Had cataract surgery. Didn’t feel a thing. All went well!!
I always have a good experience with Doctor Cotter and his staff.
Extremely sociable and professional. Always ready to listen to your concerns.
He did all of 5 mins of work said I could get glasses but they didn’t take my insurance so this was a waste of time
