After the laser procedure there was no post op information provided. I felt overwhelmed and a bit rushed with the process.

I knew I was in good hands with Dr. Rouse even before we met. It seemed like the whole waiting room was singing his praises. I have been struggling with a retina problem with my " good eye". Dr. Rouse was extremely thorough and answered all of my questions. He was very caring and I am very comfortable with the plan in place for my vision. I highly recommend him!
