Dr Cothran is efficient, knowledgeable and very caring to her patients. I have always received her complete attention and she reassures me each time I’m there for my visits due to recently diagnosed glaucoma. I’m so glad I was referred to her and EIWF. I see her at both Largo and Central Ave locations.
