Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The staft who schedule the appointment are extremely IRRESPONSIBLE and UNPROFFESSIONAL. They called me three days previous to my appointment to tel me that I had an appointment that day, May 13, 2022, and that Dr. Cotliar will leave a 1:00 pm. They called me at 11:30 am. I told the person who called me that my appointment was for May 16, no the 13. I had to run to the clinic, as I just had cataract surgery, in my left eye on May 10, 2022. On May 13, I was given an appointment for June 9, to see Dr. James Kelly, Dr.'s Cotliar associate; and another appointment to see Dr. Cotliar, on June 30, 2022.

I showed the Dr.'s card with the appointment day, which was June 9. I was seen by Dr. Kelly that day; June 9.

I never did get to see Dr Cotliar. I was referred to him by my ophthalmologist-called him the fist week of December-obtained an appointment for the first week of January-only to be rescheduled by his office for mid January-and then subsequently rescheduled by his office yet again for the end of January. Not knowing if I would ever actually see him I gave up on him and saw another doctor as I was in urgent need of cataract surgery. On top of the repeated rescheduling without reason, his office staff was unapologetic and rude.
