Our Board-Certified Ophthalmologist
Provides Comprehensive Ocular Treatment
Dr. Justin Coco has been a practicing ophthalmologist since 2010. Over a career spanning approximately a decade and a half, he has become a specialist in performing cataract surgeries and refractive surgeries such as LASIK, PRK, refractive lens exchange, and ICL implants. In 2012, Dr. Coco proved himself to be a truly elite ophthalmologist by earning board certification from the American Osteopathic Board of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology.
He achieved board certification by passing rigorous requirements set forth by the specialty certifying board. Dr. Coco maintains his prestigious board certification by completing four-pronged Osteopathic Continuous Certification requirements that promote lifelong learning, practice enhancement, and optimal patient care. The elite status he has attained makes us proud to call Dr. Coco the Medical Director of Hines Sight in Denver, CO.
