I had cataract surgery and it was the best surgical experience I had. Everything flowed smoothly. Everyone was nice, informative and knowledgeable. I had been so anxious before the surgery knowing that I was going to be awake and Show moreI was awake but did not “see” anything coming at me, like I had thought, except colors. Did not feel any pain and it was over so quickly that I did not even have time to settle into the OR table. Dr. Cotliar you and your staff rock!!!
Everyone acted in a professional manner but not very friendly. As before, I arrived a few minutes early and had to wait for an hour and a half. Unfortunately, I commented that I was becoming impatient but the physician madeShow more no response. I have decided that despite the good care that I receive at Columbia, where I was on the Neurology staff for many years, I will go back to my Ophthalmologist in Westwood NJ.

Just the wait time is a bit ridiculous. Waited way too long to be called in for the first time. 45 mins! Since I’m using Dr Cotliar the last 30 years that has been always the case. He’s a great doctor!!!!

Despite now living over 8 hours away from NYC, we would never go to another eye doctor. Dr. Cotliar is really the best.
Excellent. Staff was kind, considerate, careful in keeping equipment sanitized and answered all questions. Doctor took the time to examine and answer all questions. Expect a wait but know that when your turn comes they take all the necessary time with you.
