Front desk staff was rude and condescending. Treated senior patients as though they could not hear when it was obvious we could. When asked for an updated eye glasses prescription asked with we wanted one because we scratched our glasses like we were bad children. Appointment setting staff was the worst. Refused to schedule a time we could come and would not stop harassing us to accept the time they wanted to give us even though we explained we couldn't do that due to work. Asked to make it for the following week to see if a better time was available and wouldn't do it. Stay away. I refuse to let my mother go back there. We were the second patients that day to walk out angry and disgusted with the front desk staff.

It took @ 2.5 hours from my appointment time to get to the finish line. It is always worth the wait for Dr. Edelman, and I know he runs late because he actually takes time to talk with each patient commensurate to their need. I do wonder if there might not be a tendency to book too many appointments too close together because one can count on a protracted visit.

Coastal Eye Institute was recommended by my General practitioner for evaluation due to diabetes. I found them to generally be diligent, Knowledgeable, and efficient in their work. I found their junior staff genuine and personable. What I did not find was a staff focused on the patient. As a new patient with a referral my expectation was to have an initial consultation to discuss why I was there, and an explanation of what procedures needed to be run and why, with a follow up consultation immediately after the procedures. Instead their process was to immediately begin running a battery of examinations without any explanation. The entire time I was wondering if they were truly necessary, or if it was simply to inflate the insurance billing. At the end of the visit I did meet with the ophthalmologist as they completed evaluation, but I was less than impressed as they seemed annoyed to answer any questions that I had. If you are an individual that simply needs professional testing done then they are well equipped and knowledgeable to perform those services, and would recommend them. If you are a person that wants to actively participate in your healthcare by understanding and questioning then I would recommend you seek another practice.

We have been patients of Dr. Friedberg for many years. I have always received the best treatment, and all questions have been answered throughly. The staff consists of professional individuals who strive to provide excellent care. My husband and I strongly recommend Coastal Eye Institute!

They overbook appointments. I was scheduled for 8:15 today. It is now 8:45 and I'm still waiting.
