As of 09/30/2022, Dr. Cebulla has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Very patient and took her time answering all questions.
One of the best in her field.
Excellent.
Genuine concern.
Asked about visits with other cancer specialists that I have been seen by which was good.
Dr. Cebulla was very easy to talk to and gave great explanations to all of my questions & medical issues. She informed me of future expectations/testing and why. She even called me when my husband left his wallet there!
I had to wait 4 hours after testing to see Dr. Cebulla but when she did come in, she didn't seem to be in a rush. She was smiling and her voice was calm and pleasant. I was totally worn out from waiting 4 hours to see her but there was nothing I could do about that. She had to have been tired too but she didn't show it.
Dr. Cebulla is a wonderful and caring physician. The state of Ohio is lucky to have her expertise in treating cancers of the eye.
A excellent experienced doctor who was easy to communicate with.
Dr. was super! Helped me relax.

Very good care.
My care provider is does not waist time when it comes to checking my health issue. This was just a follow up visit.
Even though it was late, Dr spent time with me discussing my problem and developing a plan of action.
Overall, excellent care. Dr. Cebulla interrupted the fellow during his exam, and he tried to answer her questions as she asked and his flow was changed. The two of them talked and I felt ignored at times.

Dr. Cebulla is the best doctor I have ever seen. She diagnosed my rare cancer after I was misdiagnosed by another provider and performed my surgery 3 weeks later. She is always very caring and explains everything very well. I am blessed to have her as my doctor.
Very kind and professional.
Very professional, yet friendly. Explained things well. Seemed interested in me and the issue for which I was referred to her.
As usual, good. Once I saw her!
Dr. Cebulla enlightened me by telling me how other health conditions can be revealed in the eyes. She did a deep dive into my family history for certain health concerns that were revealed in my eye exam. Fortunately, I am already aware of them, but will certainly have regular follow up appointments/tests for those conditions. She spoke to me on my level and gave volumes of information. She even suggested I consider registering for a clinical study, which I am very happy to do.

Dr. Cebulla is amazing! Although wait times are usually longer, I know this is due to the rare conditions she treats and the time she spends with her patients. She is one of a kind!

We cannot say enough great things about Dr. Colleen Cebulla. She delivered very devastating news in the most gentle and informative way. She explained the surgery and why it was needed and was careful to have all the imaging possible done. Her office squeezed us in because of the nature of the diagnosis. Very much appreciated and grateful.

Very knowledgeable.
While Dr. Cebulla is with me you'd never know she has rooms full of people to see. She is attentive, and makes sure she has answered my questions. I think she makes me feel special, and as a nurse I think that is very important.
Dr. Cebulla and her staff have been amazing! She took at least an hour to explain my diagnosis and get my wife on the phone to answer questions and concerns. She and her staff are first class! Thank you so much for all you have done for me so far!
