Dr. Coney is a wonderful doctor, he gave me my vision back. I was in a lot of trouble with my eyes and he gave me my 20/20 vision back. I can't thank him enough for what he and his staff has done for me. All of his staff is so nice and friendly, they genuinely care about your problems. I can't say enough good things about Retina Associates and Dr. Coney.

I was referred to Dr Coney on an emergency basis because of a sudden loss of vision due to bleeding in my eye. Because I already have very low vision in both eyes, I was frightened, especially since the loss of vision was in my better eye. Dr. Coney and staff were kind, reassuring, thorough, knowledgeable and skilled. The office has the latest equipment and Dr. Coney and staff explained each step along the way. I subsequently needed surgery to remove the blood from my eye. Again, on the day of the surgery, I felt I was in the best of hands. Since the surgery I am now able to see as I did before. I am so thankful not only that I can again see, but for the kindness and support I was shown along the way!

Dr. Coney saved my vision! I was legally blind when I went to him the first time. A year later, my vision is 20/20. I feel that he is a miracle worker! I am very blessed to have been referred to him.

Dr. Coney saved my eye!!! I was being given upsetting news about the condition of my eye and so I sought a second opinion from Dr. Coney. He provided excellent and compassionate care and was able to recommend an alternative path that saved my eye. I am incredibly grateful to him and the staff at Retina Associates for their care and attention to me.

I had a retinal detachment repair in 2014. Dr. Coney removed an epiretinal membrane in 2016 which resulted in 20/20 corrected vision. He is excellent in every way. I have met five doctors at Retina Associates due to the emergent nature of my problem. I appreciate that these doctors travel to several offices bringing top notch care to our communities. The office does its best to accommodate many people’s needs.

Considering the number of people Dr. Coney and his partners help each day, They are well staffed and very efficient. I am very thankful for the care I have received. Thank you!
