Patient Reviews
Jan 17, 2023
Dr. Cohen is an excellent doctor, however his office staff is very unreliable. Twice they have forgotten to put my file into the holder for my doctor so I ended up sitting in the waiting room for an hour until I asked them what was going on. Then when I had cataract surgery they failed to order the eye drops ahead of the surgery because their computer system was down, they said, and I couldn't get all of the drops I needed until the day following surgery.
