Ilan Cohen, MD

On August 20^th I got LASIK eye surgery on both my eyes. Before deciding to proceed with Dr Cohen I went and spoke to 4 different LASIK centers. Dr Cohen and his staff were very quick to respond via email and phone. My friend had gotten her LASIK done with Dr Cohen last year and was raving about him. After getting confirmation from all of them except one weird outlier that I was a candidate I had to decide which doctor to move forward with.
One big component to this is the cost. Dr Cohen was flexible in helping me reach the price I could pay while keeping in mind the recommending path for my type of eyes. I ended up purchasing the Groupon they had running at the time. They were detailed in checking my cornea depth and vision to ensure it would be successful. The day of the surgery I went in at 9am to get dialated. Dr Morar confirmed my eyes looked great and I was ready!
At noon I returned for my surgery. I took the valium to ease my nerves. Dr Cohen came in and talked me through the entire process. I elected that he would be the one to make the flap, not the laser machine. When I laid down he walked me through each and every step. I am a visual person so I appreciated him detailing what was happening each second. Barely 15 minutes later we were done. I could already see 80% better than I could when I arrived. My vision was –8 in contacts so I can barely see anything so 80% is already incredible.
In the couple weeks after my surgery I had some light halos. It has been a month since the surgery and everything is absolutely perfect and the halos have gone away. I am so thankful to Dr Cohen and the team as a whole.

So happy I decided to do LASIK! I had my surgery a month ago, and the results have been amazing. I wish I had decided to do it long ago. Dr. Cohen, Dr. Morar, and the rest of the staff were all patient, friendly and professional, as well as extremely knowledgeable. Dr. Morar took the time to fully explain all my options, the steps of the surgery, and any side effects. I never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision. I was pretty nervous for the surgery, and everyone was very comforting and talked me through each step of the surgery, so I knew what to expect. Another plus is the center looks well-​kept and clean. I would highly recommend Dr. Cohen and Dr. Morar for your LASIK surgery. It’s the most amazing feeling to be able to wake up the next day and see perfectly without glasses or contacts!

I was very pleased with my LASIK surgery. Drs. Morar and Cohen are professional, informative, and patient. They did an excellent job; my surgery was quick and painless. I would highly recommend their services.

i have had icl consultation and exams with dr. cohan, dr. Morar and their staff. they are very helpful and responsive! though i haven’t decided to go forward with the surgery yet but from my experience they have been professional, courteous and very knowledgable! and also not pushy or trying to selling you surgery which i like

I had a LASIK with Dr. Cohen after a consultation with Dr. Morar. I could not be more pleased with the results. The experience was painless and unbelievably fast. This was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Excellent service, nice atmosphere and results that have thus far been outstanding. I have been a physician at Columbia in NY for 10+ years, & have much experience as patient and physician in this city. Dr. Cohen & each member of the staff handled my evaluation, surgery and postop care in a courteous & professional manner. At 42, I am now 9 days postop (LASIK), with only regret that I didn’t do it sooner. I’m just one person, but my experience was very positive.
