of the measuring and picture-taking machines).

Came in with a terrible eye infection. I had been to several other doctors and nothing was working. Dr. Le accurately diagnosed it on my first visit and noticed some other complications that were caused by previous treatments I’d been doing. He was thorough and his prescribed treatment worked right away.

I saw Dr. Le for an emergency eye problem I had while I was visiting from out of town. I was very impressed with the thorough examination he conducted and his willingness to explain my condition in detail. He and his staff were very competent, kind, and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him!
