Very professionally nice! Answered all my questions and anticipated others and addressed a well.
He is a very good Doctor but just a little gruff
Dr. Bokosky answered all of my questions and was very patient. The staff is friendly and proficient.
The best doctor! I just love him and appreciate the surgery he did on my eyes. Replacing a new lense! God Blessing! Thank you so much Doctor.
I am so grateful to be part of your family. My eyes are doing so well because of your loving kindness. God bless all of you for all you do to bring healing and hope to many. In prayer Carmen Warner
I find the doctor professional and respectful. He makes eye contact and though he maintains a busy practice, he manages to answer all questions asked. He is thorough, upbeat and positive in his demeanor.
I was having some problems w/a surgery I had done by Dr Sheils, but she was not available, so the office scheduled me w/ Dr Bokosky. He was very short w/me bc he I believe he was not happy having to cover for another dr. I’ve been a patient of Dr Bokosky for over 7 years & never has he treated me that way. I believe he needs to take up his issues w/Dr Sheils & not take them out on hers/his patients.
Excellent excellent excellent
good
Very knowledgeable
