CEI WAS AMAZING. DR OSHER AND HIS ENTIRE STAFF WERE SO NICE, SO PROFESSIONAL AND SO THOROUGH. THEY ALL PUT NE AT EASE ABOUT HAVING SURGERY.
Very thorough and efficient with every person who helped me
I was very pleased at the extremes they go to get to the problems and I would recommend their services. They go to a lot of details and explain what they are doing. Very easy experience.
Dr Osher and all other associates were very professional and put me at ease with my upcoming eye surgery.
Saw Dr. Osher. Very knowledgeable, patient, explained everything very well, asked if I had questions. He checked all tests and then double checked them. Love that! Can't be too careful when surgery is involved! All his staff was wonderful!
The wait is horrific! Almost six hours from check in to leaving! Dr. Osher (senior) is sooo sweet. Not clear why so long and why they don't prepare you for that. I almost left to pickup my grandson but waited and luckily got there just in time. Six hours is inexcusable for an office visit.
