| - I cannot speak to the Cole Eye Institute as a whole, which is why I am giving it more stars than my experience there would dictate. I dealt with one specific doctor there, and found him to be entirely worthless as a medical professional.
I was unlucky enough to have Dr. Mehran Taban see me at the Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute. He is a fellow there and was on staff in the Emergency Eye area.
I realize that emergency areas are busy. I am especially aware that doctors have little time to chat because other patients need them. However, Dr. Taban literally would not let me finish - a - sentence. He gave me an exam that was quick, interrupted by a phone call, and shoddy. I kept waiting for my chance to tell him what was wrong, and he wouldn't let me talk.
Finally, I said, "Can I talk now?" He looked taken aback and bothered. It was the only way to say something before he walked out the door.
I told him my concerns and he told me, "There are no magic cures." ...great. The man did nothing to diagnose my condition, didn't listen to any of my information which might have helped him do so, and seemed almost bothered by my presence. Then he insults my intellect by telling me that magic cures do not exist. I realize that. In fact, that is why I went to the Cleveland Clinic.
...ugh.
The worst part was when a beautiful female doctor came in to talk with him. He got all full of smiles and was flirting his @ss off. Once she left, he turned to me and rushed me out.
Dr. Mehran Taban really soured me on this place. I suspect it has more to offer in the way of good doctors and quality care. Next time, I'll go with a different doctor.
