I felt like I was just another body sitting there. He told me how “great” the surgery had gone. I tried to tell him my right eye was not good and I couldn’t drive as it was still very blurry. Zero empathy for me and the situation. I was just another number.
Dr Tubbs is very personable and knowledgeable about eye issues and general heslth concerns. He provided me with options for my dry eye issues
Dr Tubbs is a fabulous doctor
Efficient and friendly staff supporting a wonderful caring physician!
He was friendly but professional. He explained what he saw in my records and test results and what he was recommending. Took the time to explain the process. I appreciated his thoroughness.
He was very thorough and explained everything to me. He had a great chair side manner. He answered all of my questions and he cared about my concerns. Great doctor....
Very competent, friendly and patient explaining things well. A good visit.
Dr. Tubbs is personable and willing to explain things in a way a layperson can understand. He even seems to enjoy my odd humor. One of my favorite doctors.
Great job
Great
