I have been a patient of Dr Coats for years. I would never trust any other! Dr Coats and his staff are always about the patient and their wellbeing and making sure their visit in the office is on point. Thank you Ophthalmic Associates Doctors and staff!

Dr. Coates and his team are friendly, skilled professionals. Dr. Coates is a wonderful opthalmologist!! I have used this practice regularly for years and he and his team provide top notch care. They are effecient at scheduling and rarely is there ever any wait. They take all the time you need and assist you with your eye glass selection if you want the help (amazingly patient during this process!!!). The office staff work well with Dr. Coates and with one another. The whole practice has a really welcoming attitude and atmosphere. And their insurance person (thank you, thank you, thank you) goes

I am a new patient and was very impressed with how well the office visit went. There was no wait time, everyone was pleasant and professional. The eye exam with Dr. Coats was thorough. They helped me pick out my glasses with patience. Today for my glasses fitting, when I needed fast service to get back to work, they went out of their way to hurry me through. Much appreciated.n

Not only are wait times minimal and staff efficient and friendly, but Dr. Geoffrey Schwartz is outstanding. He performed glaucoma and cataract surgeries on both my eyes with great results, and his quarterly follow-ups are conducted with precision and care. Most highly recommended.

Quick, efficient and professional service. Have been going to Dr. Coats for years, and have never had an problem. My kids have seen Dr. Lehman and she is wonderful as well. Would recommend without hesitation.

If it wasn't for Dr. Coat's up to date knowledge my son would have definitely lost his eyesight in his left eye due to an infection. I am so grateful that he keeps up with his education and knowledge of recent breakthroughs in medicine. He is amazing!

I made an appointment, showed up 5 minutes early, and close to an hour later still no exam! I needed to have my eye looked at for shingles complications, and was forced to leave because my son had another appointment! When I told the front desk I had to leave they were rude. This place has horrible service to patients! I hope my eye is ok, made an appointment for someone else. I am happy to share my experience with anyone who asks.

Extremely rude front desk people. They close early and give you sass and make you leave when you show up well before closing hours to look at frames. Doctor Coates is rude and tries to rush your appointment to move onto the next patient. No regard for patient needs. Don't waste your time here.

We use Ophthalmic Associates of Ft Washington for my son and my husband. Appointments were easily made, and everyone was very helpful. We have seen both Drs and have felt very comfortable with both, esp when my son had to go. We have also gotten my husbands glasses from there, all of the staff was very helpful and the glasses came in quickly. Would recommend !!
