Terrible! I waited over 2 hours in the office. The office is very solemn. He was running in and out of the rooms. I attempted to ask a question, he refused to answer it. He was curt and rude and making me nervous during the exam. He didn't explain anything. I heard he was good once but not any longer. There were 20 people waiting for him when I left. I don't know if he knows what he's doing anymore
I love him he and his staff has been very nice to my brother and I and we live in bklyn and been going there for like 5 yrs now
He is very good doctor I will suggest him to all my friends!
After I retired and no longer worked in the city, I had few reasons to continue to see doctors in Manhattan. I live in Brooklyn and public transit is not very convenient. I switched to medical professionals more local to me. But I won t stop making annual visits to Dr. Cohen. He and his staff provide the essence of top notch health care. I do sometimes have a long wait if he s busy but I get complete attention and through gentle care once I m in the exam room. Dr. Cohen knows my diabetes needs careful attention to my eyes and he gives me confidence that I am healthy. He sent me to a retina specialist when that became needed. I can recommend Dr. Cohen enthusiastically and I hope he stays in practice for a long time. He s my favorite doctor because he is so competent and because he s a mensch. Great staff. Easy to get an appointment. Takes many insurance types.
Dr. Cohen is a truly conscientious and excellent physician.
I have been seeing Dr Cohen since 1988, which may have been right around the time he opened his office on 5th Ave. I have always found him to be gentle, caring and having all the time for me that I have needed.
Even when I hadn't seen him for years, when I saw him again he remembered me as a person and not just as a patient.
I live on W 225th St now but I will still make appointments to see Dr Cohen. I can't imagine seeing any other eye doctor for comprehensive care, so I hope Dr Cohen has many years of practice ahead of him.
I saw Dr. Cohen yesterday as an emergency. I was under the assumption that I had a retinal detachment.
After a short wait, I was seen first by his nurses who conducted a detailed eye history as they ran some preliminary tests. In addition, some drops were placed in my eyes as I was instructed to wait in the waiting room to be seen by Dr. Cohen next.
When I was examined by Dr. Cohen, he immediately put me at ease, reassuring me that there is always a solution. It turned out that I don t have retinal detachment despite the suggestive symptoms.
He explained to me in details what to expect in my particular situation and he instructed me to reschedule an appointment in a month for follow up.
I am so glad I saw Dr. Cohen and his attentive staff yesterday.
A qualified and experienced doctor with advanced knowledge and skills is worth waiting for.
Without any doubt, Dr. Cohen is worth every second of the waiting.
Hi,
I have been going to Dr Leeber for years and I truly believe he is the best I referred him to my friends and family and no regrets.
God bless you Doctor.
Fina.
The office staff is very polite and helpful, Dr. Cohen is very knowledgeable and has a lot of experiences in his field.
Overall great experience. Office staff are on top of things and Dr. Cohen is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Dr. Cohen is thorough, clear, and very kind; he takes the time to explain exactly what's going on, without condescension. The waiting time is lengthy, but I figured out that it was due to the fact that he takes the time to take care of each patient, regardless of what is needed. Felt very confident I was in good hands.
Dr. Cohen saved my life. Simple as that. He is the single nicest, most competent and most compassionate doctor I have ever encountered. The staff is, without exception, professional, friendly, easy to work with, easy to communicate with, competent and I'm just realizing as I write this review that they are completely effective at making a typically anxiety producing experience one that is an absolute pleasure.
The short version of my story is that I was given a referral to Dr. Cohen and the general doctor making the referral didn't take my situation seriously. I was essentially blind in my left eye. When I got the referral info, I called his office and said "I think this maybe shouldn't wait." Dr. Cohen called me back, and agreed - mind you, he had never met me before. He saw me the next day, and the day after that I was in the hospital for treatment. Within 5 days, my vision was completely restored. He saw something very rare in my eye that would have killed me if it went untreated for much longer.
So, friends, I do not exaggerate one bit when I say that Dr. Cohen saved my life. If you need an eye doctor, he is a supremely qualified one. He accepts lots of insurance.
When you thank Dr. Cohen, he says, "My pleasure." I believe him, and it always makes my day when I hear him say it. He really is the best. And it's my pleasure to finally write something publicly about what he did for me after all these years because I really owe my life to him.
