I trust Dr. Cote and her judgment. She is personable and welcoming. When I needed her help with the DMV (Yikes!) she worked me in for an exam and then explained (again) how I can take better care of my eyes and explained the minimum requirements for driving, which she says I meet. She has been my doctor for about 16 years. Over the years I have referred my mother, my father and my sister to her. I spend a ridiculous amount of time driving to see her (from work in Anaheim).. but I keep coming because I trust her. Thanks Dr. Cote! 0

Dr. Cote has examined my eyes for over 20 years. She is the most thorough and medical professional I've known in my 66 years. Her knowledge and demeanor are topnotch. She has guided me through my journey with cancer and cataracts. I wouldn't trust my eyes to anyone else..

The reason I went to a PPO was to be able to go to her.
