Illinois Retina Associates

It was a follow up visit for treatment of small branch retina occlusion. She is very thorough and professional about examining my eye(s) and explaining what’s going on, I’m not just an eye to her.

What a great team at Dr. Merrill office. From the women in the front to the women in the back. All to see a profile office with most of the employees are women. Love the qomen empowerment. Their team has helped me see again and I'm so thankful.

Definitely recommend Dr. Merrill. She moves swiftly between patients, BUT knows each & every one & treats each w/ respect. I have been under her care for last 11 yrs since moving here to Illinois. YES if any retina issues, she is the best.

I was truly surprised when the assistant said I had improved greatly from my last exam. Then Dr. Packo said NO INJECTION needed at this time due to the improvement and something he used during my previous visit. I was extremely happy. All his assistants are very helpful and accomodating. Dr....

I trust and respect this doctor. Good man.

The entire staff is personable, helpful, and knowledgeable. Dr. Merrill took the time to answer all my questions and clarified where I stand regarding my eyes. I was extremely pleased with the experience and happy my doctor recommended her.

Dr. Cohen is a compassionate, skilled and personable healthcare professional and he still has confidence in his patience

The office staff is always friendly and efficient. Dr. Merrill has a bright, cheerful personality. She is always professional, attentive to my needs, and anxious to answer any questions. Everyone is a joy to work with.

Dr.MacCumber saw me during the Covid-19 pandemic this week. His office took every precaution required to stay safe. He is a superb retinal specialist- I would highly recommend him

I Visited Dr. Maccumber on March 26. My visit was to treat rt eye. Dr. Maccumber was very professional and quick. The staff treated me with great consideration and respect. I would refer Dr. Maccumber to anyone of my Family members or my friends.

Like many patients with Macular Degeneration, the thought of loss of vision was troubling and very worrisome. However, as soon as I entered the Dr. Cohen's office and began to meet the staff, I felt at ease. The calming manner with which each staff member performed eye tests for Dr. Cohen's...

I came to your office on 2/3/2020 as a new patient very apprehensive and worried about the care and service I would receive. Being a 73 year old with blurred vision is very frighting. From the start of my visit I had the pleasure of being greeted by Paula. She gave and took all my information ...

Dr. Cohen is an outstanding specialist. He eliminated a case of intractable floaters that had been plaguing my vision for years. He was extremely personable, careful and willing to take the time to explain things thoroughly. The procedures went without a hitch and recovery was amazingly fast. You...

Dr. Cohen is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and has a wonderful demeanor. He is highly recommended.

I was recommended to Dr Packo by University ophthalmology. They did some tests and at the end of my visit, no conclusion was drawn. All Dr. Packo said was he will talk to doctor from University ophthalmology as he cannot draw any definite conclusion from the tests. This was fine with me unless they...

When someone saves your eye sight you are eternally grateful. But once in a while I meet a doctor whose concern about your well being exceeds all expectations.

He communicates and answered our questions

I am new to Dr. Cohen’s practice. I had an emergency with a problem with my eyes due to an elevated blood sugar level. I couldn’t see and Dr. Cohen’s receptionist made an Appointment for me to,see him right away. He examined my eyes and assured me that everything is fine and that my vision...

I can't imagine finding a better, more caring, or highly skilled doctor than Dr. Jack Cohen. From the first time we met, Dr. Cohen and his wonderful staff did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. Before surgery, he noted my concerns about types of anesthesia and my previous reactions...

Dr. Cohen diagnosed and surgically repaired left and right detached retinas for me - 5 months apart. Both surgeries were performed within hours of diagnosis.. Both involved minimal discomfort, excellent follow-up care, and FULL RECOVERY. Now, 10 months later, my vision is as good as any time in my...

Amazing Doctor he is very compassionate and shows great concern for his patients. He has helped my vision go from pitch black with a complete ruptured globe to seeing light and shapes and being able to count how many fingers are held up infront of me. Still receiving long term treatment for my...

I was referred by my ophthalmologist and Dr. Cohen offered to see me the same day!! He is a retinal specialist with very sophisticated equipment and was able to determine my condition with a high degree of accuracy. Many Thanks to Dr. Cohen & his Staff!! Very Professional!

The wait time was.... sigh. But it's OK because that shows that he spends quality time with each patient, including me. He is tops in my book and will highly recommend him to all who ask.

Recently took my mother there after a referral and we couldn't ask for a better experience. Dr. Cohen and his staff are very professional, organized and caring. The appointment did not take that long which was surprisingly nice. Anyone that needs to see an eye specialist, I can't think of any place...

Thank God Dr. Cohen was my Doctor when I had a Detached Retina.

I cannot express strongly enough my gratitude to Dr Packo for his help with my retinal detachment. After 3 surgeries with another surgeon that were unsuccessful, I was referred to Dr. Packo. He is a very genuine, caring physician with world class surgical skills, in my opinion. Although I will not...

My experience with Dr. Cohen could not have been better. He was patient, personable, knowledgeable, confident, with the ability to put his patient at ease.
