Elliot W Cooperman MD

I had a retinal detachment and was at risk of losing my vision. Thanks to Dr. Cooperman’s quick intervention, deep knowledge, and exceptional professionalism, my sight was saved. He explained every step clearly and made me feel confident and supported throughout the process. The office is well-organized and the staff is wonderful. I’m truly grateful and highly recommend him.

Dr. Cooperman is wonderful. He has been taking care of my eyes for a number of years. His extensive medical knowledge, experience and compassion make for the perfect doctor. I am glad that he is my doctor and if you have a retinal issue, I would highly recommend him.

I went to see Elliot W Cooperman Md for a second opinion on 8/15/25 about a medical issue. I spent over three hours in the doctor's office. Before Dr. Cooperman would give a diagnosis, he wanted to schedule another test in his office for the following Friday on (8/22/25), I made the appointment and left. I received a call from the office manager, Julie on Tuesday 8/19/25 and was told Dr Cooperman thinks it's best to continue seeing my current doctor and my appointment for Friday for more testing had been canceled with no other explanation given. My wife and I were shocked so I called back the next day on 8/20/25 and talked to Julie, to get more information as to why Dr Cooperman canceled my test and was told she was just relaying the information from the doctor. After I took a day off from work to see the doctor on 8/15, and to spend over 3 hours there to leave with no second opinion to what my medical issue was, and then to be canceled for my second appointment I am not sure what kind of doctor would do this. I did receive my notes from my visit and it clearly said I was to return for more testing and nothing about staying with my first doctor. This makes me think did the doctor cancel my next appointment or did the office staff take it upon themselves to cancel it. Either way this isn’t a doctor I would recommend.

Dr. Cooperman is an awesome doctor. Very courteous, friendly and warm. However, the wait time is abysmal. I was in the office for almost 2 hours for a dilated eye exam, and that was with an appointment. Doc apologized for the long wait, but I can't understand why it takes so long to be seen. This is my second appointment in 2 years, and had a similar experience the first time around, but my most recent appointment had the longest wait time to date. Perhaps they over schedule... I dunno.

Dr Cooperman is the only Ophthalmologist/Retina Surgeon that I will trust my eyes to. He is emphatic and kind and is a great surgeon. He has the power of life and death in his hands. I have been a patient of Dr Cooperman since 2001 and will continue to see him. I have referred numerous friends to him because he is that good.
