Thoroughly explained everything going on in my eyes. Frustrated by government oversight and demands on his profession, which we all can relate to. Have to figure a way to get in and out quicker. 3 hours, no thanks. Give me a beeper and at least I can go sit in my car or outside. Hated the packed waiting room. Probably only go one more time since no improvement on my sight.

I felt Dr Comey was clearly knowledgeable and clinically excellent but he was running late (by his own admission) and I felt rushed through my appointment

Dr. Coney is a highly professional, well-spoken, and knowledgeable doctor. He has a great personality and excellent bedside manner. He took his time answering all my questions and ensured I fully understood the findings and the necessary course of action. I highly recommend Dr. Coney whenever I have the opportunity.

He frequently walks into the room bluntly saying, “no talking”, yet he continues speaking himself. Using more respectful, professional communication when requesting quiet would create a better patient experience.
