Dr. Gregory S Kosmorsky, DO, has been the only true long-term physician that I have been under the care of with the Cleveland Clinic. As a young Dr. around 1989 he has overseen my vision and subsequent issues from 1989 to present day. My primary care oversight has shifted over the years like the wind. Thank you for doctors like Dr. "Koz" who develop a long-term relationship in not only caring for, but understanding and balancing the patients wants and needs.

I wish the doctor would have introduced himself to me and offered a handshake since I had never met him before. just a suggestion to be more personal.
Reviewed on Sep 27, 2018
Dr. was abrupt, dismissive and not willing to talk about referral or complicated medical history as it may relate to current symptoms. Husband and I will never return and will caution friends to not see him ever. Office staff was good though and we were pleased to get in relatively quickly from the time the retinal specialist referred me.

Dr Kosmorsky is always thorough with explaining what was done, what the results were and what actions would be needed going forward. He always reminds me to alert the proper caregiver if new or worsening signs/symptoms occur. There is always a follow up call with results from other diagnostics.

I was in the exam room for at least an hour waiting for my annual diabetes eye exam. I was at my appointment start to finish about 2 hours and saw my doctor for only about 10 minutes. I understand this is not uncommon because I see alot of doctors at the clinic with myself and family. I mention it because you asked and I really wish two hours could be shortened.

Dr. Kosmorsky is a wonderful Doctor who truly listens to his patients concerns. His answers were easy to understand and he was very helpful to me.

Provider is very hurried. Spends as little time as possible. Does not ask if I have questions. I feel like I am one of the cattle being herded along in and out as fast as possible. I do believe he is an exceptionally competent surgeon however, I have never felt more like cattle being rushed through as I did for my eye surgeries. He is very proud of how fast he can complete an eye surgery and how many people (cattle) he can get done in a morning but there is no feeling of being an individual who is being cared for.

Doctor gave no advice about how to deal with troubling side effects of the eye drops. Doctor gave an evaluation of 20/20 vision and said he could do nothing for me even though the letters I read for the evaluation were blurry to me.

Dr. casually informed me that I have a life altering disease, but provided no counseling or suggested follow up. This was cruel.
Reviewed on Jan 26, 2018
the provider was only in the exam room for a very few minutes. He did none of the screenings and only briefly looked at my eyes. My biggest concern is that his manner was extremely brusk, never making eye contact and seemed to be in a hurry to leave. When he left he said "it was nice meeting you". I had to laugh since I didn't feel as if we had met - no eye contact or introduction when he came in.
