It took quite a while for Dr. Cotter to exam my eyes after two technicians said : Dr. Cotter will be right with you. His exam was quick. I appreciated getting sample OTC eye drops.
Excellent treatment and service! Great knowledge of equipment and procedures! And Dr Cotter is always a treat to see him! RIP Dr Pfohl! 😥😥
