The office staff was very kind. I had a long wait time, but the office has a pleasant atmosphere so I didn't mind. However, when Dr. Cohlmia came to do my assessment he took very little time to check my eyes and stopped midway through. My appointment lasted about 7 minutes. I don't know if it was a bad day, but I was very disappointed with the level of care he offered.

Dr. Cohlmia is the doctor to go to for cataract surgery. His diagnosis is spot on. His technique is fast and excellent. I am completely satisfied with the results and with our relationship. He will work with you to make sure you can have the treatment you need. His communication is outstanding. He is the doctor you want to do your cataract surgery.

I saw Dr. Cohlmia after he was recommended by a friend of mine to remove the Cataracts in my eyes. After a thorough exam he recommended surgery and to correct my astigmatism, he recommended the Toric Lens. I was so happy I paid the extra money and got that,it's worth every penny & in the long run cheaper than glasses. His staff was very helpful in scheduling and answering all the questions I had. It was a very pleasant experience & I would highly recommend him to my friends.

Dr. Sam Cohlmia does unnecessary eye surgeries!!!!! He told my mother she had bad vision, did a surgery and made it worse!!! She went to another doctor who could not believe he had done this. He said he is familiar with him and his unethical practice and told my mother she needs to report him!! You have been warned!!!!!
