See above. I was very eased with my experience with Dr. Cohen. I have seen six opthamologists, three of whkm were ocular plastic surgeons. She is the only one that I feel offered reasonable next steps without making false promises and who suggested diagnostic tests that should have been suggested by the other doctors months ago.

I have been waiting since November to learn more about a procedure that I need. I have followed up numerous times. I became very frustrated and switched to Dr. Cohen. She has been very clear on the process, and I am confident that my request will not be dismissed. Dr. Cohen is very knowledgeable about my condition and the surgery. I left feeling that I had all my questions answered. A++
