Stephen Cohen, OD

We have been going to Stephen Cohen since my daughter was an infant. She takes part in his infant program and we are so blessed to have found Dr. Cohen. My daughter was diagnosed with an eye condition by another eye doctor in the area. We went to Stephen to get a second opinion and haven’t looked back. He is so incredibly thorough and knowledgable, I can’t imagine there is any better eye doctor in AZ. He knows how to relate to kids and makes my 3 year old feel like it is fun to go to the eye doctor. They run a variety of tests to determine eye sight and use a few different instruments and equipment. It’s all state of the art! I am very detail oriented and ask a lot of questions, Stephen has all the patience in the world and can explain pros and cons of treatment options, future condition risks, and red flag signs to keep an eye out for. His staff is incredibly professional and friendly. The wait is short and service is top notch. We love going to eye appointments now!

In 2013 I had a traumatic and an almost career ending event with my eyesight, a complete retinal detachment in one eye and a partial detachment in the other. My eye Dr at the time referred me to a specialist for the surgical reattachments and then said «there’s nothing else I can do for you». After reaching out to Dr Cohen, at the recommendation of a coworker, he went above and beyond to help and comfort me during this devastating time in my life. He called after hours to check on me, explained things every step of the way and just kept me calm and comforted! Dr Cohen volunteered to take on my after care and immediately jumped right in! Almost 3 years later, he’s still the exact same way with me! I will never trust anyone else with my eyes or vision again and I would travel to the ends of the earth to be treated by Dr. Cohen!

If you are looking for a great Optometrist who also has a great staff, this is your place. I have been going to Dr. Cohen for almost 20-​years. I no longer live in AZ, but I still come back to him because I could never find a better eye doctor.

If I could give Dr. Cohen and his staff more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. Dr. Cohen was not only extremely polite and funny, he was attentive and listened to what I had to say. After he had done the eye exam and whatnot, I voiced my concern about an issue I was having with my eyes and he immediately did some more testing. The wait time was short, the front desk staff and the lovely lady who helped me pick out frames (I’m sad to say her name has slipped my mind) was so great! Anyways, I would recommend this great group to anyone and everyone!

I will never switch from Dr. Cohen or his office. I highly recommend them as I feel like family every visit.

Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Easy to make appointments and very little down time once you’re in the office Highly recommend!

Been a patient of Dr. Cohen’s for many years now and he is one of the best doctors I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen enough doctors to satisfy a family of 5 and all their neighbors! He actually is the kind of doctor you thought doctors were supposed to be when you were growing up. Great bedside manner, caring, knowledgeable, and responsive. If you have a problem and need to speak to him — he WILL call you back! Unheard of these days — seriously.
His office location is convenient and exceptionally well decorated and clean, sometimes he even gives away samples (like eyeglass cases). His entire staff is full of nice people, probably because he hired people he know would take good care of his patients.
Overall I absolutely recommend this place. A glance at some of my other reviews of medical places will show I run in to a lot of bad places and bad doctors. Way too many out there people! I have some high standards — no apologies. I speak up when places are really good and really bad — just to help out my fellow Unilocalers. Dr. Cohen is one of the best.

Dr. Cohen is very thorough and informative. His staff is friendly and professional. Great selection of frames.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cohen for years and years and years and would never think of trusting my eyes to anyone else!!! Dr. Cohen keeps up on all the new items (i.e. contact technology) that may be best for me versus just assuming that what I have is the item for me. He remembers not only me but all of my immediate and extended family — truly showing his caring nature. The staff is always happy (even with the a/​c was broken!) and helpful. Thank you for always being there for me Dr. Cohen!!!

Dr. Cohen is an amazing doctor! I always feel so welcome in their office. It’s clean, and the staff is so helpful and nice! Dr. Cohen is so sweet and remembers you and makes sure to make you feel like family. He makes you feel very comfortable in his office and explains everything so thoroughly so you can understand what exactly he is doing and what the next steps are. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family!

I had a very concerning issue come up with one of my eyes this weekend and no ophthalmologist offices were open. Dr Cohen had an emergency line and called me back in person to discuss the issue! He made me feel better about what I was experiencing and was even willing to see me today if necessary, but based on our conversation told me we could wait until Monday– he doesn’t have all these great reviews for no reason– excellent customer service and willingness to go above and beyond!!! I don’t write reviews often, but I felt I needed to this time.

Great staff –very helpful and friendly. Can’t wait for my new glasses that I will actually wear out in public. Thanks Dr Steve and staff

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Cohen for many years. The office staff is super, and Dr. Cohen is the best. He answers all of your questions, is thorough, friendly and attentive. He has a wonderfully warm personality. I believe he is one of the few that can actually put drops in my eyes, which is amazing to me. However, more than that, he is knowledgeable, spends the time required to do a full exam, and sets his appointments so there is little to no wait time. His office staff is a reflection on him; competent, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and take the time needed to work with you. He is highly recommended!

If you’re looking for an Eye Doctor in Scottsdale, or for that matter, anywhere in the Phoenix area, look no further than Dr. Stephen Cohen. My whole family has been going to him for 15 or so years and we’ve always received the best care and experience you can imagine. He and his staff are professional and knowledgable, and will take care of all your needs. Dr. Cohen is down to earth and spends a good amount of time with you and makes you feel so welcome and comfortable. His staff takes the time to help you select glasses and just makes the whole process so easy. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for check-​ups or glasses. He and his staff get my highest ratings.

I hit the age where the inevitable has happened and my first experience going through a comprehensive eye exam was effortless. I was seen promptly and Dr. Cohen was easy going and made me feel comfortable. The staff helped me pick a couple pairs of new eyeglasses that look great. I was able to pick up my new eyeglasses in about a week, which I felt was very timely. I definitely reccomend Doctor My Eyes to anyone who appreciates excellent service.

Wonderful, friendly staff. I was seen on time, and felt like my business was genuinely appreciated. I wound up staying for over half an hour after my appointment chatting with the ladies who wrote up my prescription! I am looking forward to my annual appointment! Clean office, easy to find, AND they don’t do the awful eye puff!

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Cohen and the staff at the office. They are amazing! They were friendly, patient and very helpful. Taking a child for their first exam/​glasses can be anxiety filled, but they made it painless. I wear glasses and now will be switching to also be seen there. How I wish I had found him sooner.
If you are in need of glasses, contacts or just an exam, don’t go anywhere else. You’ve found the best!

You can’t go wrong the entire staff is great. Office is comfortable and Dr. Cohen is very easy to talk with and explains everything. Going back and recommending to anyone who needs a great eye doctor.

This office is awesome. The staff is so professional and Dr Cohen is thorough and takes his time to get to know you. I highly recommend this office!

Dr. Cohen is extremely professional, but also makes you feel very comfortable asking questions. He spends a lot of time with his patients and is truly concerned with their well being. My family and I have been coming here for years and always have a positive experience. His staff is very knowledgeable and attentive (and unlike most doctor’s offices they actually answer the phone — every time!).
I highly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone!
