The reviews listed below were collected independently of Retina Associates of Cleveland through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Thus is my 1st time seeing Dr Coney. What an absolute gem! He is personable, friendly and knowledgeable and he put me in my comfort zone as soon as I walked into the room. A doctor with a great « bedside manner », a sense of humor, extremely knowledgeable and compassionate, and very « easy » on the eye ( no pun intended)….what more could you ask for? He’s the best and I look forward to seeing him in a year!

In and out in 3 mins. I couldn't pick him from a line up if I had to. Maybe he was just AI? I don't know but it was so quick and non-personal it felt like I was on an assembly line. The next day I was in so much pain... I highly doubt he really looked at my eye.
