i have been a patient at the this practice for many years. Dr. Telahun has been my doctor for about five years. she may be a good doctor if you can get pass her arrogance. she is about making money and has been pushing me for 2 years to have cataract surgery. i was 10 years ago that i would need the surgery many years down the road. i have no complaints my vision. she could never tell me the size of the cataracts. she would always refer me to her assistant for questions like she did not have time to answer. when i expressed concern if this procedure was premature she made a smart comment about well they are your cataracts. the next visit she came up with another problem with my eyes, stating if you don't do the cataract surgery then i would have to have laser surgery on the one eye. i decided to get second opinion. i was told my cataracts would probably be ready for surgery in about 2 years but vision was good.

I was scheduled for eye surgery and waited over 4 hours before I was seen. I think Dr. Telahun schedules patients too close together which does not allow for possible complications.
