Daniel Cotter, M.D.

Dr. Cotter has been my ophthalmologist for 12 years. He is efficient( as are staff) and he takes time to listen about any concerns. I would recommend him to all!

Very professional and pleasant. I hoped for a better explanation the main reason for my appt.--floaters in my right eye (e.g. chances I will get them in left eye, what can be done if my condition gets worse.....)

Always polite,friendly and respectful!!

He was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Looked at my eyes, stood up then opened the door to exit. Behaved impatient, rushed and bothered when I attempted to ask questions. The office was gossiping & mocking an elderly woman because she has Medicaid for insurance. To end it all, I waited well over an hour to be seen just for him to rush out. Very unprofessional & lacking any empathy or common courtesy. Lost my business although I'm certain it is of no concern to him or ECVA. I've written this review because word of mouth builds capacity.

I have brrn with Dr Cotter for a number of years. He is always professional and friendly

I trust Dr Cotter, he has taken care of my eyes for a long time and if not for him I could have lost my eyesight. He’s the best!

Dr. Cotter's staff is totally professional, friendly and caring and you know it from the moment you are greeted at the front desk. As a patient, Dr. Cotter is extremely knowledgeable and is very hospitable as an ophthalmologist. As always, when I leave his office, I feel like I have received the best care.Thanks to Dr. Cotter and his staff for treating me well.

Absolutely 💯 awesome. Thank you 😊

Omg amazing I love him keep up the amazing work

Great

Very good doctor

Wonderful Dr. I was comfortable in the chair and took the time to answer all my questions.

Did not wait long. Dr. was good about not being pushy about surgery. Fine with a conservative choice and reassuring.

My time spent with the doctor was probably under 2 minutes, and that's only because I had questions to ask. Seemed like he just needed to truck onto another patient. It's a factory there.

I really love my Doctor. He make sure I am g

I received answers to my question, Why are my eyesight was declining,

He was very welcoming and answered all of my questions.

I thought the exam was good and he is generally friendly, but he kind of dismissed a concern I expressed that I thought could be related to my eyes with a flippant remark. It may be that the problem is not related to my eyes, but it really felt like he didn’t care much how I resolved it, not his problem. There are kinder ways to convey the suggestion that a diff doctor might be consulted.

Not real clear in communication.

he is always pleasant and thorough. and doesn't rush through my visit

I trust Dr. Cotter to fully monitor my eye health.

Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, thorough.

He was very thorough but I did feel like he wasn’t super interested in me as a patient or how comfortable or well I felt

I was treated with such gentle compassion, patience and respect by both Dr Cotter and his staff.

No bedside manner. Was gruff and quick and not very informative. Would not really listen. Saw for all of 7 nminutes.

Conservative treatment. Honest evaluations. Great results.

Very nice

👍

Spent very little time with patient , really didnt answer my questions, seemed in a hurry

Very good

I find Fr. Cotter to be brusque, cocky, and unwilling to listen. I won’t be going back to him.

Was given wrong prescription after cataract surgery. Because did not purchase glasses at Eye Care Center, doctor very dismissive of my choice. I paid 120 dollars for a wrong prescription. Would like to be reimbursed for that cost.

Dr has good personal interactions with me

Dr. Cotter was professional and thorough. His manner was kind and thoughtful.

Very attentive and concerned about Health needs. Takes his time and answers all questions clearly and carefully. Amazing Doctor!

Very professional

He is the best, a straight shooter.

Dr Cotter,(and all of His personnel),were very courteous and efficient!I was very pleased.

He was very pleasant and was able to diagnose my my eyesight and and have me come back in 6 months my other doctors he just kind of was very unfriendly very rude and telling me I'm going blind and that there's nothing I can do where he's in give me the same diagnose so I appreciate that and I hope to continue.

So professional

Excellent I was in and out Very professional and courteous

Did me a solid by getting me in on short notice. Really appreciate it

Wonderful well focused professional. He has a great demeanor and great with his patients. I have seen other doctors in this field at the common chain vision centers and I never left their centers feeling like a cared about individual- never going back to them, Dr.Cotter and ECV staff on Elmwood Ave. are tops in the field: knowledge, caring, courtesy, professional.

We were afraid of a bad report. Everything went well. Dr Cotter ordered extra testing to be sure. Put us at ease by explaining everything. Excellent doctor!

Dr. Cotter is a very competent doctor! However, I find his 2 minute exam lacking in sharing results of exam and discussion of present and future care...appears to be rushed..in and out!

Succinct in explanations, cordial and approachable when you have questions.

Just met him.

Dr.Cotter,, always takes the time to answer any concerns or questions that I have.

Attentive and caring

A terrible Dr

He was fantastic and also talked friendly

Had a problem with broken blood vessel in eye, called office and they brought me in next day, very relieved the staff was so efficient.

Great ophthalmologist!!

Dr Cotter is a very concerned eye doctor

I have been going to Ecva for years and look forward to my appointments everyone from the office staff to the doctors are so caring and are they ever good at their jobs. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Comes in. Does a few tests and he’s gone. Quick and thorough.

Actually, I'd give Dr Cotter a 3.5 stars rating compared to Dr Dusse whom I find decidedly unfriendly.

Always professional. Pleasant efficient staff. Prompt service. Glad they stay in the city.

Dr. Cotter is caring and professional. He answered my many questions concerning cataract surgery and it was very successful, no problem at all.

This is one doctor that makes me feel comfortable , answers all my questions , takes his time with me .

Very thorough! Explained everything clearly and what the next step would be

Dr. Cotter and the staff at ECVA were both professional and friendly.

Excellent caring eye Doctor for me . I needed to see him for my very concerning eye infection and got in to see him to examine it. He advised me to continue the home eye care he had set up to follow and my worries about the infection were curbed. I was very thankful to get the appointment.

Friendly and reassuring.

Just need them to be honest with me and explain my options .

From the moment you arrive, until you walk out the door, you are treated with professionalism, courtesy, and friendliness … from the front desk staff and technician to Dave and Dr. Cotter. Without fail, it’s a pleasant and efficient experience!

very professional, cordial

Friendly and professional Greet patients with a smile . I felt comfortable

I found Dr Cotter to be very abrupt . I had to prompt him and ask him several questions before I felt as though I had even received medical advice.

Excellent

Wonderful service and thankful they could handle my emergency infection so quickly

First time @ practice - Dr came in,said take off your glasses. Ok come back & see us on a year to keep track of cataracts. I had never heard that I had cataracts from any other dr He offered no information & only answered a couple of direct questions.i was not happy at all with his manner. He didn't even identify himself of the gentleman who was accompanying him

Always very friendly and professional.

Dr cotter did a good job explaining the procedure and my surgical experience was good.

ver caring and truly cares about his work

Dr cotter is very assuring very confident and makes you feel very secure in any procedures you may need to go through

Been seeing Dr Cotter for about 10 years he and his staff are very professional and good people.

He was recommended, because he was thorough, but he was brusque and cursory.

Very friendly doctor, cared about my issue, gave a few solutions for my issue.

Dr. Cotter is knowledgeable and professional. He is very patient with my elderly mother.

Did not seem particularly interested in the details of the eye incident I experienced. Just did a quick exam and left.

Very professional , all-around excellent visit!

Service was poor. Doctors were way behind on appointment times. Unprofessional employees and staff.

On time, clear and concise diagnosis,

He really cares about my eyes, and always considers whether more could be done to improve my sight. He is very sincere about this, and I appreciate it.

I felt rushed when asking Dr. Cotter questions about my exam. He appeared to be a little impatient and in a hurry...

Staff is wonderful. Doctor is very personable. Explains clearly and answers questions without hesitation

Very good

Dr. Cotter is an outstanding eye MD . He’s caring and very helpful to me his patient. I needed emergency care and I received it from him . He’s always helped my eye care needs.

Awesome

All of you are Very nice

Thorough examination and clear explanation. Addressed my questions. Running late for appointments

First time patient felt very comfortable with Dr. Cotter

I received very friendly, professional care. Only problem is the wait time to be seen by the doctor, although I can expect that not knowing what emergency may have occurred.

Amazing

Thorough, efficient, listens to concerns -staff as well as doctor

Dr. Cotter is thorough, friendly and helpful. I have been in his care for a number of years and feel he is very trustworthy. I highly recommend.

Thank you very much

Very happy with Dr Cotter’s care and experience.

Personable and professional.

It was my first time seeing an optomologist . He was very nice and I would recommend him to family and friends.

Thankful for the thorough eye exam I 'm getting.

Seemed spacey this day (didn't used to). Gave instructions which didn't make a lot of sense to me; I couldn't get clearer answer.

I was satisfied with the service.

I feel very confident in his knowledge and professional manner. Also, he’s very pleasant.

Doctor is very good but doctor staff is very bad. Behavior also so bad.

Eyeglasses script still not right nearly two years after cataract surgery, and Cotter says it’s not worth changing. Lots of blurriness in morning and strain on eyes trying to read.

Great experience with Dr. Cotter and his entire staff. I ordered new glass from the optical dept even those my five-year-old pair look almost new and with minimal change in my prescription.

Great doctor listens when you talk.

Very good service. The whole operation feels a bit clinical. Aaron, the tech, was outstanding.

Quick, polite, concise

Doctor Cotter is such a caring Eye physician he makes sure he examines your eyes carefully and his personality is warming. He deserves a Ten 10

I always feel that I’m in the best of care when I see Dr. Cotter for my vision issues. He listens, advises and really does whatever he can to help me, and has always done so since my first visit to ECVA. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for eye care.

Very nice to talk to.

Very nice and personable

Communication was minimal, cold, distant and acted like he was totally disinterested.

What u look for in a caring and excellent doctor

Very n2

Doctor daniel cotter always been great .

Ewonderful ccare in all respective p

Personable, professional.

Dr. Cotter and his staff are excellent in delivering great patient care. My appointments are always on time and everyone is so courteous. This is a great team of professionals.

I waited for the doctor for 40 mins just for him to come into the room and do a quick two second thing and rush the appointment.

I do not think Dr. Cotter is taking COVID safety protocols seriously. I had to ask Dr. Cotter to pull his mask over his nose and there were significant gaps on the sides of his mask which pose risks to his patients.

Very happy with my care

Very friendly and professional staff.

Not very social, didnt even ask why i was there (in fairness, he did know from assistant im sure) no real explanation for the problem. very quick, no small talk

Clean and orderly operation, Very professional

He was very thorough.

Dr cotter was very assuring and confident and made me feel less anxious for my upcoming surgery

Always very pleasant and informative. Answers all questions in a way that can be understood.

The nurse who attended to me was somewhat rude, kept telling at me "you gotta blink those eyes". Did not care for her condescension nor her attitude.

Yesterday was my first visit with Daniel Cotter. He entered the room with another fella, no one identified themselves, It took me a minute to determine who Dr. Cotter was. Very business like with little to no conversation with me, - the patient. Very quick visit/exam. In and out.

Very good. Will go to him again for any eye pry!

Very efficient and helpful

Dr. Cotter has always been helpful and answered all of my questions.

Excellent
